Optimise your tax situation

Paying taxes of one kind or another is something with which we are all familiar. However, there are surprisingly many legitimate ways for individuals to minimise the financial impact of taxation.

Wherever you live and wherever your assets are held, some form of taxation, direct or indirect, is almost inevitable. However, the discrepancies between the tax laws of different countries can be extremely wide. Some assets are taxed more in certain jurisdictions than others; some are heavily taxed here, but tax-exempt there.

Residence is key

If you are tax-resident in one country, with assets either there or abroad, your tax position should be relatively straightforward. However, if you change your tax residency, then consideration must be given to the changed tax implications.
