00:00:00 | 00:00:05 | have you ever wondered how the rich |
00:00:02 | 00:00:06 | legally avoid paying tax how hundreds of |
00:00:05 | 00:00:08 | billions of dollars |
00:00:06 | 00:00:10 | every single year gets moved around in a |
00:00:08 | 00:00:12 | very creative way so that ultimately |
00:00:10 | 00:00:14 | people don't have to pay that money to |
00:00:12 | 00:00:15 | the government well in this video i'm |
00:00:14 | 00:00:16 | going to explain to you the different |
00:00:15 | 00:00:17 | ways |
00:00:16 | 00:00:19 | that this is possible i'm going to |
00:00:17 | 00:00:21 | explain the different places that |
00:00:19 | 00:00:23 | business owners and individuals |
00:00:21 | 00:00:25 | set up themselves legally where they |
00:00:23 | 00:00:26 | have different residencies maybe they |
00:00:25 | 00:00:29 | headquarter their companies somewhere |
00:00:26 | 00:00:31 | and they're able to avoid massive |
00:00:29 | 00:00:33 | massive tax bills now |
00:00:31 | 00:00:35 | how am i someone who is qualified to |
00:00:33 | 00:00:35 | tok about this i wanted to bring up |
00:00:35 | 00:00:38 | this point |
00:00:35 | 00:00:39 | i live in one of these tax havens that |
00:00:38 | 00:00:41 | i'm about to mention here in this video |
00:00:39 | 00:00:42 | this video is not meant to be politikal |
00:00:41 | 00:00:44 | we're not going to tok about the |
00:00:42 | 00:00:45 | benefit of paying certain taxes versus |
00:00:44 | 00:00:46 | not |
00:00:45 | 00:00:48 | that would be a very different |
00:00:46 | 00:00:50 | conversation as to the different |
00:00:48 | 00:00:52 | government mismanagement of |
00:00:50 | 00:00:54 | funds so in this video let's jump right |
00:00:52 | 00:00:55 | in make sure to drop a like |
00:00:54 | 00:00:57 | i'm going to run you through the |
00:00:55 | 00:00:59 | different tax havens that exist |
00:00:57 | 00:01:01 | there's a lot more that we can tok |
00:00:59 | 00:01:03 | about in terms of tax havens there's |
00:01:01 | 00:01:06 | some that i'm not gonna bring up because |
00:01:03 | 00:01:07 | it would be very very difficult to move |
00:01:06 | 00:01:09 | to that location it might not have a |
00:01:07 | 00:01:11 | very high quality of life |
00:01:09 | 00:01:12 | or it just might not be the best option |
00:01:11 | 00:01:14 | so there's always more that you can do |
00:01:12 | 00:01:16 | research on there's probably about 25 to |
00:01:14 | 00:01:17 | 30 different places |
00:01:16 | 00:01:19 | where you could do this in different |
00:01:17 | 00:01:21 | ways there's also programs where you can |
00:01:19 | 00:01:22 | just travel the world full time and |
00:01:21 | 00:01:25 | avoid |
00:01:22 | 00:01:26 | most taxes so as your income increases |
00:01:25 | 00:01:28 | this video might become very very |
00:01:26 | 00:01:29 | valuable for you |
00:01:28 | 00:01:31 | and i just wanted to tok about it so |
00:01:29 | 00:01:33 | let's jump right in what are |
00:01:31 | 00:01:35 | the different options that you have well |
00:01:33 | 00:01:37 | there's many and before you make a |
00:01:35 | 00:01:38 | selection from the list i'm about to |
00:01:37 | 00:01:40 | provide you i'm going to tok about each |
00:01:38 | 00:01:41 | of these things very briefly |
00:01:40 | 00:01:43 | i want to tok about the things you have |
00:01:41 | 00:01:44 | to factor in these are things that i had |
00:01:43 | 00:01:47 | to consider |
00:01:44 | 00:01:48 | when i was starting to attempt to not |
00:01:47 | 00:01:49 | want to pay taxes i guess that's the |
00:01:48 | 00:01:51 | best way i could put it |
00:01:49 | 00:01:53 | i realized that there was legal ways to |
00:01:51 | 00:01:54 | avoid it and i wanted every single part |
00:01:53 | 00:01:55 | of that |
00:01:54 | 00:01:57 | so i started looking into this and |
00:01:55 | 00:01:58 | there's different things you're going to |
00:01:57 | 00:01:59 | want to consider |
00:01:58 | 00:02:01 | number one the biggest question is where |
00:01:59 | 00:02:04 | are you starting from so this is very |
00:02:01 | 00:02:05 | very different if you live in the u.s |
00:02:04 | 00:02:07 | versus pretty much anywhere else in the |
00:02:05 | 00:02:09 | world that's kind of like the two halves |
00:02:07 | 00:02:10 | it's either you live in the u.s or you |
00:02:09 | 00:02:12 | don't and if you don't live in the u.s |
00:02:10 | 00:02:14 | you actually have a lot more |
00:02:12 | 00:02:16 | options and a lot more flexibility so |
00:02:14 | 00:02:18 | first thing is are you willing to give |
00:02:16 | 00:02:19 | up your citizenship to wherever you live |
00:02:18 | 00:02:21 | right now that's a question you're going |
00:02:19 | 00:02:23 | to have to know the answer to |
00:02:21 | 00:02:24 | because whatever you end up doing may or |
00:02:23 | 00:02:26 | may not require that so |
00:02:24 | 00:02:28 | is that something that you'd be willing |
00:02:26 | 00:02:30 | to do for me the answer was a hard |
00:02:28 | 00:02:32 | no and that right there limited my |
00:02:30 | 00:02:34 | options as a previous u.s |
00:02:32 | 00:02:36 | resident who was not willing to give up |
00:02:34 | 00:02:38 | his citizenship there was instantly |
00:02:36 | 00:02:38 | like 30 options down to maybe three |
00:02:38 | 00:02:39 | another thing you're going to want to |
00:02:38 | 00:02:41 | factor in |
00:02:39 | 00:02:43 | obviously is the tax rate out of the |
00:02:41 | 00:02:45 | options that will be available to you |
00:02:43 | 00:02:47 | which one are you going to want based on |
00:02:45 | 00:02:48 | the tax rate because not all these tax |
00:02:47 | 00:02:50 | havens are at zero percent |
00:02:48 | 00:02:51 | so it doesn't mean that it's not worth |
00:02:50 | 00:02:52 | it it doesn't mean that maybe you |
00:02:51 | 00:02:53 | shouldn't do it |
00:02:52 | 00:02:55 | there's people who live in places like |
00:02:53 | 00:02:56 | greece we're going to tok about right |
00:02:55 | 00:02:58 | now and they're totally okay |
00:02:56 | 00:02:59 | paying the six-figure tax bill that they |
00:02:58 | 00:03:01 | have to pay to live there because it's |
00:02:59 | 00:03:03 | substantially less and their quality of |
00:03:01 | 00:03:04 | life is more so you have to factor in |
00:03:03 | 00:03:06 | quality of life |
00:03:04 | 00:03:08 | how easy is it to move there how is the |
00:03:06 | 00:03:09 | travel going to be in and out of that |
00:03:08 | 00:03:10 | location is that convenient |
00:03:09 | 00:03:12 | that's something you might want to |
00:03:10 | 00:03:14 | factor in and overall just all the |
00:03:12 | 00:03:16 | little things that would go into |
00:03:14 | 00:03:17 | moving somewhere probably very foreign |
00:03:16 | 00:03:18 | those are things you're going to want to |
00:03:17 | 00:03:20 | factor |
00:03:18 | 00:03:21 | in now what are the actual locations you |
00:03:20 | 00:03:23 | can move to |
00:03:21 | 00:03:24 | what are the tax implications associated |
00:03:23 | 00:03:26 | with that i want to start with the one |
00:03:24 | 00:03:28 | that i am actually standing in |
00:03:26 | 00:03:29 | right now which is my home here in |
00:03:28 | 00:03:31 | puerto rico for |
00:03:29 | 00:03:33 | u.s residents this is probably going to |
00:03:31 | 00:03:35 | be your best option |
00:03:33 | 00:03:37 | now unfortunately it's actually not a |
00:03:35 | 00:03:39 | zero percent tax basis |
00:03:37 | 00:03:40 | i pay four percent flat from a corporate |
00:03:39 | 00:03:43 | perspective |
00:03:40 | 00:03:44 | i also pay a pretty normal tax rate of |
00:03:43 | 00:03:47 | about 20 plus percent |
00:03:44 | 00:03:48 | on my personal salary which is minimal |
00:03:47 | 00:03:51 | but still considered |
00:03:48 | 00:03:52 | fair and reasonable so consider that |
00:03:51 | 00:03:54 | there is still probably an effective |
00:03:52 | 00:03:56 | seven to ten percent tax rate |
00:03:54 | 00:03:58 | a lot of different fees and costs that |
00:03:56 | 00:04:00 | happen on a monthly and yearly basis |
00:03:58 | 00:04:01 | to actually support living down in |
00:04:00 | 00:04:03 | puerto rico so |
00:04:01 | 00:04:04 | that's probably the best option for u.s |
00:04:03 | 00:04:05 | residents you do not have to give up |
00:04:04 | 00:04:08 | your citizenship |
00:04:05 | 00:04:09 | it's pretty dang easy to move here um at |
00:04:08 | 00:04:10 | least |
00:04:09 | 00:04:12 | now i kind of see that it was it was |
00:04:10 | 00:04:13 | pretty daunting there was a lot of |
00:04:12 | 00:04:14 | paperwork when i was first getting |
00:04:13 | 00:04:16 | started |
00:04:14 | 00:04:18 | but compared to a lot of these other tax |
00:04:16 | 00:04:19 | havens and different places that you |
00:04:18 | 00:04:21 | could move to |
00:04:19 | 00:04:23 | this is one of the easier ones for us |
00:04:21 | 00:04:25 | residents because it's still a part of |
00:04:23 | 00:04:26 | the united states now to actually live |
00:04:25 | 00:04:28 | in puerto rico you have to pass what's |
00:04:26 | 00:04:29 | called the closer connection test which |
00:04:28 | 00:04:31 | means |
00:04:29 | 00:04:32 | you need to be able to prove ties to |
00:04:31 | 00:04:34 | puerto rico |
00:04:32 | 00:04:36 | closer than you can to anywhere else |
00:04:34 | 00:04:36 | pretty much meaning wherever you moved |
00:04:36 | 00:04:39 | from |
00:04:36 | 00:04:39 | so for me i moved from arizona to puerto |
00:04:39 | 00:04:41 | rico |
00:04:39 | 00:04:42 | i still have a home there i still have |
00:04:41 | 00:04:43 | cars there i still have a lot of stuff |
00:04:42 | 00:04:45 | there |
00:04:43 | 00:04:47 | you have to be able to prove a closer |
00:04:45 | 00:04:48 | connection to puerto rico so |
00:04:47 | 00:04:50 | a couple things that that might look |
00:04:48 | 00:04:51 | like first of all passing the actual |
00:04:50 | 00:04:54 | test of being present |
00:04:51 | 00:04:54 | you have to spend over 183 days a year |
00:04:54 | 00:04:57 | which is |
00:04:54 | 00:04:59 | half plus a day in puerto rico there's |
00:04:57 | 00:05:00 | no cutting corners there's no getting |
00:04:59 | 00:05:02 | around it that's something you |
00:05:00 | 00:05:04 | definitely don't want to mess with but |
00:05:02 | 00:05:04 | getting a driver's license registering |
00:05:04 | 00:05:06 | to vote |
00:05:04 | 00:05:08 | having you know a social circle here |
00:05:06 | 00:05:10 | spending money here things like that |
00:05:08 | 00:05:11 | that really can prove that hey you |
00:05:10 | 00:05:12 | actually live here you know visiting the |
00:05:11 | 00:05:14 | dentist |
00:05:12 | 00:05:16 | there in puerto rico so things like that |
00:05:14 | 00:05:16 | that can really you know if you had to |
00:05:16 | 00:05:18 | show |
00:05:16 | 00:05:19 | hey i actually live here it'd be pretty |
00:05:18 | 00:05:21 | easy to prove you're going to want to be |
00:05:19 | 00:05:23 | able to prove that now as a us |
00:05:21 | 00:05:25 | resident i wanted to be able to spend |
00:05:23 | 00:05:27 | time back on the mainland so for me |
00:05:25 | 00:05:28 | looking at different places which we're |
00:05:27 | 00:05:30 | going to tok about here in a moment |
00:05:28 | 00:05:32 | it wasn't really as much of an option |
00:05:30 | 00:05:32 | because moving to puerto rico allows me |
00:05:32 | 00:05:35 | to spend |
00:05:32 | 00:05:37 | that difference in time so 183 days here |
00:05:35 | 00:05:38 | and 182 days |
00:05:37 | 00:05:40 | back in the mainland so that's pretty |
00:05:38 | 00:05:42 | much six months that's half the year |
00:05:40 | 00:05:43 | that was more than acceptable for me i |
00:05:42 | 00:05:45 | didn't want to be limited |
00:05:43 | 00:05:46 | in the amount of time in a big way like |
00:05:45 | 00:05:48 | hey you can only spend two or three |
00:05:46 | 00:05:50 | months which some programs |
00:05:48 | 00:05:51 | have a lot of limitations like that so |
00:05:50 | 00:05:52 | let's jump in i want to kind of run you |
00:05:51 | 00:05:53 | through this list |
00:05:52 | 00:05:55 | on a few different places that you could |
00:05:53 | 00:05:56 | move things to consider |
00:05:55 | 00:05:58 | the biggest variable there is going to |
00:05:56 | 00:06:00 | be are you a current u.s resident or not |
00:05:58 | 00:06:00 | because that is going to change this |
00:06:00 | 00:06:02 | drastikally |
00:06:00 | 00:06:04 | number one that i want to point out uh |
00:06:02 | 00:06:06 | malaysia as well as thailand those are |
00:06:04 | 00:06:08 | both options that are very similar |
00:06:06 | 00:06:09 | to each other i did consider thailand |
00:06:08 | 00:06:10 | because i've been there multiple times |
00:06:09 | 00:06:12 | before |
00:06:10 | 00:06:14 | i love it it's just very far in terms of |
00:06:12 | 00:06:14 | distance from where i would be moving |
00:06:14 | 00:06:16 | from |
00:06:14 | 00:06:18 | it's also a little bit more difficult |
00:06:16 | 00:06:21 | it's still fairly easy to move there |
00:06:18 | 00:06:22 | just the change of life wasn't something |
00:06:21 | 00:06:24 | that i was willing to do |
00:06:22 | 00:06:26 | so that option instantly pretty much |
00:06:24 | 00:06:29 | became null and void however |
00:06:26 | 00:06:31 | malaysia has a dividends free tax system |
00:06:29 | 00:06:32 | and that's actually very similar to |
00:06:31 | 00:06:35 | puerto rico where once i pay |
00:06:32 | 00:06:37 | my company's tax rate on that four |
00:06:35 | 00:06:39 | percent tax on all net profit |
00:06:37 | 00:06:40 | i'm able to send the rest of the profits |
00:06:39 | 00:06:42 | back as i see fit |
00:06:40 | 00:06:43 | to myself personally at a zero percent |
00:06:42 | 00:06:45 | dividends rate |
00:06:43 | 00:06:47 | now malaysia has three different types |
00:06:45 | 00:06:48 | of visas that you can apply for |
00:06:47 | 00:06:50 | all of them are fairly simple you want |
00:06:48 | 00:06:52 | to tok to a tax strategist who sets |
00:06:50 | 00:06:53 | people up in foreign countries like this |
00:06:52 | 00:06:55 | if it's something you're actually |
00:06:53 | 00:06:57 | considering but malaysia isn't one of |
00:06:55 | 00:06:59 | the most difficult ones to get approved |
00:06:57 | 00:07:01 | for or to actually move to |
00:06:59 | 00:07:02 | obviously you got to be willing to live |
00:07:01 | 00:07:03 | there thailand |
00:07:02 | 00:07:05 | seems pretty similar in my opinion i've |
00:07:03 | 00:07:07 | been to both of those locations there's |
00:07:05 | 00:07:08 | something called a thai elite visa you |
00:07:07 | 00:07:10 | can get again |
00:07:08 | 00:07:11 | also not the most difficult both of |
00:07:10 | 00:07:12 | those locations were not something that |
00:07:11 | 00:07:14 | i was willing to move to so they were |
00:07:12 | 00:07:14 | kind of ruled out and i kind of group |
00:07:14 | 00:07:17 | them together |
00:07:14 | 00:07:19 | in terms of lifestyle however thailand |
00:07:17 | 00:07:21 | does have a couple of unique features |
00:07:19 | 00:07:23 | the first thing for me in terms of the |
00:07:21 | 00:07:24 | living side of things i notiked that |
00:07:23 | 00:07:27 | thailand would be |
00:07:24 | 00:07:29 | very inexpensive to live in and that's a |
00:07:27 | 00:07:30 | huge difference between puerto rico and |
00:07:29 | 00:07:32 | as someone who is coming from the us |
00:07:30 | 00:07:33 | which is also a little bit expensive |
00:07:32 | 00:07:36 | it would be nice to live in thailand and |
00:07:33 | 00:07:37 | have significantly reduced expenses |
00:07:36 | 00:07:38 | whereas place like puerto rico is a |
00:07:37 | 00:07:40 | little bit more expensive yes there's |
00:07:38 | 00:07:42 | ways to reduce it |
00:07:40 | 00:07:44 | but it's it's definitely on the spendier |
00:07:42 | 00:07:45 | side places like thailand and malaysia |
00:07:44 | 00:07:47 | offer a lot of benefit because of that |
00:07:45 | 00:07:49 | lifestyle and with thailand if you send |
00:07:47 | 00:07:51 | your dividends to yourself in the second |
00:07:49 | 00:07:52 | year of living there you're able to send |
00:07:51 | 00:07:54 | those at a zero percent rate so if you |
00:07:52 | 00:07:55 | hold off on distributing any money from |
00:07:54 | 00:07:56 | the first year and you do it in the |
00:07:55 | 00:07:58 | second year and this is just to my |
00:07:56 | 00:07:59 | understanding from toking to someone |
00:07:58 | 00:08:00 | who sets all this up |
00:07:59 | 00:08:02 | when i was looking at that as an option |
00:08:00 | 00:08:03 | you're then able in that second year to |
00:08:02 | 00:08:04 | send all that money or however much you |
00:08:03 | 00:08:06 | see |
00:08:04 | 00:08:08 | fit at zero percent back to yourself in |
00:08:06 | 00:08:09 | the u.s which is great |
00:08:08 | 00:08:10 | now obviously there's restrictions |
00:08:09 | 00:08:12 | living in thailand you gotta look into |
00:08:10 | 00:08:14 | the time side of it you have to be there |
00:08:12 | 00:08:15 | and that's just another place that you |
00:08:14 | 00:08:17 | can consider another one that i actually |
00:08:15 | 00:08:18 | looked at and considered as something |
00:08:17 | 00:08:21 | for myself |
00:08:18 | 00:08:22 | is uae now this is primarily dubai |
00:08:21 | 00:08:24 | i have three friends that live in dubai |
00:08:22 | 00:08:25 | all of them came from the u.s |
00:08:24 | 00:08:27 | two of them had to give up their |
00:08:25 | 00:08:28 | citizenship for the type of program that |
00:08:27 | 00:08:30 | they're in |
00:08:28 | 00:08:31 | again non-negotiable for me so it wasn't |
00:08:30 | 00:08:32 | something i was willing to do |
00:08:31 | 00:08:35 | i also have to factor in from a |
00:08:32 | 00:08:36 | lifestyle perspective getting to dubai |
00:08:35 | 00:08:38 | is usually a little bit out of the way |
00:08:36 | 00:08:39 | for most people so keep that in mind |
00:08:38 | 00:08:41 | however |
00:08:39 | 00:08:42 | dubai has a couple different programs |
00:08:41 | 00:08:44 | some that don't necessarily require you |
00:08:42 | 00:08:46 | to be there |
00:08:44 | 00:08:48 | for over half the year dubai is a much |
00:08:46 | 00:08:50 | better option to move to if you are |
00:08:48 | 00:08:52 | not a current us resident so that is |
00:08:50 | 00:08:53 | also something to keep in mind |
00:08:52 | 00:08:55 | a lot of people are very lucky who are |
00:08:53 | 00:08:57 | trying to i guess avoid taxes |
00:08:55 | 00:08:58 | uh if you're not coming from the u.s you |
00:08:57 | 00:09:00 | have a lot more options and those |
00:08:58 | 00:09:02 | options in my opinion are much |
00:09:00 | 00:09:04 | much better you could also move to |
00:09:02 | 00:09:05 | panama this is another one that |
00:09:04 | 00:09:07 | people uh find very attractive there's |
00:09:05 | 00:09:08 | been a lot of scandals that have |
00:09:07 | 00:09:09 | happened with panama |
00:09:08 | 00:09:11 | but they find it very attractive because |
00:09:09 | 00:09:12 | of the weather so you got to factor in |
00:09:11 | 00:09:14 | the weather in these different locations |
00:09:12 | 00:09:16 | but places like malaysia thailand puerto |
00:09:14 | 00:09:17 | rico panama they're all very beautiful |
00:09:16 | 00:09:19 | in my opinion |
00:09:17 | 00:09:20 | i have not been to dubai so i can't |
00:09:19 | 00:09:21 | speak on that but i would assume it's |
00:09:20 | 00:09:22 | just really hot which isn't that big of |
00:09:21 | 00:09:24 | a deal |
00:09:22 | 00:09:26 | so keeping in mind with panama they have |
00:09:24 | 00:09:27 | a territorial tax system |
00:09:26 | 00:09:29 | a lot of these places are not zero |
00:09:27 | 00:09:31 | percent but they are very low and |
00:09:29 | 00:09:33 | significantly reducing |
00:09:31 | 00:09:34 | the bill that you have to pay in terms |
00:09:33 | 00:09:36 | of taxes which is very nice and again |
00:09:34 | 00:09:38 | that's why we're obviously doing it |
00:09:36 | 00:09:40 | so panama has a territorial tax system |
00:09:38 | 00:09:41 | it is a little bit harder to move down |
00:09:40 | 00:09:42 | there panama |
00:09:41 | 00:09:44 | i guess puerto rico is kind of becoming |
00:09:42 | 00:09:45 | the second panama in terms of what it's |
00:09:44 | 00:09:47 | known for |
00:09:45 | 00:09:49 | panama has had some huge issues with |
00:09:47 | 00:09:51 | fraud and now puerto rico verifies a lot |
00:09:49 | 00:09:52 | of documents when you move down here |
00:09:51 | 00:09:54 | because puerto rico is becoming a hub |
00:09:52 | 00:09:56 | for fraud so it's just one of those |
00:09:54 | 00:09:57 | things a little bit more difficult to |
00:09:56 | 00:09:58 | move to panama than maybe some other |
00:09:57 | 00:10:00 | options |
00:09:58 | 00:10:01 | a couple more for you is a place like |
00:10:00 | 00:10:02 | greece where if you make a decent amount |
00:10:01 | 00:10:04 | of money and you're willing to pay |
00:10:02 | 00:10:05 | roughly a hundred thousand dollar a year |
00:10:04 | 00:10:07 | flat rate tax |
00:10:05 | 00:10:08 | you could live in greece i didn't know |
00:10:07 | 00:10:10 | about that when i moved to puerto rico |
00:10:08 | 00:10:10 | that would have been a cool option to |
00:10:10 | 00:10:11 | know |
00:10:10 | 00:10:13 | probably still wouldn't have done it |
00:10:11 | 00:10:14 | just because of location very far to get |
00:10:13 | 00:10:15 | to |
00:10:14 | 00:10:17 | um but definitely seems like a really |
00:10:15 | 00:10:18 | cool quality of life so that's something |
00:10:17 | 00:10:19 | to consider |
00:10:18 | 00:10:20 | and there's a couple different program |
00:10:19 | 00:10:22 | types over there but people choose to do |
00:10:20 | 00:10:22 | that usually when they have a slightly |
00:10:22 | 00:10:24 | higher income |
00:10:22 | 00:10:26 | there's ways to do this and get benefits |
00:10:24 | 00:10:27 | if you're only making even like 70 |
00:10:26 | 00:10:29 | 000 a year we'll tok about that here in |
00:10:27 | 00:10:31 | a moment but there's also a place you |
00:10:29 | 00:10:32 | can move to called chile i've never been |
00:10:31 | 00:10:33 | there myself i want to make that very |
00:10:32 | 00:10:34 | clear so i'm not familiar with the |
00:10:33 | 00:10:36 | weather or the lifestyle |
00:10:34 | 00:10:38 | only the kind of location i understand |
00:10:36 | 00:10:40 | how long it would take to get around |
00:10:38 | 00:10:42 | the world based on where it is however |
00:10:40 | 00:10:44 | in chile they have a three-year tax |
00:10:42 | 00:10:45 | exemption program which is really cool |
00:10:44 | 00:10:46 | and then if you want to go a step |
00:10:45 | 00:10:47 | further beyond that |
00:10:46 | 00:10:49 | you could actually get a citizenship |
00:10:47 | 00:10:51 | there you could move there fully |
00:10:49 | 00:10:53 | and there would be other things that i'm |
00:10:51 | 00:10:53 | not entirely other restrictions that i |
00:10:53 | 00:10:56 | don't know about |
00:10:53 | 00:10:57 | that would have to come into fruition at |
00:10:56 | 00:10:58 | that point so certain amount of time |
00:10:57 | 00:10:59 | spent |
00:10:58 | 00:11:01 | there's probably some other fees and |
00:10:59 | 00:11:03 | different small tax rates but they have |
00:11:01 | 00:11:04 | a three-year program that you can look |
00:11:03 | 00:11:06 | into i also did not know this one |
00:11:04 | 00:11:07 | existed when i moved on to puerto rico |
00:11:06 | 00:11:09 | i've met a lot of very interesting |
00:11:07 | 00:11:10 | people here which is also really cool |
00:11:09 | 00:11:12 | the community behind |
00:11:10 | 00:11:14 | the people that do this and they chase |
00:11:12 | 00:11:16 | the different tax havens is super super |
00:11:14 | 00:11:16 | cool and you meet a lot of really cool |
00:11:16 | 00:11:18 | people |
00:11:16 | 00:11:20 | during that time in that process so |
00:11:18 | 00:11:21 | there's a lot of other locations that |
00:11:20 | 00:11:22 | i'm not really here to bring up because |
00:11:21 | 00:11:23 | it's |
00:11:22 | 00:11:24 | probably a little bit more unrealistik |
00:11:23 | 00:11:26 | to move there you can look into them |
00:11:24 | 00:11:29 | places like andorra |
00:11:26 | 00:11:30 | malta going to bermuda going to the |
00:11:29 | 00:11:32 | cayman islands british virgin islands |
00:11:30 | 00:11:33 | there's different things different |
00:11:32 | 00:11:35 | requirements different citizenships and |
00:11:33 | 00:11:37 | stuff depending on what you are willing |
00:11:35 | 00:11:38 | to or not willing to do |
00:11:37 | 00:11:40 | there's a lot of different locations |
00:11:38 | 00:11:41 | that have benefits so some places where |
00:11:40 | 00:11:42 | you can just structure the headquarters |
00:11:41 | 00:11:43 | for your company if you have a |
00:11:42 | 00:11:44 | corporation |
00:11:43 | 00:11:45 | and you don't actually have to live |
00:11:44 | 00:11:47 | there and then you could you know |
00:11:45 | 00:11:48 | transfer a lot of the assets from your |
00:11:47 | 00:11:50 | company over there and then charge your |
00:11:48 | 00:11:51 | u.s company to use them and effectively |
00:11:50 | 00:11:52 | pay less tax and |
00:11:51 | 00:11:53 | there's a lot of different things that |
00:11:52 | 00:11:55 | you can do like that but there's one |
00:11:53 | 00:11:57 | more program that i want to bring up |
00:11:55 | 00:11:59 | that seems really really cool there's a |
00:11:57 | 00:12:00 | program called the foreign earned income |
00:11:59 | 00:12:03 | exclusion i only know |
00:12:00 | 00:12:04 | one person from i'm not super close with |
00:12:03 | 00:12:05 | them who's been a part of this program |
00:12:04 | 00:12:07 | for about four years |
00:12:05 | 00:12:09 | this program is really cool because if |
00:12:07 | 00:12:10 | you make let's just say a lesser amount |
00:12:09 | 00:12:12 | you know you're making |
00:12:10 | 00:12:14 | a hundred thousand dollars a year or 105 |
00:12:12 | 00:12:16 | or 180 or whatever |
00:12:14 | 00:12:17 | most of that tax can be contributed to a |
00:12:16 | 00:12:19 | foreign earned |
00:12:17 | 00:12:20 | income exclusion which basically means |
00:12:19 | 00:12:22 | you pay i think the amount's probably |
00:12:20 | 00:12:24 | going to come out to about 10 percent |
00:12:22 | 00:12:25 | and this is the program that people take |
00:12:24 | 00:12:27 | part in when they want to |
00:12:25 | 00:12:28 | travel and that's just to my knowledge |
00:12:27 | 00:12:29 | to my understanding i'm not a part of |
00:12:28 | 00:12:31 | this program |
00:12:29 | 00:12:33 | but a lot of bloggers do this you know |
00:12:31 | 00:12:34 | travel bloggers youtubers |
00:12:33 | 00:12:35 | people that just kind of want to bounce |
00:12:34 | 00:12:37 | around they want to go spend a month in |
00:12:35 | 00:12:38 | bali and then a month in thailand and |
00:12:37 | 00:12:39 | they want to go check out europe and |
00:12:38 | 00:12:41 | spain and |
00:12:39 | 00:12:42 | see all these places and since they're |
00:12:41 | 00:12:44 | constantly moving |
00:12:42 | 00:12:46 | they're able to basically be exempt from |
00:12:44 | 00:12:48 | most taxes because they're tiknically |
00:12:46 | 00:12:50 | not primarily in one spot |
00:12:48 | 00:12:52 | now to my knowledge a lot of the |
00:12:50 | 00:12:54 | restrictions on this come with you can't |
00:12:52 | 00:12:55 | let's say you fall in love with one spot |
00:12:54 | 00:12:57 | you're not actually able to stay there |
00:12:55 | 00:12:58 | there's limitations on how long you can |
00:12:57 | 00:13:00 | stay in certain places |
00:12:58 | 00:13:01 | not to mention the frustration of |
00:13:00 | 00:13:03 | getting visas in certain places |
00:13:01 | 00:13:04 | because tiknically you're working |
00:13:03 | 00:13:05 | abroad things like that can create a |
00:13:04 | 00:13:07 | little bit more of a hassle |
00:13:05 | 00:13:08 | but to my knowledge this program is not |
00:13:07 | 00:13:09 | something that's very difficult to |
00:13:08 | 00:13:11 | become a part of there's just a little |
00:13:09 | 00:13:12 | bit more restrictions and that can be a |
00:13:11 | 00:13:13 | great alternative for someone who wants |
00:13:12 | 00:13:14 | to travel |
00:13:13 | 00:13:16 | maybe doesn't know where they want to |
00:13:14 | 00:13:18 | set up roots because in puerto rico if |
00:13:16 | 00:13:18 | you're in this program or many other |
00:13:18 | 00:13:20 | programs |
00:13:18 | 00:13:21 | it's going to require you to sign a |
00:13:20 | 00:13:22 | 12-month lease and probably eventually |
00:13:21 | 00:13:23 | buy a property and there's a little bit |
00:13:22 | 00:13:24 | more |
00:13:23 | 00:13:26 | you know roots that are really getting |
00:13:24 | 00:13:27 | grounded in you're buying a car most |
00:13:26 | 00:13:28 | likely so |
00:13:27 | 00:13:30 | things like that just to prove that |
00:13:28 | 00:13:31 | you're actually living there and have |
00:13:30 | 00:13:32 | the lifestyle |
00:13:31 | 00:13:34 | of someone who would live there to be |
00:13:32 | 00:13:37 | able to prove it beyond a reasonable |
00:13:34 | 00:13:38 | doubt so that's a bunch of the tax |
00:13:37 | 00:13:40 | havens i wanted to tok about |
00:13:38 | 00:13:42 | i know this video was highly requested |
00:13:40 | 00:13:44 | but it's just something where |
00:13:42 | 00:13:45 | if you have a business or you're making |
00:13:44 | 00:13:46 | a higher income and you can do it |
00:13:45 | 00:13:47 | digitally |
00:13:46 | 00:13:49 | there's a lot of options that open up |
00:13:47 | 00:13:50 | and there's even a lot more options if |
00:13:49 | 00:13:52 | you are not |
00:13:50 | 00:13:54 | currently a resident of the united |
00:13:52 | 00:13:56 | states that's a little frustrating to me |
00:13:54 | 00:13:58 | but hey there's so many cool options out |
00:13:56 | 00:13:58 | there there's so many amazing places |
00:13:58 | 00:14:00 | that you can see |
00:13:58 | 00:14:02 | and i'm sure you could even jump from |
00:14:00 | 00:14:04 | program to program one last thing that i |
00:14:02 | 00:14:05 | want to close this off with considering |
00:14:04 | 00:14:06 | is if you're actually considering doing |
00:14:05 | 00:14:07 | this |
00:14:06 | 00:14:09 | and if this is something you're openly |
00:14:07 | 00:14:10 | pursuing you're toking to people about |
00:14:09 | 00:14:12 | you're looking to set up |
00:14:10 | 00:14:13 | another variable to keep in mind and |
00:14:12 | 00:14:15 | this is something that i did when i was |
00:14:13 | 00:14:17 | moving to puerto rico |
00:14:15 | 00:14:18 | i always wanted to know how difficult it |
00:14:17 | 00:14:21 | would be to |
00:14:18 | 00:14:22 | undo whatever i did so that's why i |
00:14:21 | 00:14:24 | wasn't willing to give it my citizenship |

00:14:24 | 00:14:28 | consider stuff |
00:14:26 | 00:14:30 | very very closely and very in-depth |

00:14:30 | 00:14:33 | how difficult is it going to be to move |
00:14:31 | 00:14:35 | back to get out of the program |

00:14:35 | 00:14:38 | back to how things were before |

00:14:38 | 00:14:41 | programs i toked about the answer is |
00:14:40 | 00:14:42 | actually going to be no |
