USA Citizens
Most countries tax all their residents (not only citizens) on their worldwide income and their citizens escape tax if they are not resident in the country. The United States is unlike other countries in that its citizens pay US tax on their income no matter in which country they are resident. US citizens therefore find it difficult to take advantage of personal tax havens. Although there are some offshore bank accounts that have been advertised as tax havens, U.S. law requires reporting of income from those accounts and failure to do so constitutes tax evasion.
However: US citizens may exclude up to US$80,000 of income earned overseas as well as housing expenses if they physically reside overseas.
Examples of Tax Havens and Tax Havens of the World
* The UK is a tax haven for people of foreign domicile, even if they are UK resident (residence and domicile being separate legal concepts in the UK), in that they pay no tax on foreign income not remitted to the UK. Similar arrangements are to be found in a few other countries including Ireland.
* Switzerland is a tax haven for foreigners who become resident after negotiating the amount of their income subject to taxation with the canton in which they intend to live. Typically taxable income is assumed to be five times the accommodation rental paid.
* Monaco does not levy a personal income tax and neither does Andorra. The Bahamas levies neither personal income nor capital gains tax, nor are there inheritance taxes.
* In the various Channel Islands, and in the Isle of Man, no tax is paid by corporations or individuals on foreign income and gains. Non-residents are not taxed on local income. Local taxation is at a fixed rate of 20.0%.
* In Gibraltar, tax exempt companies, which must not trade or conduct any business locally, are taxed at a flat rate of £100 a year.
* Vanuatu, an island archipelago state in the Micronesian Pacific, is a tax haven that does not release account information to other governments and law enforcement agencies. In Vanuatu, there is no income tax, no withholding tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance taxes, and no exchange controls. Vanuatu reputedly has become a mechanism for international transfers of cash in CIA operations. Vanuatu related businesses and bank accounts surfaced in the relations to 2004 Presidential vote fraud in the United States, according to investigative journalist Wayne Marsden.
