(My apologies for the technical nature of this article. Perhaps it is best to just print it out and give it to the accountant or lawyer. However, it could be worth a great deal of …

That I did get. Not only did I not get a discussion going,(not for the points--but for the discussion) but at least two people were honestly confused by the post. What I have yet t…

Actually, the article is a "contrast and compare" statement. Norway is relatively open in its treatment of money and government, witness their handling of taxes. Alternatively, the…

I particularly like the pie calculation as it addresses more variables more effectively. I would add that the agreement used (probably an LLC or Limited Partnership rather than a c…

Amen.

I am not at all sure that those big decisions should be made by consensus, however.I once worked on a deal where the founder was very experienced in group dynamics and he insisted …

Many of the tricks used to lower taxes on the wealthy are available to small and medium sized business owners. We can borrow against unrealized gains. We can distribute income that…

Great point. In contrast look at what we generate in this country - http://www.zerohedge.com/article/matt-taibbi-asks-why-fed-ga...

Exactly. Thanks.

For smaller amounts, how about setting up an account in the US and getting a debit card for the payee? Pay into the local account. They use the debit card.

Remember, if you set up an account outside of the US, and its value equals or exceeds $10,000 for even a moment during any year, you have to report it. Not saying you shouldn't do …

As is evidenced by this and the GE story some weeks ago, it is clear that good (as in thoughtful, experienced, and very legal) guidance in taxes is almost always worth the cost--IF…

As an accountant and tax lawyer who works 100% remotely with clients, I'd like to chime in. I definitely think that there is a place for a service that can help people find account…

As a service provider, if I could "buy" a satisfied customer (That means repeat business for the next, say, ten years.) and the "cost" of that customer is 50% off my first job, I'd…

Two books of the same name came onto the market within a month of one another. http://erikahayesjames.com/book/ and http://www.executivehealthwealth.com/leading.html. As I understa…

The ease with which one can "pierce the veil" varies dramatically from state to state. Another reason to be careful about your choice of location for corporate headquarters, employ…

I wholeheartedly agree. Really good point! Wait to swing at that ball until it has almost hit the floor--wait, hold, wait, hold, and wait some more. And other than the fact that th…

From a tax perspective, locating the US office in a tax free jurisdiction is most wise. These states would include Washington, Nevada, Wyoming, Texas, Florida, and (sort of) New Ha…

It would help to read this Wikipedia article to better understand this post. The post is based on court filings addressing personal jurisdiction in an internet case. It seems Calif…

It can, actually, get much worse. While cross examining the other side, the opposition attorney can, and often does, state an assumption in the middle of a question that misstates …

Good post!! At the risk of being simplistic, I have long believed that in the world of business there are two types of people -- those who use and enjoy risk and those who are risk…

It might help to take Chris Martneson's Crash Course (www.chrismartenson.com) where he makes it clear that inflation is necessary under the present Federal Reserve system. Although…
