Currently sitting on the beach in Mauritius….
Been here as a family for 3 months, as low tax countries go you can do a lot worse!
3% combined effective tax rate possible with the right structure.
Yes, food an imported goods are expensive (100% duty on cars), wine is very expensive.
Quality of life is good but it is not first world Euro standard, it’s also not Thailand.. A mix of 3rd world ramshackle combined with modern shops abs restaurants all living side by side.
Will we stay… Probably not, the family still want a bit for 1st world living…
Seriously considering a move to︀ South Africa (crazy I k ow when everyone else is leaving)…
There’s a little known︁ tax regime in SA called the International Headquarted Company regime. Essentially you can set up︂ a hold Co with no CFC rules and group profits can be distributed tax free.︃
Whilst SA does have security issues, if you are living in the best areas of︄ Cape Town those issues can be managed. No where else in the world can you︅ get more 1st world ‘bang for buck’ lifestyle than SA right now. But only plan︆ to rent, keep all cash / assets out of SA…
