So then, how do people get around it?

Really? So, not even in the Country the company is registered?

So a cayman company with a London bank account has access to GBP but doesn't have to pay UK corporate tax?

I've consistently heard that the experience of amex cards in the USA is extremely better than that offered in other territories and countries Thanks this is great info!

???? No Martin that's completely false in every way shape or form. I am asking this question on the offshore forum as I wish to recieve a response that goes into greater detail than the comments that have been posted before, as a result I've given it a post yesterday so I can further my own...

What's the easiest tax haven to get a bank account in then? Vanuatu?

Is it true that tax haven companies/trusts can open bank accounts anywhere? E.g. a company in the Cayman Islands can technically have both a bank account in London and in New York?

Neat, so you need a US Credit History to open up an American Amex, how do you go about building this? Or perhaps copying over the history of your native country's Credit History to help?

How do people get an AmEx card whilst on paper being based in the US? I'm guessing you'd need to have a US bank account in say Wyoming or Nevada, right?

What will they use as a workaround then?

By just comply you mean do appropriate legal tax planning right? :) Thanks again for your responses jafo, I really appreciate them

Hey, how does being a non domiciled person in the UK work?

Yeah, so basically, spend no more than 3 months in any country and don't be in their tax system already

Surely someone would've figured out a rough guide like 'spend at most 37 days in each country, as I've never had one see that as long enough to get taxed'

So the rule only applies to IRS agents? Who then ends up with the power to collect federal taxes then?
