40% qouta for woman in board of directors - EUSRR - mandatory by June 2026

Care to elaborate on the EU or US offshore paradises you are referring to, that are here to stay for at least the next five years and that don't require you to be a UNWI or running a global, billion dollar company with strong trademark or IP?
That's a disingenuous question and I think you're smart enough to understand why. You're moving the goal post and changing the subject matter by adding conditions that weren't there in the post you responded to. @MrBurns said there are "tax paradises" in the EU and US, without giving restrictions like "stay for at least five years" and "don't require you to be a UNWI [sic]". You added those condition. It's like someone telling you there are nice apples at the fruit market today and then you tell them to show you where the golden apples that never spoil are.

However, although no clear definition of "tax paradise" has been given here, there are still several that probably still fit even with your arbitrarily added conditions, for example Cyprus, Malta, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Estonia, and Latvia. Not all are suitable for everyone in every situation, but the EU is peppered with jurisdictions that can be used for quite aggressive tax planning without being a billionaire.

The US has excellent asset protection laws and a tax code that can often be bent to one's advantage. The LLC is a famous entity type often used in tax planning. The Delaware C Corp can be very attractive. Living off of an income that's purely capital gains is also quite nice in the US. Lower tax than salaried employment.

If we include semi-independent territories of EU and US, we also have for example BVI, Cayman Islands, TCI, Anguilla, Isle of Man, Gibraltar, Curaçao, Saint Barth, Canary Islands, and Puerto Rico, to name a few.
