Too general to be useful.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tax Haven Guide Book (Paperback)
This book is not worth the price. You can get the same information by visiting a few web sites. This book is very general and the few examples it gives are superficial.The book also has a number of annoying features, such as a gimmicky attempt to present the material as a conversation with a fictional "Maria." There are numerous historical stories that are included for no other reason than to fill space it seems. The author also wastes space on his personal political views, digressing for pages at a time on why governments should reduce taxes. (Of course taxes should be reduced, but I didn't buy the book to hear yet another case for tax reduction.) The book also is very thin on references. The author lists the issues that should be researched, but he doesn't give any sources to consult. Basically you come out of the book with the message of "find a good offshore advisor." Also, don't buy this book if you want any information about tax implications of going offshore. The author hardly mentions taxes, and when he does, it is to say that he intentionally didn't mention them because there are other books on the subject. Well, save your money and buy those other books instead of this one.

Excellent overview of offshores,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tax Haven Guide Book (Paperback)
I recommend this book. In my opinion, it gives a good overview of what, why and how of offshores. It doesn't go into too much detail, presumably because every case is different, but it gives enough for you to start somewhere and to know how to go on. It's also easy and entertaining to read, with real-life examples. It does feel a bit short, though.

Lots of Detail-No Legalese,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tax Haven Guide Book (Paperback)
I thought it was a really good review of exactly how to set yourself up offshore. The other offshore books that I have read do not reveal much regarding how it all works. This book walks you through the entire process. Also liked the author's style of writing. It was easy to read and entertaining in its story-like format. I would recommend it highly.
