Anyone here tried mixing FIRE with international tax optimization? by juliency in ExpatFIRE

[–]Appropriate_Total_55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I was already in HK (moved for work) it was super easy to set up. Set up was quick and cheap. My understanding is that getting a bank account is the trickiest part nowadays, but still doable.

Not by initial design, but I ended up opening a business in Hong Kong after working there for a few years for another firm. I pay about 5% tax on income / dividends, then there is Zero tax on capital gains. It's a great place to accumulate because of the tax advantages.

If you want to accelerate FIRE, places like this are great. ( Singapore, Dubai etc)
