Preparing for Financial Differences
While the Cayman Islands is a tax-free oasis for business owners, personal taxes for employees are a separate matter. A tax professional can advise employees how to stay current with their home country’s tax laws. People from pretty much every country except the US can earn their wages in Cayman tax free, however US citizens can earn in the region of the first US$90,000 tax free. You’ll also want to ensure that all your business i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed before relocating to the islands, and that again is where CEC comes in with the helpful answers. Plus CEC can put you in touch with expert tax advisors to advise in such matters.
