Hi,
I live and pay tax in the UK. I have non-salary remuneration coming to me from freelance work from other countries. Can anyone recomend a good international bank account that offers visa or mastercard debit, in a jurisdiction that is safe from the savings tax directive or other reporting duty involving the UK? Ideally the account would offer decent interest too, and no tax on this interest! It would also be good if it could be managed online.
Just to be clear, I fully intend to fulfil my duty to the UK tax authorities, and declare this income. I simply have no faith in the UK banking system and its relationship with the UK government, or their Indian call centres. I also intend to travel and emigrate once I have a decent purse.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Sorry was looking for a Reply to your question,myself.
But i would gather I O M to be the best bet , as I've heard they never got swayed to invest foolishly into hedge funds or mortage schemes and scams like america and other reported COUNTRIES....so stay clear of any country that loaned out money backed by NOTHING like usa DOLLAR...and so many others..........in short buy hard GOLD put it offshore and wait a short time to see 1600-4500pr oz

The IoM is not a good destination for a UK citizen unless he no longer is a UK resident or EU resident. Avoid all present UK colonial possessions and the crown dependencies. Singapore is ideal and to a lesser extent Hong Kong. Account opening is easiest in HK though and the accounts have more features but Singapore privacy laws are better.

Mauritius is the right place to do so. The best way is to set up an offshore company, have a bank account opened in the name of the company with credit cards. There is bank secrecy in Mauritius and offshore taxes are between 0 to 3 % depending of the type of offshore company. No tax on dividends, no capital gains.

do NOT use IOM or Guernsey. from july 2011 they will adopt automatic exchange of info with the uk and there will be no choice of opting for witholding tax. Jersey will continue the witholding tax option, but can someone tell me if this is for old ( pre 2005 ) accounts only ?

- some favourable treatments for immigration trust. - 5 year tax free on interest and investment incomes if structured properly.
- pls consult canadian chartered accountants. they can advise the "right" way in order to prevent you from getting into troubles.
