When planning your business and investments, aim to maximize the after-tax result.

Here are a few tips how to do so without breaking any laws:

• Plan in advance
•  Consult experts in each country
•  Consider the short term and the long term
• Consider everything - entities, transactions, people
• Don‘t forget any taxes - inheritance/estate tax, VAT/sales tax, withholding taxes.
• Consider each asset separately
• In business, don‘t forget your invisible assets, namely intellectual property such as technology,
brand names, goodwill
• Have an up-to-date will

Most important, confide in your advisors. If you can‘t, change them.
