Yeah slightly off topic, but one of my lecturers, is a certified lawyer and teaches part time. His mum lives in maylasia. So he has created a maylasian company in his mums name. He is the one employee and all the funds therefore go to his mum in maylasia, and he only has to pay 2% tax on that. Then he recieves "GIFTS" from his mum every month. As you say, if you have the money or the knowledge there are always ways round these types of things.
