It's the leading banking center in the Euro zone, with 143 banks that manage assets of around 800 billion dollars.Pros: In Luxembourg, disclosure of professional secrecy may be punished with imprisonment. Asides from that, many international corporations choose Luxembourg as location for their headquarters and logistics centers, due to low taxes and excellent European location.Cons: Tax exemptions on intellectual property rights may come up to 80% in Luxembourg, which is why many companies choose to manage their IP rights from here. However, it's important to note that the tax exemption applies only to intellectual property rights instituted after December 31 2007.(4.) Cayman Islands: Assets of 1.4 trillion dollars are managed through the banks in this country right now. Being a British territory, which has 200 banks and more than 95,000 companies registered, the Cayman Islands is the world leader in hosting investment funds and the second country in the world where captive insurance companies are registered (designed to ensure the assets of a parent company having another object of activity).

And Singapore does not waive these rules, in spite of pressure from foreign governments.Cons: Singapore is not a country used by wealthy individuals seeking important tax benefits, as most countries from this region offer a relaxed tax regime.(6.) Channel Islands:Located between England and France, the Channel Islands host hundreds of international corporate subsidiaries.The Channel Islands consist of two British Crown dependencies:

The Bailiwick of Jersey, consisting of Jersey

The Bailiwick of Guernsey, consisting of three separate jurisdictions: Guernsey, Alderney and Sark

Crown dependencies are not part of the United Kingdom, but are instead self-governing territories.There is no inheritance tax, capital gains tax or standard corporate tax. This has made Jersey a popular tax haven, and the island now houses $5 billion worth of assets per square mile. Maybe you should add the Channel Islands to your list when you look for cheap places to retire.(7.) Isle of Man: The Isle of Man is considered somewhat of a financial center for low taxes.
