Offshore company formation for internet based business?

Hello, I am a canadian expat now working abroad in the engineering field. I have residency in Indonesia and the UAE. I also have bank accounts in Singapore, Dubai, and Canada. I am an entreprenuer at heart and i would love to start a new venture by setting up a web based business but i need some help and advice. I plan to generate income on a website advertising job postings, contingency recruitment fees for finding people work in my specialized field of engineering and maybe even contracting myself out independantly. I would ideally like to form a offshore IBC or LLC in a country with no tax, Zero required capital investment, one person ie (myself) to be director/shareholder and no requirement of local representation as well as being able to have the freedom of having my documents kepts anywhere in the world. I plan on moving back to Canada in the next year or two, as i am a bit of a nomad at the moment. I have no ties with Canada at the present time therefore i would not be subjected to taxation on worldwide income. But if i start generating income through my planned offshore business when i move back would i then have to fork over some of my earnings to the Canadian gov't? any tips on being able to avoid the taxman without getting into hot water? If anyone can recommend a country and business structure that is best suited for my plans i would really apprieciate it! Thanks Cheers!

Dear Sir You may consider a trading company in Malta. Malta does not have an offshore regime and is not a tax haven, on the other hand, it is an EU Member State and an OECD member, apart from having a very wide double tax treaty network. You could set up a Maltese company and achieve a very low effective tax rate of 5% on your web based business profits. A very low share capital is required. Should you wish any further details at no obligations, please do not hesitate to contact us on info@malta-company.com
