Topic: South Africa
Starting a business
I am thinking about starting a business. I am a student and as such don't have much money laying around for all the advice. I think my business idea would be highly profitable and would like some advice on incorporating it offshore or onshore. I will probably make a few million ZAR a year which will then rise, if I am right about my idea.:-) With the new tax-avoidance law it doesn't look good to start offshore. At the beginning of the business's life, it will be just me, where I will then later expand in terms of HR. The business will mostly generate income worldwide, not just from South Africa.

Is their tax efficient (tax avoidance - the legal way of avoiding paying too much tax) options for starting my business offshore? (I am a South African citizen, South Africa is my place of residence).
Are their options that are tax efficient to starting a business offshore?
Will it be possible to remain in RSA and run the business?

Any opinions, websites, books, etc and advice will be welcomed.  IsOffshorePossible
