Price Increase for St. Kitts & Nevis Economic Citizenship
From Mark Nestmann, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Several weeks ago, I wrote here that a company promoting economic citizenship in the Federation of St. Kitts & Nevis had informed prospective clients that the cost of citizenship would increase by a minimum of $65,000 on September 1.
That supposed deadline came and went without incident, but effective October 14, the government has imposed a minimum $50,000 price increase. There are still two ways to obtain economic citizenship. The most practical strategy is to make a direct contribution...

Is Expatriation for You'
From Mark Nestmann, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I just completed a major update of my report The Billionaire’s Loophole. This is my most comprehensive report on the subject of expatriation from a U.S. tax perspective. “Expatriation” in this context refers to a permanent severing of your responsibility to pay tax to the United States on your non-U.S. income.
For citizens of all countries except for the United States and Eritrea, “expatriation” requires only that you leave that country for an extended period of...

USA to Non-Resident Citizens: ?Pay Up, or Face the Consequences' (Part II)
From Mark Nestmann, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Approximately seven million U.S. citizens live overseas. And while most of them don’t realize it, they’re subject to the same U.S. tax and reporting obligations as any other U.S. citizen.
In Part I of this article, I described how the U.S. government has embarked upon a massive effort to force non-resident U.S. citizens to comply with their U.S. tax obligations.
Nothing summarizes this effort more succinctly than a message I received yesterday from Panama. Apparently using a...

From Mark Nestmann, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Recently, I released the fourth edition of my book, The Lifeboat Strategy. You can buy it online from the nestmann.com bookstore by following this link.
However, if you try to buy the book anywhere else, you may be told that it’s “out of stock” or “not available.” That’s not true, and I’m trying to find out why.
If you want to order the book from a bookstore or another Web site, you’ll need to search by the book’s ISBN, which is...

USA to Non-Resident Citizens: ?Pay Up, or Face the Consequences' (Part I)
From Mark Nestmann, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Are you one of the seven million U.S. citizens or green card holders living abroad' If you are, the IRS has a simple message: We’re looking for YOU.
Congress, the U.S. Treasury, and the IRS are moving forward on several fronts to identify millions of foreign residents it believes are subject to U.S. tax and reporting obligations, but are not complying with them. You see, the United States is the only major country that imposes the same tax and reporting obligations on its non-resident...

Austria Restricts Gold Purchases'NOT
From Mark Nestmann, 7 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
An article posted a few days ago on commodityonline.com made a startling claim: the Austrian government had imposed restrictions on gold purchases.
According to the article (posted here), individuals “will be restricted to purchase only 15,000 Euros worth of gold at a time, making gold an officially ‘restricted’ commodity.” With a gold price at EUR 1190/ounce, this policy would limit investors to purchase only about 12.6 ounces of gold at a time.
If the story were true,...

Civil Forfeiture: The War on Your Wealth

“A man’s home may be his castle, but that does not keep the government from taking it.”
–U.S. v. Hendler
More than two centuries ago, when the United States first became a country, customs duties on goods entering through the nation’s ports were a primary source of revenue. Naturally, shipowners didn’t want to pay the duties. But if they didn’t pay, customs officials could confiscate their ship and all of its cargo.
Until the mid-1980s, revenues from...

We're Becoming Mainstream!
From Mark Nestmann, 8 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The event I’m about to describe occurred a few nights ago in a bar in Phoenix, Arizona, Arizona. There’s nothing special about the bar, although it’s convenient to I-10.
As I was getting a refill of the house Malbec, I overheard snatches of a conversation on my right. Two men were discussing the price of gold, how much higher the price would go, and if they should purchase mining shares instead of bullion. Further down, a man was excitedly explaining to his female companion...

9/11?Ten Years Later
From Mark Nestmann, 8 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
By P.T. Freeman
The morning of 9/11/2001 found me in Roseau, the capital of the Commonwealth of Dominica. I happened to be staying at the Fort Young Hotel on that day.
On my way to the business centre to check my emails, a clerk said: “The World Trade Center in New York is on fire.” I immediately sat at the computer and Yahoo! News was reporting that two aircraft struck the World Trade Center. I immediately returned to my room and telephoned some members of my family to see where...
