I was blown away by "Tax Avoidance a Practical Guide for Uk Residents", the authors other title and decided to try this book "The Ultimate Guide to Offshore Tax Havens". The first thing I noticed about this book was its size. This is a big book, letter sized and almost 400 pages long. It sets out to achieve a seemingly impossible task, which is to list and comment on all tax havens on the planet. Whilst I can't be sure if it was successful at achieving this objective, I definitely know that it has covered 99.9% of these tax havens. Many of the havens I have never heard of and talking to my colleagues who specialise in taxation for some of these havens, I found that the information was accurate and up to date. They had never heard of many of the tax havens either, and all the havens they knew (even the secret and little known ones) were all listed. This is an excellent reference book on Tax havens. Highly recommended.

It's hard to find a single resource with all the offshore tax havens listed. This book promised that and delivered more than I expected. Not only did it have all the usual well know stuff but it also surprised me with some hard to find and damn near unknown secret havens.

If you are interested in relocating offshore or doing business, as my husband and I are, you will find this an invaluable guide. My only criticism is that the flags and maps are not in colour. Apart from that this is an excellent book.
