Hello, community!
I am Alex, Russian, almost 40 yo, and I am a newby. Hope you'll accept neophyte
Here comes my story and a question.
From one hand I am happily married guy lucky enough to spend honeymoon in Mauritius. We happened to be smart enough to not just waste time in the luxury hotel but rather explore the Island. As of the result we loved the place and keep dreaming of moving there. Just feel like we both need better emotional climate (not even talking about weather )
From the other hand I am occupied in telecom and software industry for almost 20 years (various positions and companies) ended up being in executive positions during last 8 years or so. Currently managing a software company based in Finland being a partial owner. The company is small having an annual turnover around 300K Eur and used to make loses or zero profit (last couple of years). Now it looks like it is about to make profit. My wife is highly skilled economist, expert in investment banking. Thinking of having a maternity leave though
Now comes the question part. Assuming the goal is to stay on the Island for at least couple of years:
- Does it make sense to re-locate my company to Mauritius in order to optimise taxation? I believe people should be doing that once in a while, but I failed to find clues in those topics I browsed so far. Cause existing customers are in Russia and Nordic Europe this will imply some excessive flights costs for me...
- Or is it better to give the company up and apply myself for some "decent Cyber-City job"? The issue is they seems to publish Senior/Executive positions quite seldom: for that type of carriers they are obviously using some consultants.
I believe I am aware of the life costs, primarily thanks to this blog secondary by personal experience, but I am sort of missing the "income" part. So I will highly appreciate any suggestions on which company/consultant to contact!
And yeah, this isn't urgent - some half a year to year is a moving time frame.
Thanks a lot to those patient enough to read this far!
