Yeah, I know. I'm aware of that sort of thing.
The problem is, I don't want to become an "international businessman" -
I have neither the resources nor the business case nor the capital for
it. This UK deal is most likely a one-off; I'm not planning on hiring
others in the UK per se, nor am I expecting to hire many others in
non-US countries.
So, I have absolutely zero interest in setting up any offshore holding
companies and/or registered entities in Caribbean tax havens and/or all
that other stuff that people do. I just can't justify it all for one
person, or even a few people. It's simply not worth it. I'm not
Microsoft, and I have no substantial assets to avoid (not evade) taxes
with like large corporations. So, dicking around with this stuff would
be a pointless waste of my time.
I just want to hire a guy in the UK with a minimum of hassle to me, and
especially to him. How freaking hard can this be?
