Canada – A good place for Transnational Trusts.

September 28, 2012 By Steven Halls

August 7, 2015 update. Another article by Greg McNally, in Internationalman.com, says that Barbados or Turks and Caicos are good places for a subsidiary corporation to be set up. Profits are taxed at the low rate to Barbados, and dividends paid to the parent corporation are tax-free. That seems good and easy. http://www.internationalman.com/articles/the-best-jurisdictions-for-canadians

Sept 28, 2012 An article today from Internationalman.com, says that Canada had a favorable Supreme Court of Canada decision, saying a Trust fund set up with an out-of-country trust administrator, (for instance in London, Singapore or Hong Kong), would not be subject to Canadian tax. It must only accept assets from non-resident Canadians. I’m a resident Canadian, so I couldn’t put money directly into a Trust tax-free. But should I ever become non-resident, or have money sources developed in the future from international sources, it could be handy.

Maligne Lake and Sangudo Bridge

September 15, 2012 By Steven Halls



These are the two highlights of my flight to the mountains today. Silly me. I went to get pictures of Rochfort Bridge, but when I got to Sangudo Alberta, and saw this bridge, I took pictures of it, then flew away, not realizing that the real Rochfort Bridge was just a few miles down the road.

Clavinova CVP-409 vs CVP-509 vs CVP-609

September 8, 2012 By Steven Halls

Sept 8, 2012. I own these digital pianos, the Clavinova CVP-409 and Clavinova CVP-509.

This post is for people searching for more info about them. I loved the CVP-409 so much, that when I needed another, I went to the store and bought the newest model, (at the time) the CVP-509. Only later have I discovered some differences.

Fascinating conspiracy theory writings.

August 20, 2012 By Steven Halls

Occasionally I find writings on the internet with amazing entertaining content. Computer algorithms could automatically label me as a dangerous thinker, even though I have no reason to believe any of this. But for humans and my friends, I say, honestly, I don’t have time to even read every word, let alone critically analyze any of it. But it sure is fun reading.

– 9/11 and gold, money and power.

And this joke: Am I in the right book store?
