Latin American Secret

| 3 Comments | No TrackBacks
Some people really get the wrong idea about Uruguay, maybe it's the name, or maybe it's a Latin American stigma but most likely it's just that it's so far away and most people know so little about it. Having been there I can tell you that it's unlike any other place I've seen in South or Central America. It's actually so safe and civilized to be almost boring. Yes, even San Jose, Costa Rica feels more threatening and dangerous than Montevideo.
Recently I've been sounding too much like a cheer leader for Capital Conservator who are based out of Montevideo but that's because I agree with the reason which prompted the staff to move offices from Costa Rica to Uruguay, at great time and expense I might add. Nothing wrong with Costa Rica either by the way, it's a great place for operating a global company from, however the growth of Sports Betting in that jurisdiction and the fact that the USA is too close and just too influential over their government, meant that a better place to do business might be further afield. So I made a trip to investigate and was most impressed with what I saw and learned.

In any case, the word about Uruguay is out now because International Living is promoting this country, it's beauty and it's benefits as a great place to retire abroad at an upcoming seminar on November 28 - 30 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Here's an excerpt from their promotion page, followed by a link.

While Panama has actively promoted itself as an offshore financial haven, Uruguay has maintained an enviable low profile. But the fact is, Uruguay is South America's only low-tax, offshore jurisdiction that is not widely known as an offshore haven.

Uruguay offers a number of financial vehicles for those who are concerned with privacy, anonymity, and favorable tax treatment. At the Live and Prosper in Uruguay seminar, we'll have a tax expert on hand to show you what's available.

After several years of doing business in Uruguay, I can testify that this country is an ideal jurisdiction for managing offshore corporations from.

Indeed, Uruguay is pretty boring. Seems like the locals like it that way though. It keeps them out of the spotlight and known only to the savvy Argentines and Brasileros that make it a hot spot for summer parties and secretive money.

For English speakers interested in UY, there is a forum where all manner of things financial and otherwise are discussed, including emigration at uruguay forum.

Pretty good info on an offshore bank account can be had here.

peace,
abe
