I'd love to see some data on how big a deal this really is, because I would normally assume that by the time you've reached the levels of wealth we're talking about, "tax assistance" is a trivial expense.
I think at this level, tax protection isn't 'hiring a decent accountant' or 'donate $10,000 to charity', but instead is 'moving your base of operations off-shore' and things like that. Things you can do with a ten-million dollar income, but not a half-million.
Yes. And the reason for that is the cost of lawyers to setup and run the structure. Lawyers could actually charge less and open access to more people, but then it wouldn’t be as exclusive.
