I know this is the case in both Canada and UK.

The method is.. well .. free for you to choose, ie. an offshore can engage you in "meaningful employment" *s* and you can send em a bill and they pay you. This is all declared to the tax authorities in you country of citizenship.
To avoid Australian company tax it's necessary to use nominee shareholders and directors so that you are not in "control" of the company. And yes -- any money paid to an Australian resident is subject to Australian income tax.

To be "really" offshore, (and pay not one dime) you would have to live out of your country for more than X months a year. In this instance, you pay no taxes in either the offshore or your country of citizenship.
Yep
