Last affilate tools update: Date Added: 04/05/10

I get regular email updates telling me her site is updated - last one dated Sept. 10 - yet there is no new content available to promote her with.

Either you're kicking ass without affiliates, riding off your soon-to-be-dwindling-sales, or you need to start thinking about moving to Amherst.

Put some new promo up you lazy bitch.

PS because I'm a decent sort: nothing against YOU personally garce but no need to 'hate' on me without even contacting me. I love everybody - til someone kicks dirt on me. :D

UK is bad because of cost of living/exchange rate.

Im in Australia, that is bad mainly because of government internet censorship which is coming into play and will block a lot of porn

I reckon canada would be ideal but im just guessing.

Canada is beautiful and not too expensive. Only move to Quebec if you love paying tax and tax and more tax.

Work on doubling your earnings so taxes are less of a worry - more flexibility to live where you desire.

Moving somewhere based on taxes, while logical, is penny wise, but pound foolish - that is to say, some get so focused on saving some off their taxes that they end up spending more time and effort than if they'd simply worked their business harder.

Very well put and very correct! I know a guy who wanted solar panels on his house but did not want to pay the small increase in real estate tax which could have resulted, so he spent thousands to buy three trailers to place them on and even more to hook them up to his house but by God, he saved about $20 a year in property tax!

Idiot.

Mexico is already in the shit with internal strife far beyond the ability of its very, very corrupt government to control. The smaller nations near Mexico will suffer from the turmoil in Mexico as well. Indonesia has gone essentially apeshit as it seeks to become the domiant power in the region through the acquisition of nuclear weapons, which is going to screw up most of Southeast Asia and the Pacific nations and we haven't even written of the influence of those nutballs in North Korea who will most likely precipitate anoather "police action" of some kind.

Central Europe is far too easily influenced by the Russians and the Russians are changing their mood lately as often as most people change their socks.

South America is a hotbed of strife due to both the drug cartels and that lunatic Chavez in Venezuela so I am convinced that even if a global economic depression or near collapse occurs, the USA is going to be the best place to be.

That is not what I wrote but you are free to challenge anything that I did write as what I wrote is easily supported with facts. WTF is wrong with you?

Mexico is in the shit, Venezuela is in the shit, there is tons of strife in the Middle East, Central Europe is subject to all sorts of outside influence, in most countries the government can shut you down in seconds with little recourse, so just show me on which points I am so fucking wrong, OK?

CZ is a nice country, but I think you need to check your info. The tax is higher than 15%, and you also need to pay social and health insurance (income taxes). Combined the direct income tax is somewhere around 50%.

I've read on many sites that the income tax is a flat 15%, but I can't post links because I have less than 30 posts.

Can anyone else living in the Czech Republic confirm what Zyber is saying? I know that social and health insurance would go on top but 50% sounds a lot.

Good point. I love France and Italy and would be willing pay the high taxes, it's the buerocracy I couldn't stand. They even have tax on porn don't they? I think that would be too much.

15% flat income tax on your gross salary.

35% in social taxes on your gross salary (paid by employer, but comes out of your pocket).

20% VAT tax on all purchases except for things like water, medicine, books, etc which is 10%.

Corporate tax is 19%.

Cordoba, take a look here

Employee / Income Tax, Social Charges and Health Insurance

Employee/Personal Income Tax

15% - this used to be higher, between 15% and 32%.

The downside is that now to the gross salary ('hruba') first social- and health charges are added (the so-called 'super hruba') and from that 15% is calculated.

Employee Social Security Charges

25% - employer's part,
6.5% - employee's part

Employee Health Insurance Charges

9% - employer's part,
4.5% - employee's part
Just a quick calculation based on the info from that website. I might be wrong :winkwink:
Health + Social: 25% + 6,5% + 9% + 4,5% = 45%
Tax base: 145%
Income tax: 15% * 1.45 = 21.75%
Combined direct income tax: 45% + 21.75% = 66.75%

The trick is that the tax has been split up between the employer and the employee, so the tax looks much lower from the employee's point-of-view than the true cost.

A self-employed person has to pay both the employee, and the employer part.

Another trick is that they call it "health insurance" and not "health tax".

My best advice is to ask a tax advisor to get the accurate info. :)

and when you want to open a company just get a tax accountant or lawyer and let them do the work - a limited requires 200.000 czk deposit (about $10,000) and takes maybe 2 months and a few signatures to set up.

but yeah, winter can get pretty cold

why does the language suck?

No vowels. Or at least they don't like to use them.

Actually the grammer of Czech seems remarkably straightforward, it's just completely different to latin or germanic languages and all the words are unfamiliar..except 'robot', which is a czech word. Also, only 8 million people speak it, so it's practically useless if and when you don't want to live there anymore.

It takes 2 months and a $10,000 deposit to form a corporation? Insanity...

Why do so many adult webmasters live in the Czech Rep. if the tax rate is (effectively) so high?

I may as well go to Spain or somewhere like Croatia with a better climate.

I guess you haven't seen the thread about the two porn producers jailed for a year there.

I was actually considering Bulgaria before I'd seen that. Bulgaria is dirty cheap and the tax rate definately is 15% with no catches.

sobaka 09-15-2010 01:16 PM

I love various Lat Amer countries, particularly pussy there. But every one of them is a shithole for various reasons. Living there as a permanent resident becomes a serious hustle; you need to deal with all kinds of bs every day you don't need to think about in the US. And you have no legal protection. If you have money, you also need to worry about safety, your place being broken into when you are away, all kinds of safety-related bs. So now I love living in the US, live in a state with no state tax, minimize IRS taxes, and just travel to Lat Amer a few weeks at a time strictly as tourist to party.

Plus quality RE is cheaper here. You can get luxury condo in Miami for less than comparable condo anywhere in Lat Amer. And you don't have any bs to deal with.

I also agree that Lat Amer will prob be very unstable for the next few years, with revolutions and other such shit.
