The Shareware Principle Extended to Consulting Offering this material on disk through shareware distribution channels is an experiment. The principle of "try before you buy" computer shareware is now well established, and the author is now offering a test of "try before you buy" consulting services. Normally the author works with a client's own lawyers and accountants, advising them on the comparative advantages and legal structures available in the various tax havens, while the domestic professionals then relate that knowledge to the tax laws of the particular client's country of citizenship and/or residence. The author's fees for such consultations are normally $250 per hour plus travel expenses. You now have the opportunity to study the basic structure of that advice, and determine if you can use it in your personal financial situation. There is no set fee for the use of this program, and the author leaves it to the individual user to determine how much use he has derived from it. If you read it and enjoy it as a book, but have no particular use for the information except as information, then a price similar to that you would have paid for a book would be appropriate -- say $25. (The author's books on tax havens sell for as much as $125.) If you are using this program as a substitute for personal consultations, then a substantially larger fee is requested -- a minimum of $250 would be appropriate.

It is understood that some readers of this type of information may prefer to leave no trail by sending a money order, or remain anonymous even to the author by sending a money order or cash. That is perfectly acceptable. Others may prefer to maintain proof of payment in order to take a tax deduction for tax or investment information.
