- 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. Checks should be made payable to

- 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.
