Tax Havens in Zug Switzerland and Ireland

The popular news show 60 MINUTES has done an excellent piece on the tax havens being used by large US Corporations to shelter untold amounts of income from US high tax rates. The two places mentioned are Zug, Switzerland and Ireland.  Read the article here.

The tax rates they are paying in these two locations are about 16-18 percent.

Individual entrepreneurs  may be able to do the same (assuming they structure their business correctly) if they have an operating business that sells goods or services and those sales are to international customers. It will not work with respect to some types of income if the foreign corporation put in place has certain types of income call Subpart F income.
