I work for an accounting firm, so I have access to all manner of references on this subject.  If you have any detailed questions, let me know Sammy.


Yeah Sammy ask him, he is either an accountant or close to it... I am just going off the top of my head giving you figures. ;)

Well, thanks you all. I was just being curious... I can see myself moving to another country some time in the future... I\'m tired of having to give away 50-70% of my paycheck and paying 3 times the price for a car.

So, now the fight\'s between the US and Switzerland. ;)

Well with taxes you get good solid roads, good buildings, etc. etc.  Considering the state that Iran is in right now, I wouldn\'t exactly flaunt no taxes.

Tyrant pays no taxes because his country is oil rich.  Their government pays everything for everyone, and then some.  Am I correct?

Videoholic, the type of no-tax country you described is something entirely different.  What good would it be to save money on taxes if you had to spend the savings on ammunition to defend your property because your nation is in anarchy?

I forgot about their oil.  That makes sense.

Don\'t think it\'s that hard if you find a job there... haven\'t researched it all in details yet. :)

not really Bahrain doesnt have as much oil as its neighbours, most of the money in our economy is generated thru banking. another part is generated by the oil refining industries (oil from neighbouring countries are refined here).

actually our roads, buildings and other infrastructures are on par with those of most "western" countries.

I dunno Sammy have you ever visited here?  What did you think?  Living in a place shouldn\'t be primarily focused on taxes, but how well you think your life would be if you plan on being there for a while.  There are places here that are boring as hell, yet feel very safe.  There are also cities that are rich with culture and social energy, but can be dangerous (black ppl with guns, asians with their kung fu).

Simply put I think the transition from a Euro country to another Euro country would be less "traumatic."  That and Switzerland seems like a cool place. ;)  In the end, choose which you think sports the best women.

PS- I have a good excuse for those ethnic slurs above so don\'t even try it. :D

Yeah, there\'s probably some truth to that. While I don\'t think it would be impossible to adjust (living in the western world already and all ;)), the mentality in the US and Denmark would probably more different than Denmark and Switzerland. The only problem with moving to Switzerland is that I\'d have to speak German. And my English is somewhat better... hehe. Well, it\'s just a matter of taking the time to learn it properly (when in school you think you\'re never gonna find a use for it anyway :laughing: ).

So was the town that got hit by the earthquake more of an exception than the rule?

In other words, was it structurly a really old town compared to most of Iran?
