Yeah, I know. I'm aware of that sort of thing. The problem is, I don't want to become an "international businessman" - I have neither the resources nor the business case nor the capital for it. This UK deal is most likely a one-off; I'm not planning on hiring others in the UK per se, nor am I expecting to hire many others in non-US countries. So, I have absolutely zero interest in setting up any offshore holding companies and/or registered entities in Caribbean tax havens and/or all that other stuff that people do. I just can't justify it all for one person, or even a few people. It's simply not worth it. I'm not Microsoft, and I have no substantial assets to avoid (not evade) taxes with like large corporations. So, dicking around with this stuff would be a pointless waste of my time. I just want to hire a guy in the UK with a minimum of hassle to me, and especially to him.
