International water-dwelling house boats, and the taxes they have to pay
have lived on international waters. still obligated pay income tax home country though worked , lived on ship.
right in saying government cannot drive , "hey -- where's our money". however, if working landbased employer, or making purchases on land, government can start asking questions. example, can't claim make $0 in income (thus paying no taxes) , submit mortgage payment, or make charges on credit card raise red flag government "living above means". it's same way catch people make money illegal acts. can't make $0 buy new lexus.
have number of miles offshore in international waters. if planning on parking boat out @ seas each night, , entering jurisdiction when it's time go work every morning, not going work. have go through customs & immigration each time return country.
in theory, yes youo live in international waters , deke out of paying taxes. illegal, if aren't making money irs/cra won't care. however, not advise this. give right rights -- in canada, goodbye universal health care, in canada , goodbye pension.
remember when pay tax, money comes in form of education, health care, democratic process, roads, airports, schools, law enforcement, etc. if don't want pay tax, move country doesn't have tax -- promise you not care quality of life.
i know owner of houseboat not have pay property taxes, marinas pay these, income , other similar taxes, if live in international waters. pay taxes when live in international waters? thank you.
