This
expanded set of sites dealing with tax
in the USA is the latest addition to the
Lowtax Network of sites, which was launched
in 1999 by an established international
business publisher to fill a perceived
need for an electronic source of information
on offshore and 'low-tax' regimes worldwide.
Now
the Lowtax Network covers more than 70
offshore and onshore countries world-wide,
focusing on legal ways of minimizing tax
for business operations, individuals and
investors.
In
spite of bad timing (1999 was no moment
to start a dotcom!) the first site, www.lowtax.net,
was an immediate hit with visitors and
advertisers alike. Now, seven years later,
there are six sites, attracting more than
100,000 visitors monthly, who clock up
more than 300,000 page views. Our editorial
team of 20 newswriters and journalists
strives every day to maintain a complete,
thorough and accurate service.
Visitors
are divided roughly equally between end-clients
(business-people, investors, expatriates)
and professional service providers (lawyers,
accountants, consultants). This geographically-diverse
audience comes from many walks of life,
but as we know from their e-mails, one
thing they have in common is an appreciation
of the quality of our content.
Except
for the Lowtax Library (see opposite),
our content is free to the user, with
revenue being derived from advertisers
and 'syndication' clients - other web-sites
which buy our content.
Building
the sites and developing good visibility
on search engines required substantial
investment, but the business turned the
corner in 2002, and has been profitable
ever since.
Here

www.usa-federal-state-company-tax.com:
