Or by being incorporated in, and working in, Holland.
As I understand it, there's no capital gains tax on stock options exercised
by company employees in Holland. (I'm tangentially involved in a bid to set
up a B2B ecommerce outfit that, if it gets its VC together, will be based
in Amsterdam. Income tax is a tad higher than the UK, but you more than make
up for it if you IPO successfully.)
(That's assuming the _other_ start-up I'm involved in doesn't go from being
a shell company and some wild-assed ideas over a pint of beer to being
an IPO rocket. But you all know what the odds on that one are.)
