Carlos Barredo Lago

An engineering approach to international decisions

Carlos is an engineer and entrepreneur based in Dubai. He founded Libertax and Qinvia and works across the practical boundaries between mobility, business ownership, company management, banking and tax position.

That background shapes the method: define the facts before selecting a jurisdiction, reduce unnecessary moving parts and test whether the structure can be operated and evidenced in the real world.

Facts first, then structure

The starting point is not a product or a headline tax rate. It is the person, the business, where decisions are made, where value is created, how money moves and which records can support those facts.

Carlos coordinates that overall analysis through Libertax. The objective is not to make every question look simple; it is to separate what is known, what requires local confirmation and what decision remains with the client.

• Map personal residence, family and mobility facts.
• Understand ownership, management and operating substance.
• Treat banking and evidence as part of the design.
• Use jurisdiction-specific professionals where local or regulated work is required.

Professional limits are part of the method

International work crosses legal, tax, immigration, accounting and regulatory boundaries. A coordinated analysis does not replace advice or filings that must be delivered by an appropriately qualified professional in a particular jurisdiction.

Carlos's articles and book provide frameworks and general analysis. They are not a substitute for advice based on a person's complete facts, documents and applicable law.

The Last Tax Haven

Carlos is the author of The Last Tax Haven: A Global Life That Holds Together in the Age of AI. The book develops the idea that durable international freedom depends on coherence, optionality and evidence rather than secrecy.

It connects residence, companies, banking, mobility and documentation within one decision framework, while making clear that the framework does not replace jurisdiction-specific advice.
