Based in Cape Town and Dubai, Hugo runs his private tax practice and a joint venture tax emigration / expat business. Hugo’s mission is to assist expats or “WEG”kaners (away Africans as fondly refers to his client base) in all respects. Hugo emigrated his first client in May 1993, two months after the Chris Hani murder and can rightfully claim to be one of the most experienced formal (aka financial) emigration process.
Hugo claims to have introduced the term tax migration to the expat world, and you can find more information by visiting www.taxmigration.com.
