I pay no taxes.
There are no taxes on foreign generated income here (Colombia).
However I cannot bring over $10k a year through the financial system without being hit with a 3% financial transaction tax.
Fortunately it is easy to legally elude that tax, paying for everything with a foreign-issued card does the trick. And every once in a while a quick shopping weekend abroad with the girlfriend is a good way to bring a new laptop and $9999 x 2 in cash.
