Ask HN: How can I help startups exploit my state's zero income tax?

1 points by reactspa ↗ HN
I live in a U.S. state where there's zero income tax (personal or corporate), and zero state estate tax.

There are already 2 kinds of thriving tax arbitrage businesses here:

1) Official "addresses" for people who live out of their campers all over the country. These businesses consist of a single building with little pigeonhole mailboxes, and each mailbox has a pretend address like it was a home address. (It so happens that this state also has some of the lowest registration fees for camper-trailers in the country). [I suspect there are also plenty of people who live in homes in other states, who own homes here and claim that they live here -- lots of empty homes here.]

2) The headquarters for the trusts of a large proportion of billionaires in the country.

My Ask: what are some ways I could help (say) Silicon Valley startups save taxes given this situation in my state.

(E.g.: I was thinking about how remote workers compute their state taxes. Is there any financial or legal vehicle I could create that could help them save taxes by (say) having an address here?)

You could start a company that contributes to society and pay their employees more to join your company instead
