Taxation is usually as per whatever the laws are of your country of residency. If you are domiciled in the US and touring 6/6 to somewhere which has low or no income tax, I think the IRS are going to want to tax your take-home pay. If you pay taxes in the country where you work, at home you'll probably have to declare how much you've earned and how much tax has been deducted. In which case you might end up not having to pay any more income tax (i.e. don't get taxed twice on the same income).
As for the touring lifestyle questions, if you have a young family then to be away from home for 6 weeks is a long haul, even with the convenience of Skype etc. For me, 4/4 is about as much as I can manage before the "wheels start falling off" things at home. If I were single then 8/4 wouldn't be a problem. It's whatever your personal circumstances dictate.
