Cheap setup for low turnover

[trafficjunky]

I've started doing an affiliate marketing apart from my fulltime job time and came to‌ 2-3k EUR extra income monthly, as i have a full time job i don't want‍ to spend them right now(and don't want to get taxed for them right now), rather⁠ accumulate them for couple years while them in crypto.

So i'd like to incorporate a⁤ company, probably somewhere outside EU.
i've spend some time reeding threads and understood that opening⁣ a bank(or even EMI) would be challenging and expensive as hell, but maybe i'm missing⁢ something out.
Is incorporating the company and dealing with the account opening even worth with︀ my 2-3k EUR monthly revenue? if so, which jurisdictions and banks/EMIs you'd recommend?

I'm German︁ citizen, jurisdiction may not be anonymous and i'm planning to lose German personal tax residency(by︂ moving to some other country for a 6+ months) before paying out dividends out of︃ the company

USA LLC in Delaware / Wyoming and EMI is perfect choice

Never thought about US, thanks.
should it be some US EMI also? As i‍ see here in Europe financial institutions are avoiding US citizens and companies

Does US Stripe/Paypal accept business customers with European bank accounts or EMIs like Wise sitting‌ in the EU?

I hope you know that you are‍ allowed to pay back taxes in Germany if you return within 2 years.

Be aware of the German exit⁠ tax (Wegzugsbesteuerung) applicable to dominant shareholders of GmbHs and comparable foreign companies. Since 2022 the⁤ tax will no longer be deferred even if you move within the EU (though the⁣ ECJ may declare that invalid once again, it's still the current law).

It may depend⁢ on whether a LLC is considered a "Kapitalgesellschaft" by the German authorities, but I wouldn't︀ risk it.

There's one more issue on the company level by the way, and that's arguably the‌ bigger issue than your personal "Wegzugsbesteuerung": As you're currently a resident of Germany, the German‍ authorities will probably take the position that management & control of the company is in⁠ Germany. That creates two problems:

1) German authorities will construe a permanent establishment of your⁤ company in Germany, will probably attribute any profits to that establishment, which will make all⁣ profits liable to taxation in Germany (15% KSt + Gewerbesteuer according to the municipality you⁢ live in). And you'll be on the hook for tax evasion if you don't declare︀ it that way.
2) Once you move out of Germany, you'll want to make sure︁ that either management & control or any demonstrably profit-generating activities *remain* in Germany. Otherwise, the︂ *company* will be taxed as if it sold the profit-generating entities ("Entstrickungsbesteuerung").

Thanks for bringing it up.
If i understand correctly i should consider moving︃ to some low/zero personal tax country for a permanent residency? Are there such options in︄ Europe or Asia available? or only caribbean countries?
