Sure, feel free to get in touch. Can provide turnkey solutions (EE, CY, MT, and others)
A great solution is to have a holding company in Estonia with a branch office in Cyprus:
A great solution is to have a holding company in Estonia with a branch office in Cyprus:
- Profits from the Cyprus branch (PE) can be redistributed tax-free on the Estonian level (think about securities trading with 0% tax, IP Box 2.5%).
- Estonian company itself can keep Estonian trading income at 0% tax (assuming you don't distribute profits directly and reinvest)
- There is no WHT tax on dividends; you either pay 20% on a local level or redistribute foreign permanent establishment profits tax-free.
- There is no WHT on︀ interest on loans from Estonian companies to non-tax residents. The entity owner can give himself︁ a loan with certain structures.
- In Estonia, taking assets out of a permanent establishment is︂ not deemed to be taking out assets or posting them as collateral in connection with︃ financing securities if the assets are brought back, or the collateral is released within a︄ period of 12 months.
- Tax residency doesn't require physical presence, and you're not on an︅ island. You get a tax residence certificate based on whatever DTT automatically issued to you︆ any day you want. Coliving space rental can cost as little as ~100 EUR/month with︇ mail handling, or you can acquire a cheap property for less than 10k.
- For regular︈ trading income, another great structure is to have a fiscal unit in Malta with the︉ EE holding; this way the effective tax is 5%.
Yes, trading income is included.
A 5% tax rate is not available in Malta for everything (e.g., royalties). This is also why it's good to have a structure in Estonia, as you can structure such income streams at 0% tax.

Ok, so trading (physical goods) income would be possible at 0% tax with MT-EE? Can you please PM me with the prices for setup and running costs?
I see people wanting to move to Lugano but don't realize that even if you live in one the lowest tax municipality in Ticino like Porza (assuming 1M income/10M wealth)︀ you'll pay 44,5% tax effectively (income+wealth+SS combined against gross income) without any deductions whatsoever... Definitely︁ not a tax haven unless you choose for the lump sum taxation
It's still better︂ than West EU countries where they tax you at least 55%+ effectively, 20-25% VAT and︃ crazy registration car tax

Lugano may indeed be too expensive unless you go for the lump sum taxation. However if tax isn't the only reason for relocating there it may be worth it.
