Disregarded LLC + Portugal NHR/Malta/UK Residency

[hasby2023]

Hi all,
I'd like to form a disregarded Delaware LLC as a non US resident to run an Amazon ACX Business and in the future move my residency to a country that doesn't tax foreign income. However, as far as i know, the dividend/distribution from the LLC would be subject to a withholding tax in the US according to the double-taxation treaty between the US and the destination country. I am interested in moving my residency in a non-dom country

Does anyone know if it possible to achieve a similar set-up and live tax-free?

Thanks!

Choose a country that does not tax foreign income.

Ok such as Portugal NHR. But in this case will the distributions from the LLC be treated as dividends (in this case the WHT will apply, i believe) or like money that i should have already taxed in Portugal (according to the US) and therefore arrive to portugal without any WHT? Thanks!

Director's salary in reasonable amount (below 120-150K per year) will do the job.

maybe better management fees to avoid hassles with payrolls etc?

Yes, so, director will be a contractor to the business (you), and you would pay yourself and put it as "Director's Fee" in the statements. There is even an account for this in accounting I think, don't remember. This is what a tax advisor in US told me.
