US LLC as digital nomad?

[kristoher]

Hi I wanted some clarification on this setup?


A UK citizen doesn't spend more than 16 days in UK per year (hence automatic non tax resident), and is a perpetual traveller using an EU passport (acquired through ancestry and never lived there) and working online.

If working through a US LLC, is it possible to put UK as residence and hence avoid paying tax on earnings? As US LLC will not tax, and UK's treated of US LLC shouldn't matter as a non tax resident?

Any advice or insights is appreciated

Thank you!

I understand that is is recommended to acquire a new low tax residency instead. But would this be an obligation for this situation?

It would be better. But in case you are sure UK does not have any intention to tax you, you can do this. As a general rule, I would avoid using any address where you previously lived and paid taxes. See @Martin Everson's post

@Martin Everson thank you for your report. How did the HMRC contact you when you were no longer at that address?

My old landlord decided it was a good idea to ask how I was doing over a year later and dropped into conversation that I had a letters from HMRC that arrived half a year ago and should he forward it. That's when drama started 😕. Just wish he told me earlier. This is why they say you should give HMRC a forwarding address after you leave to avoid this type of issue.
