    How to get the easiest formal tax residency? My country asks me to be tax resident somewhere

    Yeah, but at personal level, it's best to not rely on tax treaties at all, and only be a tax resident in one place (or zero). It's a pain to get tax treaties enforced, and deal with incompetent bureaucrats in two countries.

    How to get the easiest formal tax residency? My country asks me to be tax resident somewhere

    Italy Im familiar with, and in order to register as an Italian abroad (AIRE registry) you have to go to the Italian embassy in the country you moved to, and have some sort of proof of residence - not proof of tax residence though. And it's a one off thing, you dont have to keep proving your...

    How to get the easiest formal tax residency? My country asks me to be tax resident somewhere

    No, Australia hasn't added a requirement that one needs to be tax resident in some country outside Australia to get out of their tax net. Currently Australia has a few tests including the domicile test, which says that one has to have a permanent abode in some country to no longer be an...

    Left the UK, in Dublin, might not move?

    UK's modified non-dom (called FIG regime) is only 4 years, the Irish one is for life. But during those 4 years in the UK, one can actually remit funds earned abroad to the UK without tax. That's not possible in Ireland - there you can only remit funds earned before you moved to Ireland tax free.

    Left the UK, in Dublin, might not move?

    No, Ireland is very straightforward to leave, and as long as you dont transfer over funds from your business to yourself while being a tax resident in Ireland, taxes will be very reasonable. Note that if you are not an Irish citizen, you are non-domicile in Ireland, meaning you pay zero tax to...

    Personal Word from Fred

    About traditional Banks vs EMIs. My life time record is that I have had 20 bank accounts in 7 countries, about 2/3 EMIs and 1/3 traditional banks. I have had 1 account closed down and that was a traditional bank in the UAE. And another one was a UK traditional bank (TSB) where I got this...

    Personal Word from Fred

    I have a friend living in Argentina who opened an account with Mercury for a US LLC two weeks ago. Took 24 hours. EMIs have gotten a little bit more tricky with the address for US LLC owned by non-US residents, but it's still totally doable. There are still tons of EMIs across the world that...

    Does UAE classify foreign companies as local Taxable residents?

    Moving 6 figures from US LLC to EU

    Ok, legally you are liable to pay tax to Italy when you earn it in your US LLC, even if you just keep it there and dont send it anywhere. You may get away with it though, as despite clauses of bilateral reporting exist, in practice US banks and authorities dont report much to foreign countries...

    What countries make the most sense Tax Wise for my situaton?

    Got more info on this? Which countries have changed, and how exactly? Of the countries I follow more closely, i.e. the Nordics, UK/Ireland and Italy, Im only aware of Italy making recent changes to tax residency rules (besides Norway making the exit tax stricter). Since 2024, Italy has...

    Tax resident of nowhere while staying in EU?

    No, only had girlfriends in the baltics, never dealt with their legal systems. So probably optimised my experience that way. But the three countries are quite different, have you been in court in Estonia, how was that/what happened?
