    BVI substance sofware development

    Only if he is not a nominee, but an actual salaried employee. He can be employed in other companies at the same time (multiple jobs), but it's necessary that he gets social benefits, etc.

    BVI substance sofware development

    If it's a solo business, then the substance requirements depend on the owner's place of management. If he lives in Thailand managing BVI - then no problems. If he lives in EU managing BVI - he needs an employee (or maybe even two) in BVI. If it's a business with a few people...

    Ready-made investment portfolio?

    We don't, but they get a lot of monthly visitors and Trustpilot complaints are more about platform & customer service rather than portfolio performance Again, it's personal choice, it's better to understand their choices first It would be great to hear @Martin Everson or @Marzio opinion, if...

    Ready-made investment portfolio?

    Their fees are not that attractive. It's not about that. It's more about the portfolio that they advise on - Classic 100/90/80/70/60/50, seems like they are well-diversified and with risk factors. Although underperforms SP500, it's less volatile, and allows you to be present in many markets.

    If a small/medium company decides to start long-term investing into stocks/ETFs/..., with 0 knowledge, what to recommend to them - hiring a financial advisor? corporate wealth management through a bank (if even exists)? external party / consultants?

    Trust Taxation

    Trust Taxation

    A proper trust structure usually requires a holding company. Let's say it is in Singapore, where the tax is 17%. Now, you don't own it, the trust owns it, and they are based in let's say Liechtenstein, where the tax is 12.5%. The Singaporean company does nothing but receives dividends from...

    Malta Non Dom + Employees

    There is a lot on the forum about Maltese non-dom company + Maltese resident shareholder, which gets you to have 5% total tax. What if the shareholder is non-resident, but there are Maltese employees, is it still 5% total tax? Found this graph to understand better, does it mean that 2 Maltese...

    Tax code of Estonia

    Does it work only if the dividends pass through the Estonian company? ...or can for example Maltese company send dividends straight to the Estonian resident shareholder at 5%? No personal tax.

    Foreign PE - which laws apply?

    That does makes sense. What about CFC rules once the company starts to grow? Let's say the non-dom SG company (taxed at 5%) opens a branch in France (taxed at 25%). Both have established management in respective countries. Do the French CFC rules apply to the SG company? The difference in...

    Foreign PE - which laws apply?

    Say I have a holding company in Singapore. I decide to put management in Malta and declare SG as Maltese tax resident. Reason I did that - I want Maltese taxation and Singaporean asset protection. Now, my Singaporean company is getting sued. Do SG company laws (like the asset protection...

    BVI - "Pure Equity Holding Entity" Type

    Saw this "pure equity holding entity" mentioned in another thread. Upon reading, it's a BVI company that would be subject to much less economic substance requirements. More from Harneys and Mourant reports: Then: It looks like a registered agent + maybe part-time accountant (just to send...

    Singapore and Estonia, a good or a bad mix, let's dive in.

    I obviously made a typo, I was talking about *reinvesting profits tax-free into startup*, even made a quote on it. Still happy to be proven wrong - the partnership setup would require that another *person* holds controlling stake in the SG entity. Otherwise, no matter how many different...

    Transfer EE to holding - huge bill & tax?

    Yes I believe it was almost a year ago, we changed some structures and might proceed now finally... The redomiciliation wouldn't fit here, as the Estonian company has suppliers who would be against that. The goal is to just change the ownership (to a holding) without them knowing, and without...

    Singapore and Estonia, a good or a bad mix, let's dive in.

    I might be wrong, but I don't see how a partnership can solve the issue of reinvesting dividends tax-free here. Even if you set up an LP that is 20% Singaporean company and 80% Estonian company. The Estonian OU still belongs to you 100%. In the eyes of an auditor, you still own 100% of the...

    Transfer EE to holding - huge bill & tax?

    Estonia is going to be an intermediary holding company. Subsidiaries then distribute through it to the final holding. Probably CH is not the best option. Maybe HU / non-dom MT setup / CY / etc. There is quite a few threads on SG + EE partnership, and then MT + EE, so I think ideas are already...

    Transfer EE to holding - huge bill & tax?

    For a long time now, we were thinking of putting our operating Estonian company under a holding. The holding would probably be in CH (for better banking), with PE, and all that. However, recently a friend of ours tried to do the same with his NL company, and he faced a huge bill. It was mainly...

    Do we really need a trust for asset protection ?

    Can this be expanded a bit more, doesn't sit with me quite right. In case you own 100% of a company, and s**t hits the fan, someone sues you on a personal side. But then, your son can have warrants to buy all your shares, immediately. If a court sees that this "transfer of shares" was done...
