Seychelles has no accounting requirements. You don't even need to bother with a 'loan'. Just transfer the money and then stop paying the yearly fees to allow the company to die naturally.

I used OCI to re-domicile my company and setup a foundation. Pat, the main guy, as mentioned will give you lots of info and spend as much time as need on the phone to explain everything. After you move ahead with the process though you wont really hear from him again. He's still in the loop but...

If used correctly it can seperate you from company. Basically it is what it sounds like. You nominate someone else to be the director and/or shareholder. You would not be listed on the incorporation documents or any public registry. The director you nominate will be the one signing any contracts...

The risk is the availability of high leverage with forex trading. You can easily owe more than you have. Often you may get a margin call to either top up your positions with more cash or have a sell enforced. But high volatility and high leverage can see you blow straight past this leaving you...

There's no telling what will happen in the future. I gave up trying to predict such changes a long time ago. Tax enforcement is a constant ongoing battle and changes are being made every year. All we can do is work with what is currently available and adapt as necessary.

Your best option is going to be to speak to a Romanian professional (accountant or tax lawyer). If Romania doesn't have CFC laws there may be absolutely no problem taking the money out directly. Don't overcomplicate things if you don't have to. If that professional indicates you may have...

That is the information I was provided by my registered agent. I don't have personal experience going through it.

I think I missed something here? What did I claim or could help with?

I guess it's the same yes. That's all they do really - introduce.

Not being a resident anywhere is not a smart move. On the surface it may seem like it but in reality you can open yourself up to claims from a lot of jurisdictions without any proof to counter. Most likely if you are legally a resident of nowhere, you are actually a resident of your home country...

Why are you worried about getting in trouble for your offshore company? There's nothing illegal about owning or operating a company in Seychelles unless you've been hiding it, not paying tax, illegal operations etc over those past 5 years. Getting the money out legally, or quietly, will depend...

The way I understood it, is that it's a one off fee per year. 10% after one month. 50% after 2 months. Struck from the register at 5 months. Year 2 the annual fees would add to the debt, 10% extra a month later, 50% after 2 months and so on for 7 seven years until the company is deemed...

I didn't come across Cyprus in my research either. That's not to say it isn't available or a viable option. It might just be less common. You might be able to contact a larger management company like OCRA for a free consultation or information about this possibility.

Without.

This is information I was given regarding BVI. I couldn't say for other jurisdictions.

I believe they're referring largely to the information in 3.4. Still incurring fees, able to be sued etc. For most I don't think it's really a 'danger' but something to keep in mind. I'm sure the company that gave me this information is a little biased also as they would prefer their clients pay...

I It will depend who you use. I think I paid a local lawyer $1100 for my Panamanian company. Mauritius I'm just interested in for banking. I've had quotes for $500-$1000 to open a bank account there.

I have to disagree here. These protection insurance schemes are designed to make people feel comfortable but often have no merit. The FDIC in the states for example insures up to $250k but if they were ever called upon for this, they do not actually have enough funding to cover it. If this is a...

As an American you have a harder time with taxes than most. As mentioned above definitely consult a local professional but depending on how much you're investing / earning, you may be best suited to follow similar structures that the large American giants such as Apple use. That is keep your...

Belize and Seychelles are both good options. I think you'll be happy no matter which way you go. As for best jurisdiction, I would say it depends on the needs. there's no one size fits all. I would say something like Panama for Personal tax residency, Seychelles for foundations & tied with...
