Thank you, I will wait for some news, hope they are good! :) If anyone else has some advice please let me know! Thank you!

Thank you. Does the UK have a corporate income tax of 19% ? Do you mean like using a UK LLP or by being a UK non-dom resident? With UK LLP the problem would be the same since I would need residency in a country with a tax treaty with the US. I was trying to look at a 0 tax solution if...

Hello, I am an EU citizen and resident. I have an app served through App Store and Play Store generating around $4.5M per year considering both advertising revenue and subscription revenue paid directly by Apple and Google. Our digital business has very high margins in the order of 80-90% and...

This may be a problem. UAE was a good fit because you can spend 1 day every 6 months with a lot of flexibility, while with Cyprus or Georgia the are more strict rules. In order to make the Georgia option work as 0 % do you need to be a tax resident in Georgia right? And with that, you cannot...

I checked and with a UAE company, Adsense applies the 30% WTH since there is no tax treaty between USA and UAE. Even if you use a US LLC you have to put it as a disregarded entity on AdSense tax-info form and then they ask what is the residential address of the person behind the LLC and if you...

Hello, I studied the US LLC setup with UAE residency but Adsense will apply the withholding tax, unfortunately. When you complete the tax form on the AdSense dashboard you have to enter the LLC as a disregarded entity and then they ask your residence when you input UAE they said there is no tax...

Hi guys, I read this article: Non-US Entrepreneurs: You Can Sell Products into the US without Paying US Tax ”“ US Tax Services Apparently, you could operate through a US LLC being a resident of UAE for example and you should not own any taxes to the US even if you are being paid by Google US LLC...

Yeah there are asking for tax information but I do not think that it is the Google LLC US entity that will pay you, but I really do not know if they will apply the 30% cut on US revenue even if they pay you with their Ireland subsidiary. I can't PM you either. I left you my contact on your...

@krowxela I read about this and it can be an issue with networks like AppLovin. Admob is not an issue since in UAE you will be paid by Google Ireland Ltd, not the US entity, I read it in their terms and conditions by setting the billing country as UAE: Google AdSense - Terms and Conditions The...

@Asterion I am the owner of half the company so I think this will trigger CFC regulations? What you are meaning is having a UAE company and living in the UK as a non-dom? The problem is that I am a major shareholder of the company.

Thank you! I am not very much oriented to Islamic jurisdictions since as a western I see them very far from my culture and thus I would not like to take up residence there. I know for example in UAE you can come back 1 day every 6 months but if this rule changes in the future it may be an issue...

We already using an ad mediation system, Google revenue is half our total revenue but it is still a consistent chunk + in order to handle Google Play subscriptions we still require to work with Google since it collects the payments. I read your recent setup and seems quite good. If no better...

Hi, @JimBeam would you mind reaching out in PM to discuss it further? Do you think it is better to incorporate in Dubai instead of US LLC at this point? Thanks!

Hello, I have the exact same problem. I have an app that generates revenue from Google (Admob), Apple and other US-based ad-networks like AppLovin etc. in the magnitude of $2.5M per year. I wanted to setup a US LLC but what scares me is that IRS may interpret it as US-based income. What I do...

As of my understanding, you deal with the branch where your company has been incorporated. For example with an EU entity you receive payments by Google Ireland, for a US-entity you will be automatically assigned to Google USA LLC I think, unfortunately.

Hi! Yeah, that's the question I wanted to address but I am not sure. I know LLC are tax-transparent entities, the problem is that I do not really know how this cannot be seen as a US-sourced income by the IRS. If someone has insights about this please let us know. If there is a better setup for...

Hello, unfortunately not since I am not sure if we will receive payments from US companies like Google LLC and Apple Inc this would be an issue and considered as US-based source income. I am free for a private talk to exchange some ideas if you want to reach me out in DM. If someone else has...

Hello, first of all I want to say thanks to this awesome community, there is lot of value in the posts I have read on those forums. I am here to ask advice for which is the best and cheapest jurisdiction to setup a company that publish app to Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We are based...
