Do not form an Inc (corp tax) and do not work on US soil (US sourced income) then the double tax treaties with your tax residency would likely apply and shift the taxation over to that country.

Good to know and yes that would certainly work on the Maltese side. In general i would not worry about the Maltese side too much except for checking that one fact if you have to stay a certain time (no matter which program) to actually get the certificate. Your solution i would certainly believe...

Yes that was already clear, the issue was if you get a proper tax certificate if you choose e.g. the 15k route and only stay e.g. 1 month AND <183 days in any other country. I know that you can definitly get a tax certificate with those programs but there seem to be special rules concerning...

As for hellhole that is just FUD. The grass is always greener on the other side. Tell me a viable alternative in the EU with all the same pros and no cons. Simple, live in Valletta, Tigne, Sliema but yes regular cities and construction quality planning etc is typical Mediterranean. I wouldnt...

Make sure to get a proper structure setup or your current checked if your account was s**t. It is easy, just use the known advisories. Dont try to save a couple thousand with proper revenue its stupid and get bitten by lousy work of your accountant / tax lawyer. Pay the 5k. Most advisors are...

Got bitten by Sata? Cyprus for low income, Malta for proper money is as easy and solid as it get in Europe with real business activity involved. Lots of FUD. Also for the 5k minimum tax: 1) Easy to get around but you would not get a tax certificate and that is batshit stupid just like most of...

Definitly accept Malta. Just a technical issue.

This. If you have the money (imo you should not think about this under 6 figures anyways) hands down Malta, under 100k Cyprus. Structures are as simple as it gets btw.

I dont get why people choose those eastern countries. On paper they look good at the beginning as they offer low corporate tax but pretty much all are on par with most other countries in terms of income tax. Sure it might be 10% or so below the western ones but life quality, additional expenses...

Some people's posts are as clever as their usernames...

Both business and private.

Paypal used to not add Revolut as a full withdrawal bank account as they did not support direct debit but that has changed.

Paypal accepts Revolut. They have a bug in their system though which probably stems from their compliance problems of only offering you a paypal account on the paypal platform in your country and bank account. If you enter a GB Revolut IBAN (actually ANY GB IBAN) in paypal add bank account /...

In general you do not have to declare any foreign income/assets that you do not remit to Malta as an ordinary Malta non-dom resident + tax resident. For 2018 that will change a bit that there is the 5000 eur minimum tax for "ordinary" non-doms. This does not apply if you use any of their 15-25k...

I think its fair to say that western countries are far far far more criminal than all of those shady countries together. They just do it on a whole other level ;)

You might wanna think about your priorities in life... There are things that make sense and there are things that are just plain stupid and basement nerd neurotic. Also all of these things that go beyond "proof how many days, show tax / residency certificate, no marriage, apartment etc" which...

PS: As for apartments etc even just staying in the same hotel / hotelroom over and over again has been used to declare people tax resident. Again also problem here being that this declares you as not having payed / evaded taxes for the time in question. Even a fuckin closet in an apartment that...

As for real estate: of course you can own it but there are very strict rules as to what you can do with it. It needs to be rented out full time etc pp. It is not to be used at your leisure. You are under no circumstances allowed to live in it, regularly use it whatsoever. Also they will tax you...

Btw not in detail related but recent CFC ruling in one of the strictest jurisdictions in Europe: The German Federal Tax Court Limits German CFC Rules And Anti-Abuse Provisions To Wholly Artificial Arrangements - Tax - European Union Very nice details on what they did for "substance"

They dont need to know / proof s**t. They will simply send you the tax bill with a 14 days payment notice, estimate or right away charge you with tax fraud. YOU have to proof it and they are the ones deciding if your proof is plausible enough. Usually that will also mean you have to pay first...
