    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    PS: for me it helped that i already had a company incorporated a couple weeks earlier (takes like 1-2 weeks) and was able to give the officer that incorporation certificate to proof i have indeed a legit interest to reside on Malta. A year+ rental contract would also do the job. I did not have...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    Economic self sufficiency has nothing to do with taxes really. This is just that you are allowed to have your residency on Malta. While you have freedom on movement in the EU there are still rules individual to each country. In Malta that is you need to provide a corresponding job, degree...

    Maltese Limited EU SEPA account

    doubt that they will allow crypto, think they allow non EU too, probably not US. you will have to sign 10x that you do not have any connections to the US

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    If you have at least the minimum treshhold in profits that you need for any of those moves then MT is much cheaper than CY. 10k is a good ballpark figure for MT active + GIB/CY holding + accounting, two virtual offices, etc unless you have insane accounting requirements.

    Ah thanks. Could you get me in contact with yours or would you just say "use your accountant"?

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    Btw planning for more than 5 years with any EU setup is unrealistic. Expect things to change 2025 on. Of course MT & Co will try to uphold similar structures for longer but it will likely be a lot harder. The time is ticking for these budget setups that you can pull off so easily with so little...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    Yeah but not in the foreign holding as you stated too earlier i think. It is clear to most i think that you absolutely need a foreign holding. The whole thing does not make sense without one (income tax wise) anyways.

    As for the CFC concerns on the holding also search for how dividends work in Maltese law - Most Efficient European Tax Structures for Company Owners in 2020 | Jean Galea Along with the dividend comes a tax credit on the 35% which is also the max tax rate in general.

    @BlueMist great you simply applied online? as for CIM: nothing, havent had any issues with them apart from fees, dumb me did not need the corporate accoun with them back then and now they dont open accounts for MT companies anymore unless you are an old client (they accepted me and are...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    The direct 5% instead of waiting for tax refund scheme only works with two maltese companies though or something like that. It does not work with Maltese active ltd + foreign holding. (I was told)

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    yes PE is what Germany usually attacks and its so broad what "could" be a PE that you are fucked either way. PS: still need to check with the lawyers when back in MLA for written statement but as for the CFC rules in Malta and the classic Malta LTD + Gib/Cyp/etc Holding. Someone also pointed...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    as for the cfc rules its true nobody will really look at them until the point you are getting deep audited / the bored tax agent assigned to you looks at it a bit deeper and throws the book at you. also in germany nobody really does this unless talking very very high networth and larger company...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    CFC and how full imputation / tax credits / refund system / "foreign sourced" income / remittance works there are a few EU jurisdictions that are just fine for the holding of the maltese ltd

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    You will have to ask a tax lawyer. Why a Seychelles IBC? Just makes UBO stuff with banks etc a nightmare. You will need a Maltese LTD either way if you want to do it right and legal. If you are German read up on German tax law. Your buying yourself house will not go so easy.

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    no idea but likely and you will likely not have tax credits from corp tax payments / dividend refunds to offset as you dont have a maltese ltd

    tax solution for small business (30K profit)

    what a bad advice. a simple tax lawyer consulation in the US will cost him more than the taxes he pays at home. establishing a US tax nexus and effectively connected income / connection to the US is the absolut last thing you ever want to do except for very very few very high stakes reasons...

    Interactive broker as personal "bank"

    forum merged my earlier reply: Interactive Brokers just confirmed that the non F account is indeed held / regulated by IB US LLC and its cash (EUR) is covered by SIPC and the F ending accounts are held / regulated by IB UK Ltd and would be subject to FCA / FSCS.
