    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    @devnull update on the current refund situation. backlog is about 1 year so what you do is you file your company tax return for 2018 now but you do not pay until either 1) revenue asks you to pay which means they have processed your filing / claims and you are already in front of the backlog or...

    Opinion requested - freelance - normal wage (no HWNI)

    Careful there, not even as close to as simple as described if you are a western european citizen. Especially UAE can and will be a huge pain in the a*s. Forget about invoices, VAT etc. Most companies tax agencies will flat out deny deduction of them, blacklisting issues etc. Think about sepa...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    Little update: Revolut after a couple tries (they didnt "get" that transferwise uses its own IBANs when sending out money and continured to request statements from those accounts as they showed as incoming funds to the Revolut Business accounts) finished the compliance checks without an issue...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    I did not open up any local MT bank account. After the fuss that BOV made and the timeline (3months+ if you are unlucky) i didnt even bother especially again - setting up shop in Malta the point is 1) to not hold MT bank accounts and 2) its just batshit stupid to hold any kind of money in them...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    All wanted utility bill or something similar, for company accounts incorporation documents, whats the company doing, UBO the usual stuff. All opened up pretty much instantly afterwards including for the Gib holding. One German bank declined, ABN AMRO was like either you got local substance in...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    Because some kids got burned by a shady EMI that people warned against long before? Do your homework first. The whole point of setting up shop in Malta is not to keep money in Maltese banks. And no you don't want to go on holidays in Malta.

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    Absurd is keeping a bank account in Malta. I only keep a fraction of funds in Revolut Business.

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    Ok things are getting interesting. With the recent developments at Revolut + USD + money laundering allegations they (as part of compliance...) now asked me for 3 months of statements from the accounts that i use to transfer in most funds (transferwise which i use for ACH to EUR) as well as a...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    btw transferwise has also been absolut rock solid without any issues. not as nice in terms of interface and certainly not as good business cards etc but mobile app decent and they have started to properly report ACH counterparties, proper exports for whichever month etc pp. one annoying thing...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    simple, keep brokerage IB e.g. that will accept pretty much everything and everyone and just like martin described stash leftover money there. i fully realize that revolut can go both ways in terms of bust or glory but it just works and does so better than -any- other emi/bank that i have ever...

    Malta Company Bank Account EUR SEPA / IBAN

    I got transferwise + revolut business setup very quick. Revolut buisness i needed to go up to the medium level plan to expedite waiting list. The GIB parent company i expedited through support of first company. They let me scale down to the lower tier after 1 year again without issues. Pulled...

    Anyone know Fidor Bank ?

    As Milky Moon said Fidor DE is not a shady EMI with shady owners etc pp. It is a real German licensed bank. Your money is about as safe there as it gets in European banks. Of course the marriage with the French did not work out and we will see what the future holds. Myself i put about 200k...

    Anyone know Fidor Bank ?

    They branched out by now. My experience was with the original German entity (which already catered to most of Europe back then but with the catch that you had to provide a German residence or at least address - dont remember).

    Anyone know Fidor Bank ?

    Fidor DE used to be pretty good and a real insured German bank. However i think they only allow account opening by German residents (although they are supposed to keep you as a client if you move away afterwards). No business activity on private accounts - they will close without warning. Same...

    0% tax residency

    this and in a very strict way when it comes to PT. it definitively is not as simple as having a pseudo director somewhere else.

    0% tax residency

    Any work during your physical presence in Portugal and income derived from that is Portugese sourced income (broadly speaking). If you do remote work does not matter, if you sell stuff online does not matter, if you consult over telephone, remote log etc does not matter - your physical presence...

    0% tax residency

    They will be accepted and they are a requirement. It is just not that simple. You have to obey the rules of your citizenship / original tax country whatever you want to call it too or any other jurisdiction that you spent time in. Has nothing to do with Malta or Georgia. If your citizenship...
