    Trader: Country to set up base and live some months

    You're right, a track record is needed to see if this thing will work in the long term.. For now just crypto trading and just cashing out in crypto. I have an EU passport, so that's the EU solutions are relatively easy for me. Probably you're right about Switzerland too, but at least banking...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    Anyone knows, how are dividends from foreign companies taxed for Cyprus' or Malta residents? E.g. you have a UK company and you receive dividends as a Cyprus' resident.

    BitWala

    I started a BitWala account. They had a long process of KYC with IDnow (photo of my passport again and again, even with flash). Now they're asking my personal tax number, and I haven't even started using them. Am I the only one that I'm sensing trouble if I try to convert crypto to Fiat from...

    Hello, this is a thread to open up a general discussion on where do you think it would be the best place to set up a base, pay a few taxes, have banks, investments etc. when you earn money in trading. By trading, I'm focusing mainly on crypto, but it can include Forex, commodities, low cap...

    Offshore business for crypto trading

    At which trading volume /earnings do you think that forming a company starts to make sense in crypto trading earnings? (Instead of getting them out as an individual in cash or EMIs, or keeping them in your wallet)

    ePayments is gone!

    Do you guys think something similar could happen to TransferWise? I've already had issues with Revolut this year..

    Convert Revolut/Transferwise to Crypto

    Why not sending directly the amount of money to the crypto exchanges? You will get reported? I have done it till now only for smaller amounts of money. I guess the issue would be if you cash in to the EMI some big rewards..

    Did you rent something in Sofia? Did you get all the necessary papers to "unsubscribe" from the tax services of your home or previous country?

    Bulgaria or Cyprus for company and residency?

    Indeed, currently tax resident in Greece, receiving dividends from UK company. There is a double tax treaty between Greece and UK, as there is with Cyprus, saying that you don't have to pay any difference on tax on dividends, or corporation tax. However, it's in the interpretation of the tax...

    Bulgaria or Cyprus for company and residency?

    How does this work? E.g. personal bank accounts in Switzerland or other high-trust countries, will be ok with income from dividends from a Cypriot company? (and for someone who is not resident in their country) Yes, I have to checkout better what happens with the dividend tax-exemption. I've...

    Recommendation Malta or Cyprus?

    Where did you hear this? If you have a UK limited company, you pay Corporation Tax. Do you have any gov.uk link? Or you are talking about dividend tax?

    Revolut business locked account UK (horror story)

    Wow, couldn't imagine a tool like Refinitiv.. Humanity is doomed! Do you think if you make a request for your data by giving your ID in an email, they will actually create a new file on you? ( If you don't exist in their database :p) Last edited: Dec 11, 2019

    Revolut business locked account UK (horror story)

    Indeed one customer sent the money using an EU French company, and another using a Luxembourg payment service (Mangopay). Maybe the mistake is that I have been using Revolut business cards mostly in EU countries, but not in my home (resident) country. True, but I don't have a physical office...

    Revolut business locked account UK (horror story)

    I have an HSBC Business UK account, which is the only business bank account in the UK I know, that can open account to a non-resident director. I hope it's not any tax office from another country that reached them. The odds seem low here. I've read that Revolut implements automatic...

    Revolut business locked account UK (horror story)

    I used to have revenues from apps on the App store (which are now slowing down/closing), and now almost all of the revenue comes for freelance consulting work for multinational companies. The fact that these paying companies are not in the UK are possibly a reason why Revolut closed the account...

    Revolut business locked account UK (horror story)

    Hello, 2 months ago, Revolut business for my UK company started asking proof of income and invoices for my revenue. I've provided all the papers asked. At first, without any warning, they blocked the transfers that I could make from the account. I was able to make transfers only to Revolut...
