    Swissquote - Source of funds

    At wich sum does it become a problem if there is no wire to exchange or invoice document? If you got paid for freelance work for example, mid 4 figures. Happened to me in the early days, portfolio grew with these funds and additional EUR to exchange wires. To this day I'm scared if I ever run...

    Crypto Trading tax experience as Portugal resident

    The whole "move to portugal to live tax free" thing has gone viral in the crypto space in recent weeks. But the benefits have been overestimated and some new service providers or resellers for NHR applications are guilty of that. Some seem to even recommend to use a foreign entity to claim tax...

    Cyprus crypto EUR cash out?

    You mention Fidor, so I assume you are considering moving from Germany to Cyprus - great choice. Here is the problem, you current gains might be tax-free already in germany, if held for more than a year without staking and so on (if not, it should be 25% flat tax). Now, if you move to cyprus...

    Cyprus crypto EUR cash out?

    Step 3 - CY bank might ask for source of funds documents, saying it's savings might not be enough Tax implications - up to 35% income tax on the cash out Althought you could think the cash out is realizing capital gains (there is no tax on capital gains in cyprus), lack of crypto regulation is...

    Germany Exit Taxation - December 31st 2021 (EU ATAD Implementation)

    Crazy to think about it. Reminds me of communist east-germany you could not leave. But the minds of a lot of current politicans have been shaped there. So I'm not surprised. :confused:

    Moving to Swiss from Germany?

    You could move to cyprus and do the algo trading within a LTD with 12.5% tax. Althought crypto regulation isn't a thing here (trading private would be up to 35% income tax), once your LTD got banking, it's a very good setup. Regarding exit-tax please check this article - from my understanding...

    Does anyone know if Germany has an exit tax on unrealized crypto gains? Also how to go to Portugal and exit crypto positions

    Exactly, avoid cyprus with unrealized crypto gains. You will pay up to 35% income tax on realization (because CGT does not apply and crypto is not exempt like stocks etc).

    German taxes based on nationality like USA

    If you live in a tax-friendly jurisdiction, you could simply keep profits in companys (maybe a US LLC for personal expenses) I guess. Also, rich germans residing in neighbour countries but with substance in germany will have a foundation or a GmbH + holding GmbH ("vermögensverwaltende GmbH") in...

    Profit on long-held bitcoin position

    I'm in the same position. I think the only 2 options are moving with the unrealized gains or paying the full income tax. I wouldn't trust the government that the income tax would be refunded in case they rule cryptos are excempt like securities. Every cyprus accountant is vague and comes with...

    Quitting day job to trade crypto - need advice as to what path to take from here

    Always the same cyprus advice - what is the reason to pay up to 35% income tax on capital gains in cyprus (because regulation is unclear) while in the UK he would pay 10-20%? More tax, more risk! ns2

    Sales Tax in the United States for ecommerce based in Europe

    You need to check if you got a "nexus" in the US - storing inventory there or dropshippig from a US warehouse could trigger it. Also there seems to be a eceonomic nexus, compareable with VAT thresholds. https://blog.taxjar.com/sales-tax-nexus-definitionhttps://blog.taxjar.com/economic-nexus-laws

    Does anyone know if Germany has an exit tax on unrealized crypto gains? Also how to go to Portugal and exit crypto positions

    I don't want to hijack this thread to rant about this approach again. But it makes NO sense that you arrive with assets in cyprus, i.e. 100,000€ and 2 BTC, and the profits once you sell these BTC (which were bought with taxed money and all taxes on gains are paid upon relocation, 0% with the...

    Does anyone know if Germany has an exit tax on unrealized crypto gains? Also how to go to Portugal and exit crypto positions

    The "Wegzugsbesteuerung" was to be extended in 2020, to apply not only to company shares but also unrealized gains of assets (in the past there was a "Stundung", so no tax, if you moved to EU/EEA). https://www.cmshs-bloggt.de/steuerr...-wegzugsbesteuerung-im-atad-umsetzungsgesetz/Check this...

    Cyprus Limited necessary for professional trading?

    Really bad if that's the case. "Captial gains" on crypto in cyprus would be among the highest WORLDWIDE. So it's literally the worst developed nation to live in if you invest in crypto without a company. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/quick-charts/capital-gains-tax-cgt-rates

    Cyprus Limited necessary for professional trading?

    I appreciate the insights but you are referring to business income within a company. I was talking about private individuals that own cryptos, the same way they could own stocks which they would sell with a profit. In a investment perspective - holding them at least 6 months or even years, not...

    Cyprus Limited necessary for professional trading?

    Is there a way to confirm that a capital gains tax for private individuals is not enforced / existing? With the exception of real estate in Cyprus. I went back and forth with accountants but also in this forum, trying to find an answer - most of the discussions were about the rules within the...

    Crypto trader, hodler - bank acc and relocation

    Hi CyprusLaw, will that change / clarifiy the handling of personal captial gains tax for crypto too? I think this is important for crypto traders and holders when considering moving to cyprus. It's very unclear if you would pay 20% capital gains tax as a non-dom, on multi-year longterm crypto...

    American Online Marketer, D.R. Resident & Setting Up Business In Estonia - HELLO ALL :D

    I don't know about the US stuff, but isn't there a territorial tax system in the Dominican Republic? If so, I assume you could use a UK or CA LLP, a UAE setup, whatever and get the money out of it at 0% tax? Meanwhile you would pay 20% tax in Estonia (taxed on dividend cashout). ns2

    Looking for a crypto-exit strategy

    Yes - you can't predict the crypto market and I would assume, there is a chance you would rather sell and pay tax than hold. It was just a "bonus" information, to understand how germany works. Losses and tax in this case. :) And like I said, you need to pay 25% on outstanding gains if you want...
