Isn't the solution for this CRS nonsense right here of the forum? In my view no need at all to go for doubtful banks in even more doubtful locations.

If you plan to invest in ETF's than the currency does not matter. If however you plan to keep your savings uninvested then I would not be so sure if EUR/USD is really better than BRL. In that case think maybe about CHF or SGD.

common One lawyer ever summarised it as follows: Under civil law you write in an agreement what you want to agree and you are done. Under common law you have to write what you agree and also what is not covered/not included/not agreed. In summary: civil law agreements tend to be short and...

Being born in a civil law country and having worked in both civil as well as common law countries I can tell you civil law is more precise. Furthermore it is my experience that people familiar with common law find civil law restrictive whereas people familiar with civil law find common law vague.

I'm sure at some point you will have to come up with proof of address documentation.

Hi Sarah, Generally a company is taxed where it is managed. There are exceptions but surely France is no exception on this rule. Since you will control and manage the company from France, you will need to report taxes to the French tax office. You will need to check is 'working from France'...

This looks interesting. maybe worthwhile to revive this. Anyone around here who has had a Seychelles Foundation for a few years and can share some experience?

Well I am not an expert on US taxes but I do know that any US citizen is generally already screwed at birth tax wise. I wouldn't want to be your friend in this construction. If as you indicate this has to be in place for at least 8 years, find a good lawyer and (international) tax consultant to...

Well, storage in HK may not be on top of the list but it certainly beats any location in the EU, US or Australia.

Safer banks as eg?

This seems clear enough: HK IRD states in their CRS exchange info : Some jurisdictions do not issue a TIN, or do not issue a TIN to all residents, and where no TIN has been issued there will be nothing to report unless they use other high integrity numbers with an equivalent level of...

The issue would be banking. As a structure BVI is fine but you end up with lousy banks in Belize or Puerto Rico. Not places to stick a few 100K in. As investment vehicle we are likely talking serious amounts here, either now, or accumulating over time. The 'best' option I could find for BVI is...

What about HK, Gibraltar or Cyprus? For investment holdings they seem to tick several of the boxes with only a few negatives.

I'm looking into the same and after some study have shortlisted Gibraltar, HongKong and Cyprus, and maybe Singapore. Would be interesting to hear get some further views on this.

With that amount as initial deposit you can forget Singapore, Hong Kong and probably Cook as well. You could try Isle of Man or Jersey. Or maybe Switzerland. Anyway all the banks have websites so you can figure out what the minimum requirements are.

It depends a lot how much you want to deposit. The higher the amount, the better the banks. Low amounts in the Caribbean, Isle of Man low to medium. Quality and solid banks in Singapore starting from a few 100k.

If you just want to park some funds you can do Interactive Brokers. Account opening online.

That's an interesting question I have been considering as well. In addition I would then want to mortgage the property in order to reduce taxes.

I guess it depends on what you plan to do with your company. Any trading with the EU is unlikely going to get easier. Trading with non-EU won't get worse, or possibly better. Nobody knows at this point in time. My gut feel however is that this could be an opportunity where the UK will try to...

Malaysia has no CFC rules, just looked it up recently.
