    Is Cyprus earthquake proof?

    Large apartment buildings built after 2004 are safe (Eurocode 8). Old apartment blocks are not (and you don't want to live in these anyway since you are not allowed to throw toilet paper into your toilet due to small drain pipes). Biggest problem are not the buildings but tsunamies. About 10...

    Looks like they are planning to exempt capital gains and dividends in most cases although I'm not sure what the conditions of the participation exemption are: "UAE businesses will be subject to CT on their worldwide income.

    Losses (regardless from which market) can always be offset against profits. But only profits from EU/EEA (+ US for companies) are not taxable. That is explained in the taxmonkey article.

    You are talking about the minimum "base" not the contributions themselves (which are about 33% of that amount for a self employed person). I was referring to the maximum contribution to be paid each month. The max base is 3400 BGN/month x the applicable rate...

    YOu would need to ask an expert about this, theoretically yes, but you need to pay employee/employer social security on that amount (which i think is capped at 945.20 BGN per month). I don't now how often you can change your salary. Only thing I know is that you can pay dividends only once a...

    Former king of Spain to pay his taxes in UAE

    When it comes to taxes, yes. But when it comes to other aspects of sharia law such as credit card debt and drugs not. Imagine someone who doesn't like you slipping you drugs and then alerting authorities.

    Will Cyprus ND make a non-Cyprus company tax liable in Cyprus?

    Another question is whether corporate cryptotrading profits are cosidered taxable by Cyprus tax authorities.

    Trading online in Bulgaria

    Yeah, the problem with Bulgaria is the legal uncertainty and complicated accounting rules with differences for private investors vs. businesses. Seems like most accountants here and even the NRA are not fully aware of these rules, only lawyers. Another problem are CFDs on shares or short...

    Question offshore company for investing in crypto/stock market

    PE and PoEM are in fact CFC rules to determine wether a company is foreign controlled by another company from abroad but they do not apply to a BG natural person owning a company registered abroad. The Bulgarian NRA won't care about the company except for the dividends or salary. Ask your...

    No, bank accounts don't need to be declared by private persons but there's CRS automatic reporting if you tell your bank your residence/address in BG.

    Start a company in France instead of Ireland/Hong Kong?

    Moving the capital abroad tax-free and use it for his relocated business without liquidating it first and triggering CGT. WHT on dividends depends on on DTT between new country of residence and France. Can be as low as 0%. https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/france/corporate/withholding-taxes

    Start a company in France instead of Ireland/Hong Kong?

    While it would be difficult to move the company out of France (you first need to liquidate it which triggers capital gains or dividend taxation even without exit tax applicable in your new residence country) you could maybe keep it in France without operations and use it as a holding with...
