    Nomad Setup

    As a rule of thumb, when having a nomadic lifestyle, it is better to have a "base" somewhere in a low tax country and to have a permanent residence with long term rental there or better to own either property and/or a company/business there and to spend more time there than in any other country...

    Nomad Setup

    You don't risk anything in Bulgaria. The tax authorities here don't care much. Pretty every Bulgarian small business owner here is cheating by selling products/services black for cash without booking it. I have never heard of anyone here having issues with the tax office but I hear a lot of bad...

    Bulgaria Self employed vs EOOD

    This is for "non-EU citizen". In that case, it's much more complicated anyway. Best way to obtain a D visa for non EU nationals in Bulgaria is to have a company setup abroad and register a trade representative office in BG.

    It really depends on your case, i.e. whether you have any substance in Andorra etc.. "Following the EU directive, the CFC rules will not be applicable where the controlled company carries on “substantive economic activity” supported by staff, equipment, assets, and premises." Here you will...

    European Central Bank raises interest rates for first time in 11 years

    To stop runaway inflation, central banks will have to rise interest rates above the inflation rate (like Paul Volcker did in 1981) to the point where the entire economy crashes into a deep depression. Until that happens, inflation rates will only persist or keep growing. Homeopathic increases in...

    Diversifying across jurisdictions

    I wonder how it works if you trade via a local IBKR branch or a via a white label/introducing broker. I guess US shares/ETFs are held in custody in the US but the client and account management is done via the local branch or white label partner, meaning if the juristinction country wants to...

    POLL A sh*tload of deaths recently?

    There is a significant increase in young athletes dying for sure (check 'List of association footballers who died while playing'). I'm checking usmortality dot com and euromomo dot eu on a regular base but don't see abnormally high death rates in the general population yet. Last year, excess...

    Where to move to avoid the next pandemic's restrictions?

    I have chosen Bulgaria over Cyprus mainly because of the insane restrictions they had in Cyprus last winter (at some point they didn't allow people without vax to go to supermarkets). So far, it has been a good choice as the Bulgarian prime minister just announced that there wouldn't be any new...

    Bulgaria Self employed vs EOOD

    I think consulting doesn't fall into the sole trader category, although I'm not 100% sure. It should apply only to merchant/trading activities. "According to the Bulgarian Commercial Code, the sole proprietor is a person that by occupation effects one of the commercial transactions listed in...

    Question Tax-free day trading with a Cyprus company. How does that work?

    Tax is only one aspect. Another question is whether you will be able to open/maintain foreign brokerage accounts with your Cyprus Ltd.. Many traders there create the company only to get the non-dom status and trade with their private account because it is much easier.
