And if you have a strong passport (EU and one from LATAM) this would work for a long long time. Is it sustainable permanently? I have my doubts. The moment you settle down because of family, kids, work, health or other reasons the above wont work. For as long as you can live the nomad lifestyle...

In modern trusts a trust protector keeps an eye on the objectives of a trust. Traditionally you have the “settlor”, “trustee”, “beneficiary” roles in a trust. Strict separation of those helps in avoiding full transparent treatment. The challenge then arises that you don't own anything...

Until very recent Estonia was the to-go-to jurisdiction for crypto scammers. In the broadest sense of the word. This came from Estonia being the new kid on the block and lax with implementation of regulation. This got exploited by many many scammers. As a result Estonia is now doubling down on...

The issue is interim. If your company doesn't earn enough to justify the dividend you pay yourself. Then you will face problems. My honest recommendation is to stay away from dividend payments.

Be careful with excessive dividend payments. I mean with that on a monthly basis. It is a clear sign that something shady is going on. Normal dividend intervals are quarterly, bi annually or annually. If paying more than once a year after finishing your accounts it is often an interim...

Various writers have sold books which were not ready yet. The system isn't weird and if you deliver or more I also don't see the problem.

A lot less than what you mention already works. Mind you, it's not Cyprus that is being bothered. It's the home countries of the non Cypriot directors that need to “buy” it.

I lived in Cyprus in 2012 and that bail-in indeed caused issues, BUT keep one thing in mind; having a company there is one thing. It doesnt mean that you have to bank there. All companies that had non-cyprus banks were not affected. It's in that sense always better to never bet on one horse ;)...

Specifically for the UK, Cyprus isn't the worst solution. It pretty much depends on the numbers..

And is this really “taking tax evasion to the next level”? To me it sounds like reusing existing methods which are slightly changed to meet current demands. I believe it when he has an account in a fake name and a fake passport. Banking passports were very very common in the past. The concept...

Where are your opco's, shareholdings, clients? Make sure to found something in a jurisdiction that doesn't complicate engaging with the aforementioned activities. Plus you don't have to live where your holding company is. Just find the solution that works and doesn't complicate transactions.

Ok, so my thought process isn't too far off. All I can say is that Estonia doesnt have a very good reputation when it comes to crypto's in general. And that means they will emphasise chasing it when its blatant evasion. Personally I think there are then better jurisdictions to "perform that...

Please elaborate. Reading in between the lines it now comes across to me as not reporting crypto assets.

I've personally assisted in various countries citizens and or residents with their tax quests. Documentation, because cases went to court, from various tax departments have shown and confirmed that.

guidelines is the key word. it is still boiling down to the discretion of the individual countries. if you currently see how religiously they are hunting for taxes... you have the answer to "guidelines" and how they are interpreted.

Tell that to all of the people that are in the aftermath of dealing with tax filings with their passport country.

No its not at all confusing. Even as a resident you will be asked to provide a passport. If this is from a different country, reporting will take place.

The short answer is, yes it will be reported to the passport country. It will also be reported to the residency country.

No you cannot skip auditing. Ive tried it countless times in various ways. Every single time I had to get accounts audited. The best way is to find an auditor which you can work with for real. Older individuals I found the best and most convenient in that sense.

Curious to see if it will hold up now that teh USA has voiced concerns.
