    A residence in Paraguay

    Ok.... here goes. I was traveling with a Spanish friend last month to Paraguay. He is a native Spanish speaker and accomplished all you mentioned in two weeks flat. We had to leave else he would have all the docs in hand as well. Upon returning there he could collect the docs. No extra fees...

    Extremely Difficult to Open Bank Account for Offshore company

    Hahahaha, you have to catch up. High street banks also do this since the last 1-2 years. The latest AML/ATF directives demand banks to work like this. Its wreaking havoc and has even put local companies in EU countries out of business already. Some have had to go to court to get a judge force a...

    How to get paid a Tax Free Salary from your own company?

    It depends on the country. Some countries do have socials. So its not exclusively "if you don't live in Europe". Also, what do I specifically mention, and you even quote that sentence? "in Europe". I am not aiming for anything. I reply to a comment that was made, which made me wonder.

    How to get paid a Tax Free Salary from your own company?

    Last time I checked Dubai wasn't Europe. Furthermore I wonder about the social contributions? Salaried positions come, insofar I know, always with social contributions in Europe.

    Help Needed: Best Country to Establish a Company

    I would then add to the above to find a country where it is relatively easy and cheap to register and file. UK in that sense isn't the worst as you can do a lot yourself and because of that pricing is very competitive when you outsource it.

    Help Needed: Best Country to Establish a Company

    In sofar I know it never got to a trial. A quick search does tell me that info has been scrubbed. I can barely find anything anymore about that case. He was for quite some time in prison. It's true that he tempted faith. Since then doing business with Cyprus receives a lot of attention in The...

    Help Needed: Best Country to Establish a Company

    The reputation of Cyprus is bad you look through the eyes of Dutch government. The main reason for this is Toine Manders who got arrested in Cyprus in (if I remember correctly) 2014, extradited and prosecuted by the Dutch. Ever since Cyprus is frowned upon.

    Incorporation for non KYC

    I also experience this right now. First time I experienced it was when Cyprus went bankrupt about a decade ago and you had to upload an underlying document for every outbound transaction. Yes, this is not the same as this new USA legislation. Only mentioning it as it is nothing new. More...

    How to Travel Light for a Year-Long Journey Across Europe and Beyond?

    I am one of those. I walk a lot on flip flops. It's why I can do with less socks The Airboss from RedOxx. Over the years I have tried a lot. Until now, I think that I am most satisfied with this one. Last edited: May 8, 2024

    How to Travel Light for a Year-Long Journey Across Europe and Beyond?

    I used eagle creek myself as well. Until unfortunately the tore at the zipper. I then bought ones from ikea. They also work perfect. The latest cube versions also let you compress your clothes. Reason why I have one is organization. You can compare it to have a tech pouch for cables and other...

    WHT and CIT with Swiss branch

    I am aware of other numbers being used in such cases. Think company registration numbers or LEI numbers. Basically it is a check on whether it is correct to not charge VAT. In one of my previous companies we were forced to have a VAT number (canton of Zug). One of the things that changed at...

    WHT and CIT with Swiss branch

    In so far I am aware you still need a tax number from both seller and client side to apply the zero tax. If a number is missing it is treated as a B2C transaction and then you need to charge Swiss VAT. This is what I always had to deal with with invoices originating from Switzerland to abroad.

    Is there any offshore company or trust protecting assets?

    St Kitts being a nightmare banking wise at the moment. Other than that you are on the money. If not mistaken st kitts is grey listed which makes it a nightmare to work with. Only thing with tax authorities is that regardless of who owns it, if they can get their hands on it (real estate or art...

    traveling with fake precious metals

    I would like to add; if you declare it when entering and leaving a country it wont be a problem. Im aware of stories about just a handful of silver coins causing problems. In one case value wise not even 500 dollars but they didnt have the invoice/receipt with them and didnt declare as they...

    4 Bugatti Veyrons: What legal or corporate structure would you have used to protect them in MotorWorld against theft by the German Police?

    If you are high profile and your wealth is not squeaky clean and you want to flaunt it.. it starts with proper asset protection. Not a half a*s solution such as "but its in a company" only to forget that they themselves own the shares of the company. Wrt expensive assets (houses / cars) and not...
