    eSIM for two factor auth and sms verification (see topic)

    Getting a SIM card or esim in a country doesn't make you tax resident there. This doesn't work like that. Imagine, digital nomads who travel the world around and buy sims everywhere would be tax residents in dozens of countries

    What happens if you don't register for VAT in Dubai?

    Legally, you have to apply for VAT. When doing the VAT declarations, you must put all your sales as sales outside the GCC zone. All those sales will benefit from 0% VAT so you will not have to pay anything. But if you have reached the threshold, better to register now than to register in the...

    Where would you register your company if you would not care about taxes or privacy?

    Maybe this has been asked before, but I'm really curious to know what you guys think. Where would you register your company if you would not care about taxes, privacy, banks, etc? Only consider the benefits you would get by registering a company in X country.

    Investing in foreign stocks while being a resident of Malaysia? (or other foreign countries)

    This is interesting but not clear to me. I guess you said it because of this point from the Deloitte article you shared: Would that mean that a dividend received in January 2022 but transferred to Malaysia in March 2023 would not have to pay income tax? How can they even control this

    Investing in foreign stocks while being a resident of Malaysia? (or other foreign countries)

    So yes you are right. Strangely enough, I've spent this whole morning asking different accountants, lawyers, and people, and nobody is aware of this. Like wtf but you seem to be correct. In July they gazetted the final rules looks like. The remitted income should be taxed in another country with...

    Investing in foreign stocks while being a resident of Malaysia? (or other foreign countries)

    I'm currently residing in Malaysia for several years so here is first hand info: Malaysia has introduced tax on foreign income remitted into Malaysia at the beginning of 2022 BUT they have given an exception for at least the next 4 years. So this doesn't apply now. Nobody here knows what will...

    What happens if you don't register for VAT in Dubai?

    This is not legal advice, but my experience: Better to register if you cross the threshold even if you don't do any business in UAE. I registered late by mistake and had to pay a fine for it. Filling the VAT every 3 months is very easy if you don't do business in UAE, you just put zeros...

    I'm currently living in Malaysia for some years with MM2H but I got it before they did the last changes.

    How to avoid dividend tax for non resident investor?

    Same as Larin said, I'm using Interactive Broker (via the reseller "Tradestation International" as IB is not directly supported in my country without a reseller). Had nothing to submit, just make sure to check that the ETF is indeed domiciled in Ireland and you are good to go. This is nothing...

    How to avoid dividend tax for non resident investor?

    yes, this is a good idea if you are living in a country without a tax treaty with the US. Currently doing exactly this, ETF investment with dividends in Ireland domiciled ETF and you get 0% withholding tax (not sure if all cases, but at least in my case). Just be careful as some ETF have very...

    Obtain Covid-19 green certification without vaccine

    there is no risk as you meet with the doctor, the doctor takes a vaccine dose and instead of injecting it in your arm, it throws it into the trash or sink and marks it as injected in the system. The only risk is if the doctor says it to anyone, but in the end, there is no proof that the liquid...
