I haven't decided yet but I am talking to a couple of CSPs (including CyprusLawyer101). That is exactly the reason why I created the post. It seems that there are a lot of people that are interested in Cyprus but little transparency in terms of CSPs.

I am not sure if that would be an issue because I have multiple unrelated clients, so it looks (and actually is) a typical "freelancer" setup. However nevertheless good to keep in mind

Likely between 150-200k

I am pretty much looking for a standard setup: Cyprus Ltd. + non-dom status. I plan to live 8-9 months a year on Cyprus and work as IT Consultant for mostly EU companies.

I am interested in setting up a Cyprus LTD and getting the non-dom status plus ongoing accounting / bookkeeping, basically the whole package. I've been talking to a couple of service providers to be able to compare prices etc. but have trouble deciding for one, especially because so far the...

You managed to get a wise account? Here in the forum it seems that most people only manage to get on the waitlist.

@DEUTSCH - any updates? Did you manage to get a proper bank account for your company?

Who helped you to set up your Cyprus company and were you happy with the service provided? Please feel free to PM if you don't want it to be public.

I can't PM you (yet), but would be interested in the referral.

Thanks a lot, great advice! Yes we are currently talking with lawyers and tax consultants in both countries to make sure that we are fully compliant and that there hopefully won't be any issues in the future.

Can anyone report how the daily life in Zug is? I'd imagine it to be quite calm and boring?

Are there any downside of *not* being an employee of your own company?

I would be technical co-founder, industry is B2B saas and size of the company is very small, basically just 2-3 founders and no employees (in the beginning at least). According to my understanding I can work around the misclassification by setting up a local entity that employs me. However I...

What else would you like to know? As stated earlier, I am working on my US residency / Green Card, so (obviously) I am not American.

Yes, temporary accommodations via AirBnb etc. would be the alternative.

The income will likely be in the low 6 digits. I am still working on my US residency but it'll take a while. I do have a US LLC but it is not in use. I am considering becoming co-founder of a EU tech startup.

Well, let's see but I don't think my income would be high enough for a Dubai setup with substance ;)

Well, if I set up a company without substance in Dubai and live in Cyprus then CFC rules will come into place and the company will become tax resident of Cyprus? Cyprus - Corporate - Group taxation According to my understanding living in country a) but having a company in an offshore tax haven...

AFAICT if Malta or Cyprus would argue that me living there would create a PE that would result in the company of my employer becoming tax resident in the jurisdiction and having to file corporate tax returns etc. This is what I would like to avoid. If this can be avoided by forming a new...

Malta and Cyprus are definitely options that I consider, however for me it is not too much about the total tax rate (even though of course lower is better) but more about not causing any issues for my employer. If PE risk can be avoided in Malta and Cyprus then they would be the obvious...
