thanks, I will take this up with my lawyer. It would be perfect for us if we can utilise holland or luxemburg in the structure, just so that it gives a great reputation to the company and also patents are more safe in these jurisdictions and have good standing globally.

theres a new shell company act which will come into force this year or from 1st jan next year too, these complex structures will be scrutinized

depends on what your definition of entertainment is, I think there are better places for all types of entertainment like amsterdam, london, dubai and singapore. I totally agree with you, just to add italy has guardia di finanza which basically is the fiscal police, they go around in cars and...

Thanks marzio for your input. I have sent him an email about this structure and also some of my other doubts. Maybe he didnt suggest this structure cuz 2 of my other partners are in italy and asia. If the company becomes domicile in those countries then it will be a big problem, I havent read...

Actually you are completely right, malta is very small and I still dont know if I can spend the rest of my life in malta or if I would even enjoy living in malta. But, if I go I will be going with a clear aim of getting my work done and achieving my objective. Not rulling out cyprus yet. As they...

Thanks for the response, I am seriously considering cyprus too as an option, but with my meeting with a lawyer in malta today I was very impressed, apparently I can end up paying 0% if I pay myself dividends thru a scottish llp. The structure was simple. Corporate tax can be brought down to 2-3%...

Europe or second would be asia. Italy should be considered only if you are 60 and above otherwise it is hell, I live in italy and would not recommend it to anyone. It has one of the worst services in europe. i believe the 100k rule also has a lot of if's and buts and declarations. Last...

considering cyprus as an option, I am avoiding UAE for now but I do have second residency there and a company. I dont want my kids to be exposed to UAE, holland offers a very good holding company regime which I am seriously considering. Malta seems to be a good option but their non dom comes...

Which non-dom is best as your experience, knowledge? I am considering non dom countries but worried about CFC and permanent establishment rules. What do you think is a more safer place to be non dom? Ireland? Malta? Cyprus?

thanks for taking the time to share your experience about cyprus, well it looks pretty attractive, whats the catch? I am currently in malta and quite impressed by the weather and people, meeting some lawyers tomorrow to see if a structure can be worked out. My business will probably net 1m - 5m...

how much are we talking in terms of corporate and personal tax? and capital gains? no I am not thinking of being in italy long term, I have achieved what I wanted to achieve in Italy and now is the time to exit for me i think. I am looking at making around 5m-8m euros approx in cap gains and...

the eu doesnt have problems having tax havens within their borders unless money remains within europe, the rest can get blacklisted and shamed globally.

just move to the canary islands and pay 4% tax there and get it over with, you will be more happy, you spending more time in spain and less in malta is an easy case for the tax authorities in spain to go after you. Just form a company in canary islands and pay 4% tax and get it over with.

dont go for the 100k option and you will thank me for the rest of your life (maybe). goodluck

no thanks, i will stick to italy rather. no, you should get a rulling from the guardia di finanza (tax authority of italy) before moving or simultaneously. Please do that before. or agenzia entrate, please speak to a good commercialista in milano. avoid all other regions when it comes to these...

I wouldnt recommend Italy from my personal experience for tax residency but again if you want to pay 100k just to tax authorities go ahead but I can suggest places where you can use that money instead. Its better to stay in Italy as long as you dont trigger tax residency. If I were you I would...

Thankyou for taking the time to share your views and experience. I know people who have used the dutch sandwich and it worked pretty well. Apparently I like the holding company using the participation exemption and keeping the gains or distributing dividends. I am keen to go to malta also cuz of...

thanks for taking the time to answer. Well, I have the right to whine cuz its not well written law and can lead to abuse by the authorities or favouritism on who can and cannot get it. Malta is my second preference and I am seriously considering it. Thanks

I dont mind getting the right visa. Yes I have been to uk, apart from the weather it fits my criteria pretty well. London is expensive but still it has great schools and other services that I need for my business plus banking etc is great along with connectivity. I spoke to a lawyer in malta...

sorry but nwo is china, russia, India and Saudi. All resources covered. Maybe you can throw southafrica and UAE in the mix too. maybe qatar too.
