I think this is mostly a question for @Don : If you register a company in a country that only considers companies tax resident if they have their PoEM in that country (for example: Gibraltar, Singapore, Hong Kong, possibly others), but then you manage this company from a country without PoEM...

I found @Don's comment here very interesting: Post in thread 'Iran for doing business tax free' Nov 5, 2024 It's not exactly the same. Nowadays, in the UAE, rather limited activities are exempt from tax (also referred to as qualifying activities), so in Iran the scope is broader. However...

I think it was @Marzio who mentioned that Malta's transfer pricing rules only kick in from quite high revenue thresholds. Cyprus also seems to have a requirement of at least 1M or so in transfers before transfer pricing rules kick in. Is that correct? If yes, are there other reputable countries...

I have been surprised to see there is very little info in the forum about San Marino. Why? Seems like a very interesting option? You even have tax incentives for high-tech companies: C Thread 'Need help with taxes in San-Marino for High Tech companies and Individuals.' Mar 16, 2021 As for I...

I have heard some rumors that there are corporate service providers in Switzerland who can use clever international structures to achieve much lower taxation than the head corporate income tax rate. How do you find such providers and know that they really have experience with this and aren't...

Haven't seen this discussed here yet: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-declares-oecd-tax-deal-has-no-force-or-effect-us-2025-01-21/

It seems like US LLCs (and similar entities with no clear corporate tax residency) can be problematic. This can cause problems like: * The tax authority in the member's residency country could claim there is a PE / it is managed from there * For payments to such an entity, the tax authority in...

After the discussion here: Post in thread 'Buying a house in Spain non-resident, risks?' Jan 2, 2025 Canary islands? Why not just do Caribbean? In winter is not that warm there. You cannot swim in the sea. Not much difference of South of Europe in winter In Caribbean you have almost same...

I saw @forward mention IFICI, the successor to Portugal's NHR scheme. According to my very basic research, it looks a lot like Spain's Beckham Law...? You would basically always need a local job in PT, you can't just live off dividends...? Has anyone investigated it closer?

I guess I could have posted this as a reply to this thread, but it's slightly more specific, so I figured a new thread might be in order. I don't remember who suggested this originally, was it @TheCryptoAnt or @wellington ? Anyway, someone mentioned they live in Thailand full time, living off...

I have seen some digital nomads advocate for Spain as a "paper residency" as you aren't automatically considered tax resident, even if you rent a place for the whole year. So you can get utility bills to show to banks etc. - just make sure you don't spent too much time there and you can prove...

I am planning to scale my business over the next couple of years. Which means I would have to hire employees in one or more European countries. I would be able to shift profits to other entities (e.g. the local companies would only be reselling services provided by another entity), but some...

There a couple of countries that offer tax benefits to HNWI who don't work in the country, like Switzerland, Italy, Greece etc., or even the UK. A requirement of these programs is typically that you can't work in the country (or if you do, then tax benefits don't apply to that income). Even if...

The forum tells me I have reached the maximum number of conversations, but I have even deleted/left half of them and I still can't send any messages anymore...?

I always thought that banks only include information about account balances at the end of the year in their CRS reports. But I have read some places that they also include the total amounts that were transferred in and out of the account in the reports? Also accrued interest etc.? Is that...

Has anyone done some research into EU partnerships? US LLCs and UK LLPs seem quite popular, but what about options within the EU? Ireland, Estonia, maybe even traditional high-tax countries? The structures should be transparent, so there usually shouldn't be any tax if you don't have local...

After discussing this over here with @SimpleGuy , I figured it might make sense to create a separate thread for the Carribean. Bahamas, BVI, Cayman Islands, French or Dutch overseas territories etc. - for someone with a pretty much nomadic lifestyle, would it make sense to get personal tax...

@SasuT mentioned it here: https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/threads/france-tax-optimization.41869/#post-265297 There is something called ZFU (zones franches urbaines) where, if you register a company before the end of this year, you will not pay any corporate income tax for 5 years, and after...

Is it possible to obtain a Thai tax residency certificate without spending 180+ days in the country, for example if you get a local job and pay some tax?

I understand a lot of people here may be doing B2C only (ecommerce etc.) or offer some other way of "mass market" product (SaaS etc.). Or maybe they only they sell their own time as a freelancer. But for those who offer B2B services with employees - aren't you concerned about reputation? Don't...
