Apparently, Egypt does not tax non-employment foreign-sourced income (including investment income and capital gains) of those who do not engage in professional or industrial activities inside the country. You can read more here, specifically section 2.10...

Let's say that on top of your current income, I give you an additional $10K, every month, with the condition that you must spend the whole amount by the end of each month. You are not allowed to invest it in any way whatsoever (including trying to double it in any form of gambling), or give it...

Let's say that a person lives in a territorial tax country or one with no capital gains tax (or both). That person is on vacation in Italy, withdraws 5,000 EUR from a Bitcoin ATM, and then goes to an exchange to convert that money to his country of residence's currency. Flies back to his...

It seems very straightforward; even with a basic salary, if a person invests a little bit every month in the stock market and other assets, most people would not need to work after 10”“20 years. A lot of people, especially the middle class, are obsessed with money; hence, it makes even less...

They've been around forever, and on paper everything looks perfect: US/UK bank accounts to get paid to and easy withdrawals to local bank accounts. They also provide a card that can be used to make purchases or withdraw money from ATMs. It's true that their service is slightly expensive though...

Lithuanian bank that seems to open accounts remotely to non-residents: Open Bank Account Online - Simple. Smart. Secure - Satchel Looks solid enough for keeping amounts under 100K EUR, and apparently it's crypto-friendly. From a quick glance at their terms and conditions, their fees might...

I've reached a point in which I'm content with my investment income, and at the same time I'm getting tired of constant changing tax policies in all countries. I feel that 10-15 years ago it made sense to live in 3rd world countries that lacked regulations or foreign tax policies. One could...

I have some friends who know very little about investing and have very little discipline, so they'd rather have me invest that money in a few ETFs and take care of portfolio rebalancing, instead of doing it themselves and running the risk of going into panic selling mode or DOGE greed. The...

Currently most of my accounts are investment accounts or local accounts in a few different countries. This works well, but I want to add at least one remote bank for additional peace of mind. In the past I used CIM Banque, which is fine but it has expensive maintenance fees, and I'm looking to...

I'm looking for something like this: Customer gets a payment page, where they can pay via credit card. Card is charged. The payment processor converts the funds to crypto. I can then withdraw crypto to my own wallet. I know that some payment processors allow to do the exact opposite of that...

I'm an EU citizen living outside the EU and I'm looking into setting up a UK company for some side income. The company would own subscription based apps and a couple of websites getting AdSense revenue. Estimated revenue of the company would be around 20K/year during the first years of...

No one ever talks about Laos, but maybe someone around here knows a thing or two about it? I've been doing some research (and also I was there many years ago), and here are my findings: Pros: 100% foreign ownership of companies is allowed, including sole proprietorships. Low cost of living...

Apparently the wealth tax is 2.5% for assets held abroad, when the value of them is over ~90K USD (Argentina - Individual - Other taxes). This means that if you have 1M USD abroad, you'd be paying 25K in wealth taxes. This doesn't make much sense though, since that kind of wealth tax would...

Here's my situation: * I live in a country with a territorial tax system. * I do IT work and my clients (from USA) pay me in BTC, which goes directly to my wallet (no banks and no exchanges involved whatsoever). * I don't use the BTC for my living expenses, mostly hoard it or buy stuff online...
