    Jurisdiction with a tax treaty with Portugal, but dividends exempt from taxation

    Issue I see, is that the UK company (regardless of the ownership) could be considered as PE in Portugal. So in this respect that CFC rules above (that I do not entirely understand) are quite important

    Jurisdiction with a tax treaty with Portugal, but dividends exempt from taxation

    So if the UK tax company pay directly to NHR in Portugal, the dividend will not be taxed (not by UK, nor by Portugal) UK, with 19% (soon 24%) CIT would not ce subject to the Portuguese CFC rules, from what you write above. Would it mean that a UK limited controlled from Portugal that pays...

    Company in Bulgaria for software devs

    I totally agree that Cyprus is a great option comparing to _higher_ tax jurisdiction. However, I do think that the OP has an easy and safe option has a 10+4.5% tax base, so, personally I would take that. If he wants to take a risk (and it is a risk that a non dom status in Cyrpus doesn't...

    Company in Bulgaria for software devs

    I would not bother. Not only you need proper planning and structuring, that is not cheap, but you will always possibly incur the risk of being resident _also_ somewhere else, that given that the residency rules in Cyrpus are very light, may easily win a tie break. And this means also your...

    Company in Bulgaria for software devs

    Looking at your situation, you have two (and half) options 1) Pay corporate tax in Bulgaria, and consider yourself with a center of interest in one country (Bulgaria?) and pay dividend tax there (10%+5%) 2) Pay corporate tax in Bulgaria, and do not consider you tax resident anywhere (10%+0%)...

    How helpful is consulting one of Big4 accounting firms for tax optimisation strategies?

    I was in touch with them with relatively and general advise about dual countries residency, corp taxation, and PE, and they asked me around 19k. I though was way out of the park (by a factor of 12) for the type of advice asked, that probably was worth 1/2 days of work.

    I had a similar question few weeks ago (UK limited, but the point is exactly yours, no tax advantage, just convenience). The summary was that you need to establish substance for your company in the incorporation country otherwise the company will follow you. This seems not to be enforced...

    Well, really you can only invoice following the principle of arm's length, what you are proposing is going to send you straight to jail, so yes, you are going to be able to shift some profit to your Georgian entity, but you are going always to have a profit from UK company that still you would...

    >You write "that I don't really know": you mean the level of taxation by the Irish taxman on dividends from US, UK, AU, etc. stocks that my Irish company would have? correct > So the Italian taxman wouldn't see the source of incomes in the Irish company, right? They would just see the...

    Irish company while resident in Italy

    Assuming you have substance in Ireland, as you seems to have, my comment is not anymore relevant. In the setup you describe the tax on dividend paid to you are subject (and this is a very generic concept not only applicable to the countries we are describing) - if any, to dividend withholding...
