    Could the New U.S. Tariffs Trigger a Shift in Domestic Tax Policies Worldwide?

    The companies mostly have an EU presence, and pay VAT, corporate tax etc already. Any additional tax, such as Digital Service Taxes will just ensure the EU add even more bureaucracy to put off even more people from starting a digital business there. Because it's such a stupid idea, it will...

    Trump Says Will Sell 'Gold' Residency Permits For $5 Million

    Unless you have a hell of a lot more than $5m and would benefit from the proposed exclusion on taxation on non-US assets.

    Cheapest & Best way to get car in Cyprus?

    Buying a car is much cheaper compared to renting/leasing in Cyprus, as the fees are quite high due to tourism demands (if you're not just staying a few months then leaving forever). For a car your best bet will be looking on Bazaraki (also likely for apartments too). A used car which can cost...

    Digital Nomad Perpetual Traveler + Apartment in Cyprus = tax ?

    Paphos is fine if you're with your partner/family etc, or are quite happily being isolated for a large part of the year, or just maybe grabbing a pint with the local retired British couple. I would suggest Larnaca based on what's stated above. There is a reason the rental prices are as they are...

    Planning US visit for bank

    On Fiverr, make sure you find somebody who has reviews older than 3-4 months for the ITIN. Many times the "delivery" on the platform happens within a few days and they get a review, but the waiting time to get the document is 2 months from the IRS. Some scammers use the platform to sell as much...

    Sweden has announced plans to repatriate immigrants with Swedish citizenship who have not integrated into Western society.

    They will deport a few high profile cases and claim success but in reality I guess nothing changes

    Processor Asking For Bank Verification Letter

    It looks like they verify by having a user login via a browser and it verifies the information there, rather than specifically verifying scanned PDF's. See here: How DIRO Works to Verify Authenticity of Online Documents You can simply refuse to do this if any organisation requests it. I don't...

    I imagine the cash given to the worker/fixer was a more important requirement than the tourist ACR.

    Perpetual travelers: renting an apartment for address proof in tax-friendly jurisdictions?

    I didn't avail of the service, but in a popular low tax country, I contacted some agents via Facebook Marketplace, and within 2 hours I had an agent offer me a rental contract and ongoing utility bills for 20-25% of the rent. They informed me it's quite common and they have various ways of...

    New Philippines FIV Permanent Residency?

    I spoke to the people behind the article linked above. The "FIV" is mainly branding so you can't go and do this yourself (searching FIV wont allow you do to much research), rather than an official program name. They charge US $20K for obtaining the residency, then they invest your US $75K in...

    spanish freelance working abroad

    For 0 risk, you need to leave Spain. Living there, there is no way to do what you're doing without risk (for your friend, of course)

    VPN ghosting: seem to be in once place, but really be somewhere else.

    I guess this just means that they announce the IP addresses in the Ip2Country databases as being ie in Thailand or Sri Lanka when really the server is in Singapore? Atleast this is how a previous VPN provider did this.

    Is Cyprus suitable for adult business?

    Bazaraki, one of the most popular CY websites has a category for this and they don't seem to have any issues

    Is Cyprus suitable for adult business?

    Plenty of people in the adult industry in Cyprus. As suggested above, I would bank abroad, however for payment processing, there are some processors even in CY (Limassol) that would probably work with you, that specifically focus on adult/high risk.

    US-based. Seeking driver's license service.

    I keep seeing ads for Georgian (country, not US state) drivers licences for around €200-€400 but you need to show up personally. They claim no residency is required, but I can't vouch for any service. I've not seen any services offering licences without showing up, although I'm very sure...

    Crypto taxation in Cyprus

    You would have to do something like this regardless of taxes. Cypriot banks are allergic to Crypto.

    Heads up: just had my Wio account suspended

    I seen a few people on Reddit talking about this. One even went to the police station and the police told them there are no open cases or investigations against him. I guess the bank lied. Atleast 5-6 people in one post in the same situation. Last edited: Jun 6, 2024
