As most people that come to mentor group I also have a few questions..

My situation is this :

I have a 100% legal business in Croatia , I sell both physical goods and intellectual (design) rights
I want to keep most of it in Croatia as is and pay our taxes.. but I would also like to have a solution to get about $50k a year on account that my government won't be able to tap to..

my potential solutions are basically these 3 things :

1. Get a company with paypal and emi done with real documents but not mine
2. Get a personal paypal and Revolut or any other emi that works with paypal also not on my name
3. Make my own offshore company with nominee and get the utility bill and passport photo from the nominee, I saw someone on the regular forum mention this.. Does anyone know an agent that would provide such a service?
Open company with nominee and get me his passport photo and utility bill so i can open TW or Revolut and perhaps paypal ?

options 1 and 3 seem pretty much the same except I would be the owner of the company in option 3, also company won't own any assets or hold money etc.. so perhaps i should opt for the cheaper solution between the two.

option 2 seems like the easiest thing to do if I get good documents , I'm just not sure how long do those type of setups work.
I myself had paypal connected with my own payoneer which worked like a charm, I sent all the docs paypal wanted and since then they didn't ask for nothing else. I stopped both paypal and payoneer years ago as my business grew and I wanted to start doing 100% transparent and pay my taxes so I don't get into trouble.
I also visited tax adviser here in Croatia , multiple of them actually and basically they said that for ~$50k I might just open paypal and payoneer again and use that , and that our tax authorities aren't paying any attention to paypal and emis (for now).. that advice isn't really what I was looking for and doesn't seem to be a valid one at least not for a longer period of time.
Tax people will for sure get only better not worse as countries want more and more money.. Maybe not right away or for a few years but in 5 to 10 years for sure and then they could charge me for all those years of not paying taxes..

Please if you can advise me I'd appreciate it!

I know I'm in the no mans land with this , 50k isn't enough money for a real proper bullet proof setup as it's not enough profit for it.. but in the same time it might be enough to rise some questions with my government if they see I have 50k undeclared money.
Also I want to keep most of my business in Croatia and pay taxes on it as I have a house and other things in my name and I don't plan to move out of my country I would just like to be able to get 50k to my emi or similar and cash out on atm and have it tax free is possible..

Thank you all and happy holidays!!!

Why would you not want to use your own docs?

I know a few guys around here will be able to handle this for you for less than 3 - 5K and wonder why they haven't jumped in here already! @moneynetwork , @blueweb - but what you need to understand is that this most often isn't long term as you already mentioned yourself.

Typically such setups last for 4 - 6 months and that's it. Alternatives you need to look for solutions with real "nominee beneficial owner" it's illegal but their exists such services, I believe the establishing costs starts at 13K - 15K for such services.

that's what i was wondering , it's not a long term solution and i don't make that much money in 4 months to make ti viable.. i mean i could but then i'd have to run all my business through that setup which is something i don't want to do.. at least not at this point.

Thank you for your reply!
 
Why not a US LLC?
Put yourself a low salary from the LLC and the rest spend it using the company Debit Card

You can setup a simple company say in the Seychelles, Cyprus or even if you want a US LLC, then setup a transferwise or other EMI account and spend the money from the corporate card you will get from them, no one will ask questions in regards to the company spendings.

You will still risk to be taxed on the spending you made on the corporate card if someone figure it out unless you are setting the entire thing up based on darks on with special nominees.

I have most of my customers from USA , so still not sure if I need to pay tax if I sell items or services to USA people. I found one source that says I don't need to pay anything as long as I didn't produce those items services in USA.. others say I need to pay tax on each sale I make to USA citizen.

Further more my problem isn't anonimity from my customers but from my country.. I just would like to not pay tax on that portion of my earnings..
And as @moneynetwork mentioned I can do tw and USA llc but even with nominee tw will still see me as the UBO and if they start reporting they will do so to Croatia (my home country ) not to USA...

I guess the problem always is the bank / emi UBO , you can hide assets etc but when you receive money you need a bank or emi that won't report to your home country..

Not even sure how reporting of LLC emi account goes ...

Thank you all for your answers. I appreciate it !

or you are using darks or illegal nominee service which will act as UBO - there are not many agency service providing such service but they are around.

You only need to pay that taxes if while you work for those customers you are in US soil

If you are working remotely and only dealing with them over Internet it's fine, no need to pay taxes for them
