EU holding company dividends to US tax payer

[22kay]

Which country in the European Union (EU), would be best suited for a holding company, if you would consider making dividends to a United States of America tax resident?

USA tax resident could be either corp or personal, whatever suites the purpose of low or none tax withholding.

Anyone with experiences?

Cyprus, Malta and Estonia. There are more options, just to name a few. These are probably the cheapest in terms of accounting and setup cost, and the tax authorities are less aggressive in those countries.

How is Cyprus, Malta and Estonia reputation, when it comes to being "shady" tax havens in the context of money transfers from other European countries (banks and tax authorities)?
Eg. will the bank account "survive" any transfers to an Estonia, Cyprus or Malta bank, and not getting closed?
