Fake TIF number

Kind of... I agree‍ with your way of proceeding by the way, but looks like OP is interested in⁠ appearing a Portuguese tax resident to the Portuguese bank, so that Romania is not informed⁤ about his account through CRS, but without actually being a Portuguese tax resident, so that⁣ he doesn't have to pay Portuguese tax either.

There are ways to achieve this but⁢ I won't recommend any of them, legal tax avoidance is surely the way to go...︀ I would just do what you suggested in your first sentences (inform the Portuguese bank︁ about being a tax resident of Romania and deal with CRS information, especially since the︂ amount is relatively small and tax/fines in Romania are low), or just leave Romania to︃ a country where one can legally live tax-free.

For example,‌ which country(ies)?

You're a veteran, you know the‌ answer to this question.

 

[jafo]

I wished! There are so many things I don't know and they far exceed what‍ I do know. Some things I don't even know that I don't know rof/%

Well, I think you know the usual suspects... You have fully tax-free⁠ but more expensive countries like UAE (really easy to set up a FZ and live⁤ there legally), or cheaper countries that have some sort of territorial taxation that allow you⁣ to live tax-free if you plan accordingly, such as Thailand, Panama, Paraguay, etc.

Then you⁢ also have the non-CRS countries that don't really care or don't have a developed tax︀ agency and don't tax foreign income yet, like Laos or Cambodia.

In any case, Romania︁ is really not that bad with 10% tax, especially for earnings below $100K. But if︂ OP doesn't want to give anything to the Romanian government, planting the right flags on︃ the aforementioned countries (or any other similar ones) should be a good, completely legal solution︄ for him.

NO. Fines in Romania︄ are not low, if they come backwards they come with at less 0.12 %/day ,︅ and you will have to pay more than you earned. i don't want to give︆ any $ to a country where i was not even leaving while i did those︇ money, and i am also not interesting right now into "hidding into crypto" , because︈ i don't want to restart the "clock again".

I can show Romanians/portughese i haven't deposited︉ any money in the last 3 years. All the companies i used to exchange my︊ e-gold, perfectmoney are now vanished.
They were "black exchange companies". or maybe they were some︋ offshore companies, but are no longer online now.

Romanian IRS is not just thirsty after︌ money now, but it is thirst to punish people (webcam girls, webcam studio owners, youtubers,︍ programmers) in order to show the whole population the "system works" as is better to︎ pay taxes.

I can't show them any work proof in the past 5-10 years ,️ as i was literally not working, nor do i plan to work again any time‌ soon.

10% tax and⁣ 10% mandatory health care. And the penalties fines is like 0.12%/day!

My advice to you is LEAVE!︅ I don't know where you should go, but you need to LEAVE now!

Nobody on︆ here, even the most well-meaning law-abiding person, has ANY idea what it is to go︇ against the most entitled unproductive gang members in the tax collection departments...unless they have already︈ been through the meat grinder.

Stop wasting your time looking for written solutions, i.e. laws.︉ You need to leave the sinking ship! You can't plug the holes of the sinking︊ ship! Leave now! Just pack up and leave!

 

[scooterguy]

I think that the statute of︅ limitations in Romania is 5 years.

By the way, you don't need to pay 10%︆ health care on all of your income, you can just set up a micro company,︇ and take most of your money as dividends at 8%. If you make enough money︈ you can structure this properly with a low salary, and pay an effective tax rate︉ of ~10%.

 

[pixbix]

Sure, those stocks pay me dividents, i don't want to go︀ out, and when i return to readd the money and wait 6 more years, a︁ time when any idiot can shoot in the foot for fun.

 

[jafo]

OK. Good luck!⁠
