Right. But many people are happy with that. You only pay corporate income tax and you can save the money. You can still pay yourself a small salary.
Yes, but that’s only the Swedish side.
Sweden was a︀ bad example - I was unaware of that Swedish rule. But if all the rule︁ does is say “You are tax resident in Sweden for 5 years after you move︂ away,” I can’t see how it would be relevant if there is a DTA and︃ you live full time in another country for a year or two?
I understand that︄ there probably are other rules to make this difficult or impossible, I’m just trying to︅ understand it.
But it seems like this is indeed not possible the way I first︆ thought because there usually is withholding tax to foreign tax residents even within the EU.︇ The only way to do this would be with a foreign holding company like you︈ mentioned, but this would require a good deal of substance and it would still be︉ subject to exit tax. And even within the EU, the payment of the exit tax︊ would only be postponed, but they could always change the law and make you pay︋ it anyway.
