Suppose this is as good a time as any for introductions. Thanks to you all for the wealth of information I've been able to glean thus far. Though I have a ways to go, it's nice to be in the company of those oriented toward asset protection and wealth.
With that, I have a question that may be a little nuanced, but still relevant (if only tangentially).
I spent some months vetting the right custodian to self-direct my IRA. Specifically, I needed an institution that would allow for investment in a single-member LLC.
In the next bout of research I set my sites on a︀ country and formation group. From an idealistic standpoint Nevis fits the bill, but after reading︁
many threads here, and going back and forth with a few formation groups, I'm in︂ a bit of a rut.
As I understand, there were a few pesky amendments that︃ required LLCs in Nevis to pay a 33% tax. I even read that the infamous︄ $100k bond required for entities attempting to cease assets may no longer be in effect.︅
I've heard many things with regard to this tax: that it applies to Nevis companies︆ only if conducting business in Nevis, or that it applies to Nevis companies conducting business︇ anywhere in the world.
After reading through the legislation provided by the formation companies, and︈ being assured by one, in particular, that this does not apply in my case, I'm︉ still at an impasse.
You see, as a US citizen these (traditional) IRA funds are︊ to be taxed at a later date by my own government. Additionally, at the end︋ of the day my "checkbook control" of these funds will be used to invest outside︌ of Nevis.
I mention all of this to simply ask - will I be taxed︍ using this scheme?
I appreciate your time.
