When you frequently trade they no longer consider it capital gains, they consider it business income.daniels27 said:
I think many counties do not tax capital gains. Also even in the US you can use Roth IRAs for that.

Yes but it also depends on the account you trade etc. Also, I think in places like Hong Kong you don't even have to report such activity.liroyb said:

If cryptos are purchased through European ETPs, such as bitcoin:
CoinShares Physical Bitcoin ISIN: GB00BLD4ZL17 Ticker: BITC
The legal structure is listed as: Legal Structure Debt Security (ETP)
This would be listed as stocks and would be tax-free for Cyprus?

Are you forced to form a company and trade under the company? or can trade under your name?Radko said:
Cyprus is full of traders, they all go there to stop paying capital gains tax.
Also no taxes if you move to Panama, plenty of traders there as well.

Thanks a lot for clarifying. What about interest income from bonds, exemption requires non dom status?Radko said:
Good question... everybody wants you to form a company, that's how they make money, but there is no need to have a company, no need to be a Non-dom, just a resident and off you go (there is no capital gains tax in Cyprus as an individual).

So if EU citizen wants to relocate Cyprus without the usual non dom procedure, what should he do?Radko said:
I only trade futures, so I have no idea about bonds and the interest, but I imagine interest are treated as foreign income, so I don't think there are taxes on that.
Also there is no withholding on foreign dividends in Cyprus.
Of course if you generate dividends in the US you're subject to the US withholding rate, which is 15% based on the double tax treaty the US has with Cyprus.
No need for the Non-dom.
Hope that helps..
