If you want to use a EU capital company and pay 0% taxes then the only option i'm aware of is the Estonian company with a Bulgarian branch in tax free area setup.

I prefer not to use EU capital company, just region that is whitelisted for EU. Any suggestions?
In short you can have a Singapore company while not being resident nor Singaporean. If you make the money outside Singapore and never remit it to Singapore it won't be b taxed. You have to distribute it as dividends directly to the owners bank account which also may not be in Singapore.
Please do not confuse it with FSIE, which is on regards to passive income and concerns situations where you try to avoid dividend taxation of EUSSR companies. It has nothing to do with this. Please do not discuss any FSIE regulations here.

To be considered resident in SG a company needs to have substance in SG (a nominee director wouldn't fly) so prepare to shell out some $

Yes I don’t have any residency in Singapore and no customers inside. Nothing in Singapore. I’m just looking to open a real 0% tax region and get the dividends. That’s it ! But this region needs to be EU whitelisted.
But why the company should be considered︂ tax resident of Singapore? If NOT doing so, saves taxes to 0%??
Every response has a new term to learn, amazing how much knowledge you need to open︄ a company… no idea about it, I’m not asking I’ll research in Google. Thank you︅ very much

A US LLC is the simplest I think. That it is disregarded just means that you pay tax as an individual where you live, and not to the US (unless you live in︀ the US or have an office employees there). There are just some quite light reporting︁ requirements to the US.
From the US perspective if you pay yourself from the US︂ LLC it is called a distribution.
Then depending on where you live this distribution can︃ be treated in different ways. There are many places where there is legally or de︄ facto no tax on distributions from US LLCs. And other places where it s best︅ to create a PE/substance in a different country than where you live. And of course︆ high tax western countries where they would tax distributions from your US LLC as if︇ you had a local company.
Another thought is that if you earn around 300k USD,︈ you could pay yourself a 200k salary, and still pay no tax in the UAE︉ using your UAE company. 200k is quite reasonable as salary for a founder/CEO of a︊ successful small business. I think you d be fine with regards to GAAR rules.

Yes, you do not want to be tax resident in Singapore.
Sorry to be unprecise. What I mean is that it you︀ read FSIE, you ignore it. It is something that does not apply to your situation.︁ You can ask, but please do not waste your time with discussing and thinking about︂ FSIE regulations as it has nothing to do with active trading .
In Singapore it can. Also we︃ do not know where OP lives. He may be travelling on which case Singapore is︄ a good fit.
To be honest I would not recommend this. He has a director which︉ is not him.

Ok i got it, you are relying on the fact that SG will not consider the company tax resident because the lack of substance while at the same time appears to EU that the company is tax resident in SG because of the place of incorporation.
It surely can work but be aware that this loophole could be closed like Cyprus did last year.
This also is a big factor
BTW will you be ale to open a bank account for a SG︀ non resident company?

From what we know, there is also not substance in Europe. The rules for Singapore are that you cannot remit the revenue from outside Singapore to Singapore. You can even have a PE in Singapore under certain circumstances.
Yes, it︀ really depends on the circumstances of OP. But he states that he is not the︁ director, I see not much problems with Singapore.
Yes.

Maybe I missed something... your income is USD 300k (so this will be your company income right?) in UAE the first AED 375k of profit︀ (emphasis on the word "Profit" not income) are exempted, so about USD 100k.
remaining is︁ USD 200k . I assume you have some expenses (corporate but also personal that you︂ can invoice under the company like traveling, F&B,etc..) let's say USD 50k per year.
then are you are living in a country with territorial tax, you can pay yourself at︃ least USD 150k per year which wouldn't be considered as exaggerated.. either as a freelancer︄ (you send your invoice to the company) or salary (as director of the company for︅ exemple).
at the end, as I assume you do not have any customers in UAE︆ so no VAT, you have absolutely no tax. even better you do not need to︇ pay the fees to close the company and open a new one somewhere else. nor︈ the struggle to choose a new jurisdiction that you don't know at all.
what I︉ am missing? it looks like you are stressing out for nothing

That may all be︆ true but he wants 0%!!! Just plain and simple 0%!!! No questions??? No nothing to︇ do. Where to get it?????
In all honesty this thread has provided some great and︈ interesting solutions. If OP doesn't take any of them he can't be helped anyway

I wonder can Cambodia be used? The recent thread was quite in favor. US LLC with a personal account in Cambodia on a business visa? You don't need to live in Cambodia. Pay salary, dividends, buy crypto if you want.
Nothing is tax free, but seems like still non CRS and Cambodian banks don't care if you receive dividends on your account there. You can check the link to the original thread. At the same time Cambodian banks are reputable and modern.
So can anybody estimate the feasibility and cost of such a setup? Form a LLC in Wyoming, single partner. Receive 300k EUR yearly, spend 30k on business expenses, send 270k to personal account in Cambodia.

- is it easy to pull in general?
- initial costs and yearly costs. Do I still need an agent? Costs?︀
- how easy to open an EMI account? Will currenxie work with this setup?
- any US︁ taxes? Reporting?
- any issues that there is no personal income reporting?
