Hi,
I apologise if this was answered before, I found a lot of pieces of information but I am not sure if they fit together to make one nice puzzle. Could you guys help me?
1. I am based in Australia, non-US citizen
2. I want to find a structure where I can invest into Forex via a broker without this becoming apparent/official/notified. I do not want to offer any services, just trade with one of the many brokers
3. Utilise the returns via a credit card - not necessarily for cash but mainly for everyday shopping etc (stuff is bloody expensive in OZ)
Profits are likely to be $500 - $2000 per month so not really big numbers.
Could you tell me if the below model is safe from detection/anonymous for my purpose:
So my idea so far is:
1. Wyoming LLC via a nominee/agent
2. Offshore (non-US, non-AUS based) broker
3. Puerto Rico bank account for the LLC with VISA/MC to syphon the profits - or Transferwise?
4. use credit card in supermarkets here or on travels etc, possibly for cash but that is nice to have
So my questions are:
- Is this a structure that is CRS/FATCA safe (for the time being) ?
- do I need a licence for this? I am not providing any services other than investing via a forex broker
- does it remain anonymous or do I get identified after the first year (tax return in US) and it all falls over because AUS authorities find out from IRS ?
Thanks - and sorry again if someone answered this before, I am happy to get pointers to find the right forum entries!!!
