    Help Needed: Best Country to Establish a Company

    I would then add to the above to find a country where it is relatively easy and cheap to register and file. UK in that sense isn’t the worst as you can do a lot yourself and because of that pricing is very competitive when you outsource it.

    Help Needed: Best Country to Establish a Company

    In sofar I know it never got to a trial. A quick search does tell me that info has been scrubbed. I can barely find anything anymore about that case. He was for quite some time in prison. It's true that he tempted faith. Since then doing business with Cyprus receives a lot of attention in The...

    Help Needed: Best Country to Establish a Company

    The reputation of Cyprus is bad you look through the eyes of Dutch government. The main reason for this is Toine Manders who got arrested in Cyprus in (if I remember correctly) 2014, extradited and prosecuted by the Dutch. Ever since Cyprus is frowned upon.

    Incorporation for non KYC

    I also experience this right now. First time I experienced it was when Cyprus went bankrupt about a decade ago and you had to upload an underlying document for every outbound transaction. Yes, this is not the same as this new USA legislation. Only mentioning it as it is nothing new. More...

    How & Why the EU Can Confiscate Your Wealth If You Can’t Explain It

    The likeliness of being chased depends on your profile and how big of a fish you are to them. Some countries are more difficult than others with regards to their citizens (and sometimes residents). Don't flaunt your wealth (no lambos and all that other bs when you didnt properly declare) and...

    How to Travel Light for a Year-Long Journey Across Europe and Beyond?

    I am one of those. I walk a lot on flip flops. It’s why I can do with less socks The Airboss from RedOxx. Over the years I have tried a lot. Until now, I think that I am most satisfied with this one.

    How to Travel Light for a Year-Long Journey Across Europe and Beyond?

    I used eagle creek myself as well. Until unfortunately the tore at the zipper. I then bought ones from ikea. They also work perfect. The latest cube versions also let you compress your clothes.

    WHT and CIT with Swiss branch

    I am aware of other numbers being used in such cases. Think company registration numbers or LEI numbers. Basically it is a check on whether it is correct to not charge VAT. In one of my previous companies we were forced to have a VAT number (canton of Zug). One of the things that changed at...

    WHT and CIT with Swiss branch

    In so far I am aware you still need a tax number from both seller and client side to apply the zero tax. If a number is missing it is treated as a B2C transaction and then you need to charge Swiss VAT. This is what I always had to deal with with invoices originating from Switzerland to abroad.

    How & Why the EU Can Confiscate Your Wealth If You Can’t Explain It

    I agree with you. The EU and if it’s a big enough of a case, the USA are capable of setting this up.

    Is there any offshore company or trust protecting assets?

    St Kitts being a nightmare banking wise at the moment. Other than that you are on the money. If not mistaken st kitts is grey listed which makes it a nightmare to work with. Only thing with tax authorities is that regardless of who owns it, if they can get their hands on it (real estate or art...
