    Good, cheap and simple VOIP cloud software/app?

    We're trialling Teams Call. Its pretty good price that allows many users to share a single outbound number. Inbound calls can be routed via a menu, which also stops a lot of spam calls. its very complex to setup, documentation is awful and SMS features take 6 weeks to get approved. We've...

    Own Delaware LLC vs through offshore corp?

    I mean that as we don't do business with people in Gibraltar all our income is foreign sourced, and therefore under the tax exempt category.

    Gibraltar companies are a nice option which is tax free when foreign owned.

    Unannounced change of policy at Bunq

    Yes the did release our money. And I get the perception about tax authorities in Europe being untouchable but when you look under the covers you find they lose a lot of tax cases. We may even front an industry case against the EU for their new short term rental taxes which haven't followed due...

    Cheapest jurisdiction to incorporate company with no income, very minimal risk?

    Not to my knowledge. OP doesn't want banking. But you can get banking for Eswatini companies with neo banks just not in Lilangeni. The local Swazi banks are pretty screwed (I've spoken with all up to CEO level) as they don't follow the government rules which allow and encourage foreign...

    They did transfer our money to other EU accounts very quickly and they did wipe some fees. Nothing to compensate for the hassle though.

    I tend to agree @Martin Everson. I'll be reporting them to the regulator and have begun the negative PR you mentioned. They know who I am, and who my network is (which includes the French President and about 100,000 social followers) and they still chose to take this approach. They tried...

    Unannounced change of policy at Bunq

    Bunq opened our accounts knowing we were new residents in France, accepted our foreign passports and tax idents, and proceeeded to allow us to use the accounts for 1.5 years. Its only a few, small personal accounts that rarely do more than €500 a month in expenditure. We are not required to...

    Unannounced change of policy at Bunq

    Who has time for French tax authorities? While they have some of the smartest strategic thinking in Europe concerning taxation their implementation is awful. We run a business here and when their decisions are questioned or we highlight their mistakes with references to their own website and...
