A bit lost... someone can help me :)

It's certainly legal. It's how all the big companies like Apple etc reduce their taxes. But you would want to consult a professional to make it legit. You have to consider transfer pricing laws etc.

curious, do you think it is possible for a small company to get approved for a Transfer Pricing model of your business by the tax office? or do you need to be a big Company (smaller than Google) to do so?

I see no reason a company of any size couldn't do so (but as always, consult a professional). Laws generally don't specify company size etc so the same laws that apply to Google would apply to a small family business. It's more a question of viability. Do the additional savings of doing so outweigh the additional costs.

This is something many should think about before they start thinking of to setup a offshore Company at all!

AEOI is between the bank and the Tax Authority and not between Registry and Tax Authority.

Exactly, so if the EMI reports to the Tax Authority, things are screwed up and setup is not working.
