@Mike Forman hi
If I don’t do it from Seychelles and I’ll do it through another company in European country (Boulgaria) I assume will be safer and better?
But again my main concern is the tax residency of myself. How I can (personally) 100% be safe that they will not try to make me tax resident?
1. What If every day after office I’ll be traveling with train to sleep/stay in another country near buy?
Again, the Seychelles or any company invoicing will be from their subcontractor in Italy. So the Seychelles invoice will never reach the Belgium. Belgium company that I’ll be working for will get invoice from the Italian company that is “renting” me to them. Therefore, officially, I’m not working in Belgium (not even in Italy, but only in my Bulgarian company).
2. What if I manage to be only less than 3 months (broken days) in Belgium and then at the total 5 months I resign and leave (need to get to my tax resident country, Singapore)? Am I 100% safe? Why not? It’s just a small job my own company is doing as freelancing.
3. How they can find all these if I just go to a hotel and staying and then flying out often?
4. How Belgium (only??) bypasses all European model and can make someone tax resident if they are only 3 months in the country, or as somebody said just by working officially there, zero days or one day per year even never in Belgium.
5. What if another country (Bulgaria, Singapore) will have me as tax resident because I comply (183 days per year in)? How can this happen? Where I will he required to pay worldwide income? To both??
6. so if normally I’ll become a tax resident there I should pay the 45% tax of my company Income, correct? I was told that many people work in belgium with the same model and never pay tax as European citizens (because invoicing other subcontractor companies through their European conpanies, / they proposed me to do the same, invoicing the Italian subcontractor of belgium conpany with my Bulgarian company). Again l, I believe that I will have to pay tax for this (correct?? This is imoortant because lowers the amount and then does NOT WORTH all this),and they might consider the Bulgarian company as tax resident of belgium too (I can decide for the schema - nominee or everything myself director and shareholder).
6. What would you do in my case? Give up and forget the job? As I have other important income, investments, etc I don’t want get any risk at all. I would like to do it for the experience not for the money only.
Thank you
