I run a business where I receive almost all my income in crypto and currently pay no taxes. The business is growing, and I’m stacking more and more BTC every month. I recently moved to a low-tax country and am declaring part of my income there, but I’m concerned about the legal security of my business and personal liability. Right now, I’m receiving payments as an individual due to the favorable tax regime in my new country.

One of my main concerns with stacking BTC in my physical wallet is that I don’t have reports proving when I "bought" these BTC. In the future, if I ever want to cash out, this could be a major issue. I strongly believe Bitcoin is the future and one of the best investments out there, but I also worry about not diversifying. I do hold some USDT too—can anyone recommend a good way to earn yield on it without KYC and without risks?

I’ve considered setting up an offshore company to reduce risks, but my concern is that if my current country of residence finds out, they could claim that I control the company from here and require me to pay taxes locally. Would it be better to create an offshore company structure, or should I just keep things simple and continue stacking BTC? I live a very frugal life, needing only 1-2k euros per month to be happy.

Well, to be honest if you are doing tax fraud, you will sooner it later have issues. Unless of course if you keep all in bitcoins.

The least you should do is use 5 wallets and then declare the income from one of them, like 20% of the income. At least then, you have a proof that you earned the money and paid taxes on it. You would then be able to cash out with 5 different banks, showing each of the the tax paid.

However, it would be better to do all legal and move to even lower tax countries or a place where the risk is low. Like ruining a US LLC from a country that does not care about you ruining a company from there.

I moved to this new country because it has a good agreement with my country of origin regarding double taxation and potential issues with tax residency. However, which country would you recommend for this? Maybe for next year.

I would urgently get myself a company somewhere where there is no income tax for companies (Estonia and Latvia for ecample) and move all activity into the company. This way it all has a trace and is not taxed as far as you pay dividends.
You can pay a salary for somebody (yourself) not tax resident in that country in the abovementioned cases.
You can also own most of the things you want on the company.

Thank you. Do you have experience with clients like OP? I mean entrepreneurs that operate in a niche where customers prefer paying with crypto? Have you handled and such clients in the past and what were they doing? Maybe, if you have a good list of such activities, we could convince OP to invest in you?
