Friend money transfer via company

[kristiencrimson]

Hello,
I am a sole entrepreneur and have undeclared funds in crypto from long ago.
The country I live in allow to get salaries and payment using crypto.
If I will invoice my friend's company (who lives in another country and have a company there) for my services, but send the payment to myself from my own crypto wallet as if his company paid me and declare tax on it. will anyone ever question or try to investigate if the funds were actually sent from company's crypto wallets or bank account?

If banks / tax organization will need any kind of work agreement with his company I will be able to provide it of course, but I'm curious to know if it is likely that if I just provide service to a 3rd party company, is there any chance they will ask me to ask that company to provide their financial or something of that sort?

or is this a good way to bring my crypto, declare and live happily ever after?

Thanks!

Will you be charging VAT?

Highly unlikely unless company is based somewhere that raises alarms or amounts are huge etc.

Money laundering is never a good idea.

No,

I got 2 options, Cyprus and Dubai

Money laundering is never a good idea.

Money laundering if I am paying the tax?


Sum about 25-30k USD per month - that was the idea at least.

Depends on a multitude of factors.

which ones? what should be considered?

Probably not.

Is that it or do you plan on having multiple 30k months?

If you average 30k months with your regular business, you are not going to have any trouble sneaking a 30k cashout, on the other hand, if you make 50k per year and start pulling out 30k for 12 months straight in crypto, then you are pretty much asking for trouble.

Yes.

A money launderer would be pretty stupid to launder money through a legit business and not pay any taxes.

"Money laundering is the process of illegally concealing the origin of money obtained from illicit activities (often known as dirty money) such as drug trafficking, underground sex work, terrorism, corruption, embezzlement, and gambling, and converting the funds into a seemingly legitimate source, usually through a front organization."

If your funds are clean you would declare them. If you have no source of funds you can still declare them and explain to authorities how this is possible....lol. The fact you are going the money laundering root to conceal the origin of the funds say it all. Actions speak louder than words sadly.
