UK resident with clients in the US. What the best setup for a dual citizen?

[CaptK]

Do you think I would even have to live in DR for the 182 days to be considered tax resident in the DR? I'm a DR citizen and there is a tax treaty between DR and Spain that says I am resident wherever I have my vital interests and permanent home. I have property and all my family in the DR, while I have nothing in Spain, not even a bank account.

The only thing that ties me to Spain, in this case, is that I'm living a nomadic life (spending 0 days in Spain, and a month in DR) using my Spanish passport. I also have a Spanish pre-paid phone that I only use for WhatsApp and top up every month.

Thoughts?

No, wherever you want so long as you don’t receive any money from the DR then you are not liable for tax.

Thanks for your reply...

Could Spain, in theory, give me a nudge and ask me where I've been paying tax?

search the forum for Spain, especially the comments from @Martin Everson may interest you, according to the what I read, Spain is a no go.

It doesn’t matter where his clients are. The only thing that matters is where he is. (Assuming he doesn’t have nexus in the US.)
So once he lives in the UK, he can work for US clients exclusively and would still not be paying any US taxes. Not even if he used a US LLC.

Not even if sent to a US bank, correct?
