I feel the need to comment on this video. I truly want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, i have tried to do understand what would be the best country to move my business to and you explained everything in a beautifully simple way. thank you. PLEASE do more of these.
Hello from Cyprus from a big fan of your channel! Most big companies are registered in Limassol (southwest coast) or Nicosia (the capital) but a few are also based in Larnaka, my hometown. Cyprus is also considered a safe place with a very good living standard, and a good place to raise a family, so foreigners do enjoy life here :) p.s. population of cats is estimated at approximately 2 million, so roughly double the population of humans 😃
Establishment of Estonian company is much cheaper. E residency 120 euro, company registration 265-290 euro. Online bank account from zero to 50 euro. But also you need to include to your budget annual fees to the service provider which will cover accounting etc. it's from 700 euro per year.
Cyprus also has the IP box tax exemption so if you have an IT, SAAS or software company you can reduce the company tax rate form 12.5% down to 2.5%, its also non dom status,
Interesting video, I currently have my business locate din the UAE and just deciding whether to keep it there and relocate, the idea of the IOM is very appealing, so thank you. I am now investigating this.
For the vast majority of people living in western world countries establishing a company outside of their country of residency is not an option if they don't plan to build actual real substance there. CFC rules, management and control rules and permanent establishment rules exist in the majority of developed countries and each year that passes more dificultes appears for tax optimisation... I know the field well as I help people on building international structures and relocating abroad and I moved myself from Spain to Cyprus and I think is important to say that those rules exists and people should analyze carefully their personal tax situation as normally for real tax benefits you have to move yourself
Thanks for adding this @jfarras ! That's awesome, hope Cyrpus is treating you well. Georgia and Isle of Man also potentials for those open to physically moving. I have added links to specialists in each as there's certainly more to it than I could cover here.
@@jfarras so lets say if I live in Poland but setup a company in Cyprus, would that cause any control of management rules? A shell company for example with an offshore bank account
@@mildes6392 if you are the one directing the company yes, and not only that, permanent establishment and cfc rules will kick in too if you are the only person in the company. I have videos about that in my channel if you are interested
As an IT-consultant I have to consider more factors than just base tax rates. Cyprus, Isle of Main etc may have good tax rates, but how is to hire people there, is it easy to find skilled personal, how is it to live there, how are their English skills? For my sector I have been looking at Bulgaria and Romania, with low flat taxes, interesting cities and what seems to be skilled workers with good English skills. It would be interesting to know more about them though.
Great video, Dan! The biggest challenge for non-residents selling into the U.S. with a U.S. LLC is determining if you are engaged in a U.S. trade or business and have U.S. sourced effectively connected income, which is only determined by analysis. The challenge is that you will get different opinions on this subject depending on which U.S. tax attorney or CPA does your returns. Non-resident entities should evaluate whether a U.S. protective return should be filed or U.S. tax must be paid by going through the same evaluation process.
Estonia is way over promoted. I am in process of closing my Estonian company. Way to much. everything is expensive. Accounting, taxes.... Even closing it cost around 2000 euros
@@DanRodgers to be honest i had to search for this in the internet and i was amazed too by the numbers!! I know we do have many stray cats but you dont get to see that many in the streets like the pictures on the internet shows. I mean you dont walk down town and you see cats everywhere!! You will make me count from now on how many cats i see in the streets!! As for the low taxes, yes, that is definetely true and we have so many offshore companies here now. Some have only their companies just registered here or they have offices too. Especially in a town called Limassol. At first it was just Russians but now its from all over the world. We are talking big money and not always legal ofcourse. If you ever need any info or help from here let me know.

One really important thing you missed is economic substance requirements. You could set up shop or move your business somewhere, but if you dont have economic substance tax authorities from country of origin or residency will scrutinate what you've done and claim taxes plus panelties. Its not that easy, especially in the EU and with more complex business lets say software that is licensed. If you self employed person than indeed probably a bit easier.
Dan. Which one would you pick amongst Isle of Man, Jersey Island and Guernsey? I mean they are all Crown dependencies and all are tax free for corporations.
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me with my decision and I decided for Estonia. Just one question: Can you recommend any service provider for Estonia? Comistar does only offer consultation but not the service of opening and maintaining the company. Thanks you so much!!
You mentioned for Isle of Man that you would pay UK corporate taxes if you reside in the UK but what if you reside in Ireland since Ireland is not part of the UK?
Take care, if the goal for forming the company is Amazon FBA, the required "utility bill" may be a problem. From my own experience, as an Estonian e-residency holder (and company owner), Amazon doesn't recognize the "legal contact address", and one is forced to actually rent a physical shared space to get the required utility bill.
In my case that i am a Cyprus resident it was enough for them, the legal contact address and bank account. They never asked for a utility bill. I just got a pin number in my physical address and provided it back to them. But i do know situations that they asked for a utility bill.
This is what we experience with our clients when the Amazon account is set up properly, a utility bill is not required. The challenge is most seller make a simple mistake that requires extra verification@@marchri32
❤ thanks for time n info. Isle man best for uk. ,,but dam uk still use ways to keep you 20% unless uou out country 183+ days grrrr, further researching
Good information, I've been researching this and like the idea of Dubai, sole trader - Game Dev, no company, 0% income tax ;). Operating as a company in Isle of Man, Distributed Profit 0% - is this directors dividends? If so that Could be an option for me.
GCC countries have corporate tax rates ranging from 9% to 20%. There are some exceptions based on applicable tax treaties. For example, a Saudi citizen pays half the normal 15% corporate tax rate in Kuwait. In other words, if you are from Saudi Arabia, you only pay 7.5% tax on corporate profits in Kuwait. Unfortunately, there is no tax treaty between Kuwait and the US, and US citizens must pay the full 15%.

Safe place? Financially too? Because the 2013 crisis took a lot of money to bank depositors... Government just went too far.

I believe it is not recommended to live in the same country your company is located in. This video is for company incorperation only.
Are the cats rabid/violent?

you can set up iom corp and banking for less. VAT on sales depends in the service. Yes there is a cap in how much an individual pays each each year.
