Love Nomad. I have been watching the channel for some time. The main thing is the message and Andrew certainly gets the message out.

[@rawadventures9597]

Great stuff, here's a friendly video editing tip; create a spaces for people to think, especially when changing context or topic - this allows for people to summarize your message before being introduced to something different. Yes, internet videos are "faster" than linear media; but there's still a need to emphasize context switching, think of it as a paragraph in a text. Again, good stuff.

Would like to hear about domiciling a company vs creating a holding company for management/IP/Royalty fees etc.

[@HyggeJourney]

Yes, that would be a great topic!

[@coyoteattention]

This is an incredibly complex topic. Domiciling is easy you basically agree to fulfill certain regulatory requirements. Redomiciling is very expensive and risky for certain changes. Staffing companies are fairly easy but they usually create a permanent establishment and you owe taxes based on the proportional share of revenue so you want to hire in low tax places. Your goal is generally to make as much of your business royalty income (Apple has an IP company that contracts with an engineering division to buy the design patent. The sales office leases the IP and sends it to manufacturing. The manufacturing business is barely profitable.) You also need a business purpose other than just lowering taxes.

[@deanopumpkin]

Yes, pls do a video on the process of moving everything

[@nathanjenkins8731]

It depends on the jurisdictions involved. Even within the US you can't relocate your business to another state in all cases. Most states allow you to basically pass a resolution with the shareholders and just move to another state. But sometimes you have to completely dissolve one corporation and sell its assets to another corporation. Many of the traditional tax havens have provisions to allow you to re-shore your business. This is the best option as usually the business assets have already been taxed and since the company is continuing you will only pay an exit tax if your jurisdiction has specifically written an exit tax. You will then have to pay an exit tax as a shareholder. But get the reshoring wrong and you can forfeit your IP since there will no longer be someone who can legally license the IP.

Woa! CFC is usually ownership and economic ties based. Hiring a paper CEO does not mean you have adequate ties to Estonia to avoid CFC. And Spain may tax you if the work is actually done there.

[@masterneme]

@@coyoteattention That's why I wouldn't have a paper CEO, I want a legitimate functioning business with real employees. And that's a problem, where do you find trustworthy people for that role, and wanting to live in Estonia, which AFAIK is very cold most of the year?

[@dbongo1]

For individual consultant set up as a "C" corp, which countries offers the best combination of low corp & personal tax rates?

[@coyoteattention]

You have to think holistically. You must consider VAT, corporate income, personal income, and payroll taxes. What percent of the business income goes to salaries? Ideally you live a trifecta so you personally don't trigger income tax and get a work visa in Macau (any income earned is taxed so you only have to spend like one day a year to answer where you pay taxes.) Incorporate someplace like Ireland.

What if the country taxes the business because business is being conducted in that country itself, even though you have registered and the headquarters* are offshore

[@nathanjenkins8731]

That is why you isolate and have a business rather than being a one man show. I'm a tutor so I can't just charge clients $100/hr and hire talent for $20/hr. Sure I can deduct some things like marketing, but the tax authorities will assume that most of the client rate is attributable to the staffing company with the tutors.

[@rogerbrugger]

You got the point where these structures sound good on paper/video but will expose you to a huge tax risk of you dont have enough substance in the country where you want to be taxed. Tax authorities will analyze exactly these set-ups and when they identify that the parent entity is located in a tax haven then they will assess very closely how you attribute revenues and profits. Maybe that small mark up should not be 3% but maybe rather 15%...

If the company HQ is in UAE - as an American citizen, do you have to file a business tax return with the IRS?

[@jeffrey4459]

Always. Anywhere in the world. Only way to get out of the US tax system is to renounce your citizenship. This is why Nomad Capitalist has so much on second (and third, and fourth …) citizenship paths. And the US FACTA law requires oversees banks to report banking details of US citizens to the IRS.

[@nathanjenkins8731]

@@jeffrey4459 You are mistaken. If the business is incorporated overseas and you are careful not to actually manage the company from the US and you do not do business in the US then the business itself does not need to file US tax returns. However, if you are a US citizen or permanent resident you will have to file tax returns. If you own the business fully you will still have to comply with FATCA and FBAR since you will be the beneficial owner, but all of this will be personal tax forms not business tax forms.

[@jeffrey4459]

@@nathanjenkins8731 As the original question is stated, he is an American citizen. So your saying that if he’s careful in how he manages it, then he doesn’t have to report it is entirely incorrect. If an American citizen owns an overseas business, that business and all banking activities must be reported to the IRS. Depending on whether it’s an Association Taxable As A Corporation, Partnership or Disregarded Entity will determine HOW it should be reported (via form 8832). If people could avoid the US tax system so easily, there would be no need to renounce citizenship. But the reality is, as an American citizen, if you do business anywhere in the world, you are required by law to report those activities to the IRS and UAE banks are FACTA-compliant. Ask a reputable accountant and the IRS directly.

[@coyoteattention]

I think we are not understanding each other. Your point seems to be that as a US citizen you always have complex reporting requirements. My point is that businesses are separate legal persons so they may have different reporting requirements than a natural person.

[@jeffrey4459]

@@coyoteattention SOME businesses are separate entities for tax purposes, that is correct. Others, like LLC’s and their equivalent overseas, are pass-through entities. Regardless, to open an oversees business and bank account, you need to provide your passport. If you’re a US citizen, your details will automatically be provided to the IRS by the UAE and their banking institutions as they are FACTA-compliant. So whether Ashley has to file a separate business tax return is entirely dependent upon the type of entity created. If it’s a pass-through entity, like a US LLC, then a separate tax return isn’t required. But to my point, if an American citizen has a foreign company, that absolutely has to be reported to the IRS. There is no wiggle room to that.

All professionals must abide by professional ethics and use their professional judgement. Even a thorough audit won't catch a contract that is kept off the books, so there is no way to guarantee someone isn't trying to dodge creditors. But most people don't start a 7 figure business overnight so there will either be tax returns showing salaries, inheritances, etc. You just search for public reviews of the company. As far as scammer, people have different ideas of what constitutes a scam. You can take 2% of someone's estate every year as a trustee, but this is perfectly legal business practice. Again a scammer likely won't have a long business history.

At 51 seconds into this video you say “Let’s say you live in the United States where I live…” and yet in countless other of your videos, you have made that statement that you gave up your US citizenship and that you live outside the United States. So which is it? If you truly gave up your US citizenship, you’re not “living in the United States,“ certainly not legally, unless you have a green card, which basically would vitiate the reason for giving up US citizenship in the first place. I suppose you could have entered the United States on a non-immigrant visa like an L1, but if after such entry, you remained in the United States to the point that you “lived in the United States“ that would almost certainly completely subject you to at least US federal income taxation (of course the standard that subjects you to US federal transfer taxation is completely different). I don’t care where you live, or of what state you are a national (in this context, the word state of course, means country), but you just need to be honest and not make a definitive statement on one show that is in complete contravention to many statements you have made in other shows.
