DIGITAL NOMAD TAX ADVICE ♡ THE NOMAD CAPITALIST

[@sofiesworld]

omg i needed this! being a dual citizen i have NO idea if i should pay taxes in BOTH countries or just the one i live/work in? so confusing! i loved watching this, thanks so much Louise!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Yay so glad you enjoyed it. Yeah it's DEFINITELY worth asking some smart questions to find out where you fit (or where you want to fit). A few phone calls or a bit of research could save you a heck of a lot of money. Not a bad hourly rate ;)

[@DanicaChristin]

I had some US colleagues when I was living and working and Switzerland. They told me that they earned less than the threshold (99k/year if I remember it correctly) and therefore didn't have to pay taxes in the US BUT still had to file a tax return in the US. Apparently it's a criminal offence not to file but I'm really not an expert. If you do some research you will know what exactly you need to do.

[@sofiesworld]

Yes! Thanks so much, Danica!

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Thanks for the tips Danica!!

[@jalabi99]

"Go to where you're treated the best." Excellent advice!

[@jojohehe3251]

I really admire the way Andrew speaks. And you asked great questions and let him go - really good interviewing technique. Wonderful video.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Wow thank you so much - that is a really lovely compliment :) Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@MackenzieFly]

This video was sooo helpful for me! I'm just getting started on my journey and I'm definitely going to use this video moving forward. Thank you!

Andrew, great video. I can't believe this video is almost 3 years old! Thanks to you also for having Andrew on Digital Nomad Girl.

[@shanash1]

So good! I love Andrew's videos (mostly), but this combo--with you--is great! Now, to figure out what's best for me...

[@digitalnomadgirl]

So glad you enjoyed it! He's a fascinating guy and so knowledgeable! Yeah that's definitely the tricky part.... sorting out a tailored situation :) It seems like one of the most important questions is how much you're making, and where you're willing to live.

[@shanash1]

I know where I want to live (Portugal), and iI'm hoping to take advantage of the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) programme. I don't mind paying some taxes, but lifestyle/quality of life is the most important factor for me. I'd like to get out from under my obligations to the U.S., that's for sure! :)

[@phylliskhare]

Same here. Two favorite people together in one video. Almost ready for his official advice.

[@shanash1]

Hi Phyllis! I recognize you--we follow one another on Twitter :) Would love to know more about where you plan to move to.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Totally agree! It's always a balance of lifestyle vs tax bill. In many ways having a life you love is priceless!!

For US citizens the foreign earned income tax exclusion kicks in if you are out of the country for at least 330 days out of a 12 month period, but it gets tricky. best to hire a tax professional

[@munnybunny]

As a US citizen would you know if it's advantageous to incorporate yourself as a S corp if you earn over the FEIE limit? Say you earn 155k/yr and the FEIE covers 105k of the salary you pay yourself. The remaining 50k you then "distribute" to yourself from the corporation and would also be tax exempt? If I understand it correctly.

[@DanicaChristin]

Thank you so much for this video, very helpful! So far I have almost always paid taxes in the country that I was living in as I tend to say stay for longer periods (years) plus I usually work for a local employer.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

So glad you enjoyed it! Working for a local employer definitely makes taxes a lot simpler/less flexible. Are you still staying in places for that long? I got the impression you were moving around quite a lot at the moment!

[@DanicaChristin]

Digital Nomad Girl For the last year no, I've only been travelling, not working. Before that I was 3 years in Australia, then 3 years in Switzerland. I'll probably start working again in November/December but again only for 12 months or so, will most likely get a job in Africa or Asia.

[@battlebuddy8076]

whats the best option for a digital Day trader that travels or live mainly overseas ??

It depends which countries you are in, for how long, how much you earn, and where you are willing to move to. So a lot of questions! If you'd like to hire Andrew for advice he is: nomads.lpages.co/apply/

[@barrelierj]

Hi i am wondering this, If I am Panamanian and I have a LLC in New Mexico US doing FBA in Amazon, but I dont have US residency neither citizenship, I live in Panama from where I come from.... Do I have to pay taxes in US ? as Panama is a territorial tax country.... Could give some advises.

[@larcat6548]

i have a question: lets say youre from asia and you have big businesses there, then you invest in europe and you invest in property there that earn and hire a property manager to handle all local taxes there. if you invest in the eb5 investment program of the usa and after some time pass all the requirements and can become a us citizen. if you decide to become a us citizen, will the us irs also tax your businesses in europe and asia even if they are already being taxed where they are?

[@marieaustin10]

In my situation. I rang HMRC and they told me as I am out of the country for (x) amount of time then I am not liable to pay tax to them in the UK. I was told by HMRC to keep an eye on which countries I am in at what time. If I am settled in a foreign country for (x required) amount of time I might need to pay some tax there. But since we move around every few weeks and don't live anywhere right now... We're not currently liable to pay tax to anyone at all. At least, they is my understanding. But it's super confusing.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Awesome!! That's great news :D Yeah a lot of nomads aren't liable anywhere which is a pretty crazy situation :) Government definitely hasn't caught up with the modern world yet....

[@tryirish]

But did they tekl you still had to file a tax return in the UK despite not liable for tax?

[@vladimirkovalev1990]

While this may sound reasonable, there are known cases of people in a similar situation being forced to pay UK income tax because they never obtained a tax residency anywhere else. As a result, HMRC concluded that they were liable to pay UK tax. Usually, people obtain a tax residency in a tax-heaven to avoid this kind of issues. I am a digital nomad myself and my plan is to get a tax residency in Panama via the friendly nations visa. Panama has a territorial tax regime which means you don't pay income tax on earnings received from outside of Panama.

@@digitalnomadgirl loved this colab with Andrew. Did the interview happen in Serbia? I’ve just recently discovered your channel but you don’t seem to be posting videos anymore, hope you return soon. Take care! Joseph (U.K.)

[@dominicway3584]

Really interesting comment. I’ve just started the digital nomad life, and I’m moving countries every 3 months returning to UK perhaps for 1 month a year. So my job is trading the international markets known as spread betting ( this is also tax free in UK) I also trade my share trading ISA’s which again is tax free in UK. I earn enough to look after myself, but nothing north of six figures sterling. I’m assuming from your input that I can live a tax free life. It’s very much a grey area , but a little clearer now. Cheers Marie, and I’m now a follower.

Hi. I am planning on doing a video soon about insurance so will let you know on that :) I think in life sometimes you have to take some eye rolling as part of the way the world works! I'd try to find a nice easy way to explain what you do that doesn't raise as many red flags! Hope that helps :) p.s. we love Serbia!

Item arrives in croatia...Croatian post assume it a "mistake" and send it to serbia...oldest trick in the book

[@tryirish]

I am an Irish citizen.starting a 100k salary job that will require 48% in tax to be deducted. Could I set up a pass through entity in Ireland and request my company that my gross salary be paid into that so that I only pay 12.5 corporation tax? Have you recommended this structure for nationals working in Ireland?

[@Kingofmolotov]

Gary Phelan obviously the 12.5 % is not the final tax you'll end paying. You got setup and accounting costs for the company. How will you get out the money to transfer it to your personal level? As dividend payouts with you as the sole owner? Suspicous. And why would your company give you tasks (as you're no longer employed)? The tasks you perform you'll be held liable if you fuck up. You'll need to pay all your social contributions yourselves.

[@krisbroholm]

I'm fairly sure most countries would consider you liable for tax if you are a citizen and don't have tax liability anywhere else (i.e by virtue of spending less than 183 days in any given place). What you can do, I suppose, is set up something in a tax haven or places with territorial tax laws, but I've no idea how to do that.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

Yes I think it's prudent to have tax residency somewhere rather than nowhere - but it depends how cautious you are. A lot of nomads have residency nowhere and it's technically allowed. Up to each person I guess :)

Haha - for sure! I think that holds true up until a certain income bracket and then you need to be more careful.... don't want to end up with massive fines!! But I also agree some people are waaaaay over thinking it and getting structures far too complicated for what they earn.

It easy if you stay longer then 180day in a ,, most ,,country You are a tax residence in that country . And on top of that If your unlucky enough to be a AUSTRALIA . Then the income you Get from AUSTRALIA . Will be taxed like a foreigner investor. And they will tax you at the maximum rate of 48% . So I stay less than 180 days in any country . Then move to another country

It's really simple. Just pay tax in your home country. So what if you pay tax and you don't live there? You are still contributing to society at home and not severing your ties either. Whenever I am asked about my residency I just say my home country.

[@digitalnomadgirl]

But where is "home"? Where you spend most of your time, where you're born, where you feel happiest, where your parents live, where you last had a Doctor appointment? It's a tough question!

[@9Crow]

In America there are two classes or more of citizens. State of the union citizens and us citizens. Are you a us citizen they will ask. Well how are you defining that? I'm from the state I was born in so yes I'm a us citizen or state of the union citizen same thing. The difference lies in the federal territory District of Columbia vs the state. All us citizens must pay income tax and the bill of rights which applies to the state of the union citizens does not apply to us citizens a us citizen does not have the same rights as a state citizen only mere privileges and benefits the only right a us citizen has is to reside in the untited states and has the benefits of paying income tax and going to jail when told to do so. 55% or so of Americans do not owe income tax nor do they pay any. You can be a us national too. The United States is not a Country nor do we have a President it is a foreign corporation owned by The Crown and its CEO is Donald Trump and he was appointed by Queen ElizardBETH! We have a DeFacto government not a dujour government for the people and by the people we are a common law Country. George Washington Thomas Jefferson were not us citizens that term us citizen didn't exist then. The IRS is a foreign Corporation it is not a government agency. They are identifying you as the corporate straw man not the man living soul. You don't have to leave to Country you just need to find out who you are if you are a us citizen corporate fiction lost at sea or the living soul and etc...and correct your status.
