I have finally saved enough money to start investing. What company gives good, diversified access to stock, ETFs and mutual funds? Does it make sense to use company like Vanguard or Fidelity for that? I’m a EU/Poland citizen, how would I transfer my money back and forth without incurring significant fees?

Hey guys, here’s a question I’ve been asking nomads I meet everywhere, but still haven’t found good information. My startups mostly focus on american and european markets but I don’t have a registered company, nor I live permanently on any of these countries.

I get the cash payments online in paypal (or adsense) and transfer it to Thailand (or Malaysia, or Bali, or Brazil, or wherever I’m at). The thing is… for low volume living expenses it seems fine, but as I scale the business, I’m starting to think more and more about fiscal law.

A fellow nomad told me to transfer it to Singapore, Hong Kong or The Virgin Islands, and then use an international credit card anywhere. I don’t know if it’s the best way to optimize this… any ideas?

Also, could there be any problems in selling to these countries without a registered local company?

Which is your favourite country in the world to incorporate and why?

I have a product that I plan to retail in the EU, Japan, the USA, Canada and New Zealand. Where should I incorporate?

Baku, Azerbaijan v.s. Tbilisi, Georgia
What are the pros and cons of both destinations for an new digital nomad ?

Hey guys, I’m Mike and I’m in the process of moving to Thailand right now, I plan to register my company in Hong Kong and I heard there’s 16.5% taxes from some people and some people told me they pay 0% taxes…

What’s true here?

How much taxes do you actually pay in HK?

Thanks!

At this moment I am traveling the world. It has been a year since I have unsubscribed form the Netherlands and just keep on wanting to travel. I love the way I am living now but I do prefer to have a “home” base. And I think the best thing todo is get residency in a country where they are not counting the days you are there and has a territorial tax system.

My picks are:
Costa Rica, Panama, Malaysia

My question is however, because I am not going to be there alot I think its a waste of money to rent a appartment for 1500 or so per mont. Especially if I consider that my home address where I will be receiving bank docs etc I also do not want to have that sent to a sketchy home.

Do you happen to know a solution to this? For example would it be possible to have my home address at a Regus virtual office so that my mail will be handeled as wel?

I know the best option is to buy a house but that would be a very expensive mailbox
Hope somebody could help me on this!

I’ve been looking for some good tax advisors that specialize in international tax planning with no success. Seems like these guys work mostly with big corporations and not freelancers.

I’ve found some answers but since this is a lot of money in terms of taxes, I want to be sure and consult some professional first.

Topic to discuss are:

• where to incorporate to lower taxes with consideration to having good banking and payment processors options (Stripe, Braintree availability)
• does IP/patent tax regime also apply for software development consultancy? Example: Luxembourg has about 5% tax for IP related income vs 29% for anything else
• tax treaties
• advanced tax ruling options
• risk of big tax policy changes
• best method to pay myself: dividends vs salary with consideration to visa policies, tax rates and "anti disguised employment” laws in specific countries

This stuff is not trivial.
