    Setting up a Dellaware corporation to do my trading

    A site with lots of good info. http://www.panamalaw.org/ US CITIZENS BEWARE: you must always report and pay taxes on any structure or bank account you own worldwide to the IRS. EVERYONE BEWARE: this site has good info, but I have no good or bad references about their services. Most of...

    Setting up a Dellaware corporation to do my trading

    That report is potentially misleading. Panamanian offshore structures cannot engage in trading in Panama itself. Outside Panama you can do whatever the local laws allow. There are also some restrictions on Panama foundations, that's why I would use one of them just as a holding company, and...

    Setting up a Dellaware corporation to do my trading

    Yes it can do that. You don't even report its earnings to anyone. Remember, you don't OWN a panama foundation, just CONTROL it. If you want to pass the foundation to your heirs, zero inheritance taxes. If someone sues you for whatever, or you get into a nasty divorce, no one can seize the...

    Setting up a Dellaware corporation to do my trading

    As I said, the key is not only to avoid tax liabilities. You also have to avoid reporting liabilities. It saves headaches and legal trouble, not to mention unexpected changes in the law. Suppose they change the laws, if you report they inmediately get you because they know where you have your...

    Setting up a Dellaware corporation to do my trading

    C-corps are not useful for foreign citizens, as they file their own tax return and pay taxes on their profits to the IRS, even if its owner is not US. S-corps, on the other hand, do not pay taxes. As LLCs, they have passthrough taxation, but only US citizens or residents are allowed to own...

    Setting up a Dellaware corporation to do my trading

    Hi Daal Please excuse the rude answers from other ET members. They should encourage and facilitate foreign investment into their own country. First LLCs: For tax avoidance, incorporation in the US does not work well. The LLC is useful for asset protection, meaning that if you engage in a...

    European Broker - NONE PATSYSTEM

    AFAIK if you trade with MAN, you can also use MTrade/RANorder. This platform doesn't erase orders or positions after market close. GTC is GTC and GTD is GTD. Excellent for multi-day trades, but it's clunky and takes a while to get used to. Not good for hyperactive in and an out. I am assuming...

    Trading to fund sudden huge medical fee for a family member-Just burnt 1st trade a/c

    Just to join other ET members' good advice: Don't trade. Buy lottery tickets if you want, but don't trade. Actually your odds are better in a casino than the forex market. To trade properly, you should not care about the money. Don't trade thinking about paying bills, medical or...

    Swiss Banks

    Micheloud opens swiss accounts with Credit Suisse. What you get for their CHF 1199 fee is lower account minimums (half off) for free banking, and not having to travel to der Schweiz. Otherwise there is no advantage, you could just drop by at a branch, open a non-resident account with CHF 10,000...

    No citizenship, no country, no taxes?

    Doing the PT thing is increasingly difficult. EU countries have modified recently their tax rules to close the perpetual traveler loophole. Under the new rules, if you don't spend more than 183 days anywhere, then you are taxed wherever you own your house, if you have no house, you are taxed...
