Go Dubai, pay 0% taxes BUT oh boy it's just a too hot place to be in

So, do not forget the Bahamas! Not so hot, 0% taxes, amazing ocean, lobsters, fishes, friendly smiling people with still genuine values and if you wish culture and many people, in only 35 minutes you are in Miami.

Doesn't sound very hard:

What I know you have to purchase a property. It's the "hardest" part

Ok, basically you just have to invest like 500,000 USD. If you invest 1.5 Mio. USD or more, the whole process will be even faster and you will receive your residency within a few weeks. Nice !

The title of this thread is:
Best European Countries to Trade from

But I understand that for some Americans that's a difficult title.

Bahamas in not in Europe.

To counter future remarks:

Bahamas is not in Europe.

In Estonia you pay 0% Tax no matter how and what you trade. Period.

You pay taxes (20%) only when you will get the money out of the business ie. into your pockets. So this is the place where you can accumulate your equity for years and pay one-time tax only when retiring.

Then of course if you have to pay some dividends for your living expences you can do it just paying 20% taxes. This is valid only for the first 3 years then the rate will get lowered to 14%. Remember these are peanuts while your main equity is growing in the business.

It makes a big difference if you can compound profits without paying taxes annually. Use your calculator and see the Big difference.

So it is the true tax haven and safe harbour for your money to grow without your home fiscal authorities to steal a penny? Really? C`me on!

I agree with you. As soon as the home fiscal authorities know about this construction they will taxe him in Finland. Unless he can proof that he was always in Estonia physically when he was executing the trades.

He would better take an offshore and pay no taxes at all. Would have the same risk as he has now and should pay no taxes at all.

If you have an office in Estonia why you would go to trade in Finland ?!

Of course you can visit Finland weekends and holidays but be sure you do not do it more than 182 days / year.

This is how it works. In practice. There is no "risk".

The key thing is you cannot have an apartment, business or wife/kids in Finland. You have to live fully in Estonia.
