Hi Martin. Thanks. We have a small annual donations allowance, but don't have the 7 year look back like in the UK. I'm not worried about the CGT disposal, the goal is how do you get funds out of the estate into the company or an offshore company. Just some rough ideas I can explore further...

Hi We're doing some estate planning and are trying to work out an efficient way to get funds out of an individuals name into a company (with different shareholders). The company will hold property. What are some of the best ways to get funds out of an estate and into the company where the...

Hi There are so many threads and thoughts on this, I'd like to double check this. It's for a small US LLC that runs some paid ads and receives affiliate commission. The owner is outside the US. 1) Use RelayFi 2) When in the US, go to a branch and get a Chase Business Account if Possible...

Hi I want to run some online ads, and if I select the UK, or any other country, they're charging a 20% VAT on the ad spend. I'd like to incorporate a company in a jurisdiction that has a 0 rate, like Hong Kong, Dubai, etc. However, it needs to be cheap and relatively easy to setup a new...

It's to receive money. :-) I'm looking for an online bank that only requires a proof of address for verification, not the SSN, Visa or ITIN numbers. It looks like Zenus is perfect for this. Zenus Bank | US Bank Account Requirements. Do you know any others I can check out (except Wise)

I have some low earnings I'd like to put there. Not very much, like $2k, etc. Do you know any EMI's that only require proof of address, not ITIN, or SSN's? (e.g. Revolut requires an SSN/ITIN/Visa proof)

I have some low earnings I'd like to put there. Not very much, like $2k, etc. I often travel there and it would be nice to have a US account. The issue is that I tried another one, and they needed a Visa (Revolut), and some require ITIN and SSN. Looking for one that uses just utility bills...

It's a personal account. Resident in South Africa currently.

I can get a US address, but don't have an ITIN or SSN, which seems to be an issue for some. Ideally looking for one that only needs a US address, but not a Visa, ITIN or SSN verification. Any ideas?

Which banks in the US are easy to open online similar to Wise?

Thanks for taking the time to do a detailed reply. I appreciate it. When you say: " If the Maltese company is held by a Guernsey pension trust, but I'm based in South Africa, which DTT would I need to look at? It's a great idea travelling to Malta and documenting everything beforehand...

Ha ha. That makes a lot more sense! :-)

What do you mean by this? Am I correct in saying: You sell, then keep working on a contract, and then exit?

Hi Sols Thanks for the reply. My query is that until there is a sale of anything it's not a taxable event, and a sale will take time to prepare for. We also have no plans to sell in the next 7 years. We have the budget to pay for it, but I'd rather spend the money on something else if I...
