    0% plan and coming back from tax haven after 10 years

    I think that there is some confusion with the 183 days. Staying 183 in one specific country, can make you strongly a tax resident of that country, with the proper actions Staying 182 days or less in one country, doesn't guarantee that you will not be considered a tax resident there. Because...

    1. A partner with 1% share of OE, EE, is eligible/liable for the 1% of the profits/losses of the company, however for legal issues, every partner is fully responsible for any liability of any amount that may occur. Even with 1% of a small company he will be liable to pay let's say 5 millions...

    Because I have already been paid to my UK-LTD all the previous months. Even if I create an OE, EE, IKE now in Greece, I will need to invoice my UK-LTD, which may cause problems.

    I am still struggling to understand if the dividends from my UK-LTD will be taxed in UK (with 8.75%) or in Greece (with 5%). My accountant says the first but I read plenty of articles and discussions stating the second. If it's the first, then my current schema with the UK-LTD is a total fail...

    Maybe the personal income that is coming from a OE or EE, will be further taxed on personal level? Instead of it being declared as dividends, it must be declared as income from business and get taxed based on higher rates? Need to confirm all this with my Greek accountant, I will post the...

    This is true for OE, EE and personal companies. However OE and EE require a partner, you cannot have them alone. However with 22% tax rate and no dividend tax, they really look as the best option, even compared with many other countries https://www.startyouup.gr/el/a/106-forologia-epixeirhsewn

    It's not 22% in Greece for the full amount. My total income will put a significant portion at a tax rate of 28%, 36% and even at 44% For income below 50K, it will remain at 19%

    This means that I will be taxed in US as person? From some research I did I understood that in this case I will only have to pay the Federal tax only if I register my LLC in Delaware?

    Regarding your first point, tbh I haven't looked for an LLC in USA at all, as I was familiar with UK and my agency that I work for is in the UK. My schema is a bit complicated. End client is a large USA company, client is based in UK and the hiring agency is also in UK. Do you know if this way...
