Good morning guys, as per title, is there any way to trasfer stocks to a private company without paying capital gains taxes? I'm an European based investor and I would like to put all the stocks I own in my name under a private company, the issue is that the operation would be like selling my...

Do you know if there are banks taking into account the negative rates on EUR for lombard loan? Or they have a floor at zero? For instance, with Euribor @ -0.50% and with a spread @ 0.70%, are you finally paying 0.20% or 0.70% is the floor they use? Several commercial banks are taking into...

Financing is the most interesting thing about private banks in my opionion. They accept a lot of assets (funds, stocks...) to guarantee a loan, commercial bank only usually finance real estate throught mortgages. If you negotiate properly, for > 1m/2m in invested assets, you can have only...

I think people move there and then they become rich. No need to move there if you are already rich elsewhere.

Madrid in Spain and Italy generally speaking are G7 countries where you can achieve that (well, Spain is more G8 or G9 than G7 for now :) )

Another thing, I understand that if I set up a trust, I cannot dispose anymore of the money / investment I put in it

And, would setting up a trust create a tax event where I have to pay capital gains on the stocks I'm putting under the trust?

Thanks, Spain resident with US stocks portfolio. I already use loans against it using Interactive Brokers. The main issue here for me is really the US estate tax, not really the capital gain tax.

But if you move stock from personal account to a company account you create a tax event right? It's a sale you made and you have to pay taxes in case of capital gain. Taking a loan to avoid tax would be using shares of the company as guarantee right? The loan should be on your personal name...

I prefer to leave it public if you don't mind - maybe can help other people

Good morning, which is the best (legal) way for an European resident to sell an investment stocks portfolio minimizing capital gain and then setup an investment company to keep managing the stock portfolio? Several issue here: - is that possible to move the stocks bought in a personal account...

Ok thanks - I would be interested if someone knows about some real case involving US stocks in European / Asian bank account. Question is if tax is really paid... when stocks are carried in a omnibus account is probably harder for the IRS to know the real owner, especially if the account/bank...

Did you check about that trading US equities? https://www.taxesforexpats.com/articles/non-us-citizens/federal-estate-tax-considerations-for-foreigners-investing-in-the-united-states.html

What about US estate tax for us for non residents in this case? If account / company is US based, heirs will have obligations with the IRS for up 40%.
