Greatly appreciate your input! Will have to think this through.

I understand, but if I leave CH, the branch will become irrelevant as I won't be able to claim PE tax benefits. So the whole Ireland+CH branch setup will get messy and I will probably change again. That's exactly the point. Only problem is that I don't see how you can be LLC owner while also...

Yes I know, assuming I decide to live there forever.

Marzio, would Gibraltar or Isle of Man work? I'd prefer to avoid UK/Australia/China. Estonia is more liberal imo and could work well for me. Ireland is better too. But realistically, for the parent company I want to use the lowest tax country + the least amount of hassle/cost to setup &...

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into branch structures, but anything US related is out of question. Edit: F*cking sh*t, Marzio, this is a genius strategy. Need to think of a perfect parent jurisdiction.

Okay, so I do have to report assets and there is no way around it within the EU. Got it. Do you happen to know if I can legally create an offshore company for just about any remove activity or they might not allow it and make me setup a local LLC? I've read somewhere that in Switzerland, for...

But if I don't have to pay taxes on whatever that company is generating within the EU anyway, how is it tax evasion then? Creating foreign structures is a common practice done by big corps, and it's called tax optimization, not evasion.

You can't just register as self-employed and get paid by a foreign company where you are a director. A director means an employee so you are taxed as an employee as far as I know. Looking for legal ways to simplify reporting. EU resident, 3rd country citizen.

Is there a way for an owner of an offshore company to receive payments from his LLC as a self-employed in EU? LLC director is automatically an employee. Has to be self-employed. Side question: is there a way to structure a company in a way that you don't have to report assets/turnover/profit to...
