    One Big Beautiful Bill - Section 899 - Increased US Taxes on Foreigners Investing in US

    It looks like even using a SMLLC won't protect you from this, if you reside and/or are tax resident in a "discriminatory foreign country".

    Thailand to amend tax on foreign income remittance

    TIT (This Is Thailand) - meaning things will change rapidly. I understand the frustration though, it makes it difficult to plan ahead.

    What would happen to your business if you stayed in your home country?

    Similar story for me too. In my first business (in the country where I was born and raised), we (my business partners and I) narrowly avoided a criminal tax evasion charge, which showed me just how these f**king parasites operate. Even our accountants (BDO) couldn't believe how the tax office...

    Hong Kong and chops, signatures, stamps --- when will it end?

    Very interesting. Thanks for the share. However one of the reasons why I shutdown everything in Hong Kong (besides banking) was due to all the nonsense that @dogprince mentioned. Additionally, when I had employees in HK I was constantly doing paperwork for their insurance, MPF etc etc.

    Question Best offshore jurisdiction for 2024 and 4 years ahead?

    As mentioned elsewhere, "Best Offshore Jurisdiction" is highly subjective. What's right for one, will not be right for another. Details matter.

    New mm2h details for Malaysia are out

    Honestly, you'd be better off spending that sort of money to live in a place like Singapore. Whilst it's a lot harder nowadays to get PR in Singapore, there's no guarantee you'll get it in Malaysia either.

    Best agent or accounting service 2025 for a HK LTD and e-commerce activity

    I've used https://asiabc.co/ a few times. They were reasonable in terms of price for prepping the audit and submitting everything to IRD. I last used them about 10 years ago, so I don't have any recent experience to share. Honestly, there are so many similar firms in Hong Kong that you...

    Tax-Efficient Structures for Holding Bitcoin in the Netherlands

    Did you acquire your BTC via non-KYC means? If yes, why on earth do you want to report your holdings to the government? Remember, you lost it all in that boating accident a while back ;) Also (which has been repeated ad-nauseam in this forum), leave the EU while you still can.
