    Interactive Brokers and Brexit - Lower account protection

    For anyone else interested and to answer my own query previously in this thread about IB country, I received a reply from their support to check the top of my activity statement. I have "Interactive Brokers LLC, Two Pickwick Plaza, Greenwich, CT 06830" up there which means I'm a customer of the...

    Interactive Brokers and Brexit - Lower account protection

    I'm really confused about which country I'm an "IB client" of. I wasn't asked to migrate when I logged in, but does anyone have any idea how to check this definitely?

    Thai resident and have income from Forex broker affiliate.

    30 seconds on Google teaches us that Thailand only taxes income sourced in Thailand or remitted to Thailand in the same calendar year it was earned. Leave your affiliate earnings outside of Thailand and you don't have to pay any tax on it, so stop worrying. Also, Thailand has a labour force of...

    Best company incorporation service for UAE company?

    How long have you been using this firm @abdulkaddir and what services? Do you know their price for RAK ICC formation and yearly maintenance costs? Granted they also have information about liquidation procedures on their website which is a plus in my book, most "agents" skip this information...

    Sticking to Transferwise as EMI, what about the incorporation country?

    That's from my own agent which I have used for this setup. There are plenty others to find if you Google around, I'm unsure about promotions/links here so not going to post anything. People on this forum have been talking about license costs and so on when it comes to UAE companies however...

    Sticking to Transferwise as EMI, what about the incorporation country?

    You don't have to pay any tax if you setup a UAE company in RAK FZ. No accounting and no audit required. Transferwise accepts UAE companies and the corporate registry is anonymous. Running cost for year 1 and on 2000 - 2500 EUR. Setup cost around 2500 EUR.

    So .... anyone feel like depositing some $$$? I thought of a new slogan for them: "With no baggage from the past, SATA bank is breathing new life into banking" But wait, that was their old one!

    SataBank Closed

    I was also affected by the closing of SATA bank, luckily with only a small amount deposited. I received an email a couple of weeks ago requesting me to login and enter account details for transferring my remaining balance to another account via SEPA inside EU, which I did. The full amount was...

    ATAD / CFC 2019 Malta Full Imputation Refunds

    Anyone have any practical info on how and when the refund is issued? I've heard delays of up to 12 months from corporate tax payment and submission of the tax refund claim until the refund is approved and transfered. The law says "within a maximum of 2 weeks" if I'm not mistaken.

    LeoPay still in business and working for people?

    They most certainly work as long as your business is registered in the EU. I've moved most of my money away from them due to the recent "issues" but still keep them around as a backup. Their business account will starting this month (1st March 2019) have a new 20 EUR/month fee. For this you...
