Hi Guys,
There are a lot of posts that go in the direction of what I am about to post, but many of them always have a small factor that varies, so I prefer to create a clean thread.
Hope that's okay
Context:
>> 9-5 jobs as employee in Germany
>> Doing consulting on the side each months (fintech / online marketing). The clients are in western Europe (Germany / Austria / Switzerland)
>> Consulting activities (~15k€ per year)
>> For now I am using a personal holding (UG in German) to invoice for those consulting gigs.
I would like to optimise for the following two goals:
>> I am the UBO of my holding and I could run into trouble if I get fired from my 9-5 job in case I wanna claim unemployment money.
>> I would like to pay 0-5% taxes on my consulting activities. In Germany ~30% go away after costs.
I was thinking about the following setup:
>> Register company in Estonia with their e-residency. Tax free from what I read.
>> Invoice my European clients from Estonia. Won't be a problem for them, still EU, IBAN friendly
>> After the money is paid to my Estonia account, I would loan the money to my German holding that would use this cash to do Angel investments in Startups.
>> There is only 1.5% tax in capital gain in Germany if you hold there shares as a business.
What do you guys think about this setup ?
Any alternative to Estonia ?
If Estonia, any service to recommend to incorporate? Any bank to recommend ?
Have a great rest of the day take care.
