Legitimate Way to Pay 0% Tax on Crypto Income from Digital Services?

[WormCasting]

If someone runs a legal online business offering digital services and gets paid in cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin),
could the following strategy be used to achieve 0% income tax , legally?

Imagine this setup:

A crypto payment processor is used to track all incoming payments.

Each transaction is logged with details like:

- Customer name
- Payment date
- Amount
- Type of service
- Wallet address or TXID
- Exchange rate at the time of payment

All the crypto goes into a dedicated business wallet that’s only used for:

- Receiving client payments
- Keeping clean, auditable records
- Cashing out funds when needed

There’s no mixing with personal funds, and the intent is full transparency , not tax evasion , but compliance-ready bookkeeping.


Now the key question is:

If someone de-registers from their current country of tax residence,
becomes a tax resident in a country that doesn’t tax foreign income (like Panama, UAE, Paraguay, etc.),
could this setup legally result in 0% income tax on their crypto revenue?
While not staying in any single country for more than 183 days , following a mostly nomadic lifestyle.

And in terms of documentation , what kind of data should someone keep to prove the income is legitimate and foreign-sourced?

Would the above listed be sufficient?

According to the list you’ve compiled, you’re likely collecting enough data to prove the origin of your crypto, so you shouldn’t have issues exchanging it or documenting the source of funds (SOF).

From a tax perspective, it’s considered income, not an investment. If you only move to a tax-free country after earning the money, then you’ll be taxed in the country where you currently live and are subject to taxation. It’s really that simple.

1)If you earn digital income and get paid in Bitcoin while traveling, is it beneficial to establish tax residency in a specific country?

2)If you're a digital nomad spending less than 183 days in a country with no strong ties (e.g. family, property, or long-term commitments), can you earn income during your stay without triggering local income tax obligations?

3)If you stay beyond 183 days, does that automatically make you a tax resident from day 184, requiring you to pay income tax on worldwide earnings,even if you're still officially a tax resident elsewhere?

4)In such cases, how can you prove that your cryptocurrency income comes from foreign clients and not from within the country you’re temporarily in,especially in a territorial tax country like Panama, where only locally sourced income is taxable?

The problem is that you have to be tax resident somewhere, it doesn’t really matter where, but if you’re not, you’ll run into all sorts of issues with the crypto you earn, especially if you ever want to convert it to fiat at some point.
