Hi guys, I just found this forum and think it's great. Here is what I'm planning and want to see if I'm missing anything. First I'm an America but plan on getting a citizenship by investment in the Caribbean. I'm getting ready to sell my company and want to take the money (after I pay taxes on it) and invest it in crypto but I don't want the excessive US taxes down the road or to be holding assets.
My plan is to
1) Create a trust from the Cook Islands that has a beneficiary to Caribbean Jason.
2) Create a holding company in Nevis that's managed by Caribbean Jason and owned by the trust.
3) Create a company in the Cayman's to invest crypto with managed Caribbean Jason owned by the holding company.
4) Create a company in the Cayman's owned by American Jason
Then I will transfer money to the Cayman company owned by American Jason as a loan. Transfer the money to the Cayman company owned by Caribbean Jason to then move to a crypto exchange.
The idea of the intermediary company is if I end up renouncing my citizenship down the road, that company can go bankrupt so I won't need to worry about paying any exit tax. Any money that comes out through the trust will go to Caribbean Jason and I will only need to worry about those taxes instead of trading/crypto taxes. Also the plan is to use the holding company to buy a house down the road so I again don't own any assets to be taxed on.
The reason for jumping around jurisdictions is to keep anyone from tracking anything down. I got divorced years ago and don't plan on losing half my assets again and trying to be smart setting things up this time.
I know that's a lot but if anyone sees any problems please let me know. Thanks so much.
