Stick to the topic and don't turn it into a political thread!
The tax office in your country. bulls**t is what you wrote! Sorry to say so. If you can setup company with substance you stand your chances against the tax office. I don't speak about a 500 euro setup why you try to cheap you through the process.
A company with substance requires real staff, someone that pick up the phone, someone that sign any document on behalf of the company, a real office address, utility and what also you can think about when you see a real company in real life.
If you can provide that or buy that, you are 99% home free and can put a big foot into the small tight asses of the tax man.
i get what you are offering and all that, and i agree, however this is relating to a company where the directors are making their own decisions are are responsible for the business they been hired at market rate to do for the shareholder. The shareholder being most likely your client. Now can you truly state that your directors are appointed on a full and independent basis and not as a nominee? And who actually runs the business - who makes the decisions what to buy and sell or do whatever? Are these your directors? then yes - truly, the directors operate independently, and if the director wishes to empty the
corporate bank account they could do so as they are the ones managing the company. Now where does this leave the client?
I appreciate that for a silly 50k a year profit, nothing will happen, but lets go for a bigger fish, making 1Million+ a year.
Can you honestly state that the businesses you setup for your clients are 100% compliant as per whatever aggresive tax office might attack? And your directors are happy to be involved and indeed state for the record they make their own decisions? Do you have any contracts with your clients stating your directors will resign if something happens? If so, then they are truly not independently appointed and are working under directions of someone else...
Or indeed as 99.9999999% of the setups are, you have directors who entertain to be directed by the shareholders......
The key word is management and control. The directors manage and control the company. The shareholder merely controls the company. But if the directors are fouind to be "managed" by the shareholder, then the shareholder will be in fact a manager and any authority will look at top level. And authorities like to play the guilty until innocent card, they will just send a big f off tax demand and up to you to sort it out or proof otherwise....
