We are just thinking of starting an e-commerce solution with fully digital e-products which will work in whole EU at the end. First would start in the languages like English, French, German, Italian and Spain. Later on in all languages that are spoken in EU. What are your suggestion which EU country could be the best solution - tax wise - for such an e-commerce site and why (establish a new company, taxes on sales, taxes for incomes of the owners, etc.? We would like to be resident in only one country and do the sale throughout EU for all citizens.
Witholding tax, someone explain? A UK based business can't just pay a fee to a Seychelles or BVI company...they have to withold tax?
To elaborate a Seychelles based company owns a 20% stake in a UK start up. Instead of investing money th Seychelles company is providing advice and research and for this charges a 20% profit sharing agreement? The UK company has to write this down as a cost and the Seychelles company is based in a tax free environment. What are the problems with this?
Please feel free to comment or email timcarling@gmail.com if you feel you can provide a solution here.
I want to form a UK LLP with 2 non-UK company partners (90% Malta and 10% Switzerland). All decisions about the UK LLP will be taken in Malta (not the UK and not Switzerland). The fact that the LLP will be a UK one is for UK prestige and to avoid any perceived tax haven "taint".
The UK LLP will have a UK address, but only as a convenience - no significant activity will take place there, other than to accept formal documents.
The UK LLP will sell software on a rental basis wholly to clients outside the UK. Clients will "rent" the software which will physically sit on servers in France and Switzlerand. In other words the UK LLP has foreign source income and foreign owners, so no UK taxes involved.
My questions is: I understand (wrongly?) that the EU VAT registration must take place in the jurisdiction of the "permanent establishment" of the business.
Where is the formal "permanent establishment" for a UK LLP (specifically, "my LLP")? UK, Malta, or (heaven forbid) where the servers are based - i.e. France & Switzerland?
Where can the UK LLP register for VAT? The UK? Malta?
Apologies for the long question! Any help & advice appreciated. DH
I have a Seychelles IBC managed and controlled from a jurisdicition outside Seychelles. I live in Switzerland. No business is transacted in, from, or with the Seychelles. I never visit Seychelles.
Can a Seychelles IBC pay me a salary for my services without having to account to the Seychelles government for Seychelles income taxes and social security contributions?
"Nobody would know", whilst true, is not a valid answer! CH resident
