You want to live in Europe and pay no tax? It can be possible with the so-called ''Non-Dom Programs''
Today we will cover all you need to know about Non-Dom programs, and which countries offer them.
Domicile is a concept originating from Great Britain, and is not to be confused with residency. Residency means that you merely live in another country, and domicile means home, the place where you're born, the place you belong to. Not every country will have this concept, but if they do it can be quite useful.
So which countries in Europe have the non-domicile concept?
Naturally, number one will be the UK. Besides the UK, Ireland, Malta, and Cyprus all have this concept.
If you're a non-dom meaning you don't actually originate from those countries you can potentially live there with massive tax savings, even paying zero tax in some cases!
Who are we and what do we do?
We are Offshore Citizen team. We help people become global: get a second passport, set up a second residency, pay less taxes, do banking abroad, etc.
We have lots of interesting articles on different topics, we have relevant information up to date.

Would be good for you to clarify the differences in flat tax jurisdictions like Italy vs Switzerland vs Greece et al and how they compare. In one of your vlogs, someone asked if living in Italy and day trading US/UK markets was classed as foreign sourced income ... to which the answer was yes. Is this the same for Swit/Gr etc?

About Cyprus Non-dom can you choose when you want to start the 17 year program? Let’s say you reside 2 years before, applying for it, will it then still count for 17 years or 15 years? And in case you get passport by naturalization will you then lose the the non-dom status or is it possible to remain the non-dom status as well as getting a passport?

@RomilCPatel Жыл бұрын

Great video, although I think the background music was unnecessary. Any thoughts on what happened with the St Kitts CBI program and Les Khan being removed? along with the price cut that could cause a carribean CBI price war; also the U.S. changed the rules on E2 visas so that you can't just get a CBI then a E2 which makes Grenada less attractive for Amercian renounciants, so I expect that program to get a price cut to 100k as the passport is pretty much the same as Dominica. Also I was wondering whether you could make a video on the Birtish Overseas Teritorries residency programs in the Carribean? I recently found these and they seem attractive because it leads to BOT citizenship in 5 years then you can register as a ordinary British citizen just a year later, and they're all tax free. Also BOT passports have visa free to the U.S. for 6 months with no ESTA like Canadians, so I actually find it more attractive than many EU passports.

@OffshoreCitizen Жыл бұрын

St Kitts we were always able to get a lot cheaper so now we're waiting as it's no longer the most competitive. Grenada is mainly attractive right now to Russians who can't get any of the others. Hopefully there will be a price war that would be nice. Can see about some videos on BOT residencies

@KeepingItRealBro Жыл бұрын

From experience I can say those five years BOT naturalization sound good in theory. After nearly 8 I'm still waiting. Good luck, it's not straight forward as the text books make you believe. CBI is more motivating for them.

@RomilCPatel Жыл бұрын

@@KeepingItRealBro Out of curiosity could you elaborate? Like which BOT your in and when you applied did they reject it? I was think of going to Turks and Caicos which offers direct PR and citizen(in theory) after 5 years of residency. Although I might rethink it with alternatives if they aren’t following through on providing citizenship after 5 years.

I wonder if the non dom works for non remitted income if you run a subscription website, working from home while living in Ireland. People talk about businesses with employees and passive income while digital nomads without an overseas employer can't find much information. Are we Doomed? Google, Stripe and PayPal serving the EU are in Ireland too, not sure if that can also cause problems even if you don't cash out to an Irish account.

Do the remittance based system differentiate between savings and income, or is everything taxed like income when it is remitted? If they do differentiate, after what time does income become part of one’s savings?

@OffshoreCitizen Жыл бұрын

Depends on the country for example in UK you can't benefit from some of the favorable dividend rules upon remittance though depending on when and the type of income you can do some complicated calculations

Quality was good - sounds clear, but really low. I had to turn my volume all the way up.

Thanks for the feedback will note to improve. We'll be doing lots of tests the next month. Re your situation. If you're living and working in one of those countries it will be local income so taxed dependent on the type of income in that country and how it can be treated. Might be possible to be zero in Cyprus if you adjusted lifestyle right. Malta maybe zero depending on your visa. The others earned income will be taxable. Of course if you're American you're always hit with US taxes

@OffshoreCitizen Жыл бұрын

Location of bank accounts doesn't matter if you're a British Citizen resident in UK in almost all cases. Generally around the world location of bank accounts rarely matters. Companies are another matter because you've got corporate residency rules, source income rules and CFC rules. Assuming those are not an issue dividends received by a UK parent company from an overseas subsidiary are tax exempt.

If I could comment just one thing, I would greatly appreciate the answer. With the CFC and management and controlled law, I understand that it applies to corporate income tax but I always wish to know whether corporate income includes corporate withholding tax’s such as dividends corporate withholding tax; and also capital gains I assume is part of that CFC and management and controlled law on the corporate side? So basically if I have a company elsewhere but I run and operate that particular company in the UK as an example, now we know that; that company that is elsewhere will be subject to UK corporate income tax simply due to CFC and management and controlled law. What I want to know is whether UK corporate withholding tax specifically and or capital gains tax is also subject to this law same as the corporate income tax, if I am operating and managing the company in the UK?. Hopefully I make sense. Would love an answer. Thank you in advance.

@OffshoreCitizen Жыл бұрын

You're combining CFC and management and control rules these are completely separate and different. This is a common mistake people make not understanding the distinction. CFC applies to shareholders not the company. The shareholders will be taxable based on their own local type. Management and control rules determine corporate residency in many countries. And yes under these rules withholding taxes would apply. It is literally taxed exactly the same as a local company.

It is just not sustainable, it is in a very clear and concise direction of abolishing all tax evasion possibilities. In Malta and Cyprus you end up between either Russian oligarchs (the ones left on this planet) or with mafiosi. If that’s your cup of tea, by all means. There are so many better and more sustainable options outside of the EU, I cannot think of a reason to choose any European country. You’re doomed inside the EU imho.
