How to Reduce Taxes for Investors & Crypto Investors_9

Since the 19th century, virtually every Swiss canton has been willing to negotiate with foreigners an annual lump sum tax payment. In essence, the procedure always looks like this:

- the applicant discloses his assets / expenses (personal and family),

- the authorities are determined with an interest in this person,

- the authorities announce the tax amount and, if mutual agreement is reached, a deal is concluded.

To obtain the status of a tax resident, as a rule, an investor visa is used: investing in a company (from EUR 500,000) or in Start_up (from EUR 250,000).

Even more favourable conditions in terms of taxation are offered in Gibraltar. Category 2 status (for individuals with assets of at least GBP 2 million) allows you to limit tax liabilities to 80,000 GBP (~ 93,000 EUR) of worldwide income. This means that an individual will pay ~ 29,000 GBP (~ 34,000 EUR) in tax per year.

The center was created as a result of the interaction of a group of Russian law and consulting firms with law firms in Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, the UK, the USA, Australia, Canada, etc. The idea of creation is to provide comprehensive support to citizens of various countries interested in deepening international relations, finding partners, obtaining a residence permit and citizenship, acquiring business and real estate ...
