Hello guys, I'm swing trader from Slovenia but short term gains (buy and sell under 12 months) are taxable 40% in my country and that's killing me. That's ridiculous.
What should I do, what are my options? I'm willing to open any kind of business in other countries if that's necessary. How could I take advatage of EU policy in that case?
Help Veeky Forumsbro, lads.
Why not open a company in Hong Kong and do all your trading through that?
Thank you for suggestion. I'm not big league pretender like many guys here on Veeky Forums so I'll honestly say I have no idea how to do that and if it is legal.
what's swing trading?
Burger here.
What I do is find a non-FACTA country. FACTA is an agreement the United States has with many countries that requires the cooperating nation's banks to disclose any profits an American citizen makes in that country. So for example banking in Canada/EU/Australia would get me busted. But banking in Burma, Morocco, Cambodia, etc allows me to hide a ton of income.
Therefore, I'd find if your country has something similar and find a country that doesn't disclose your info to Slovenia, and bank there.
Thanks, fair enough but is there any less sketchy strategy? I'm not sure if I would like to literally hide my money since I'm not talking about millions but tens of thousands.
I would pay up to 25%. I was thinking if there is some kind of loop so I can open a firm somewhere and pay corporate gains or something. But I think I would have to denounce my residency for that..
can u show a bid explaning this
> is there any less sketchy strategy
No lol.
I'm not a high roller either (I'm posting here, aren't I?), but fuck the government. I'm still saving quite a bit.
>I was thinking if there is some kind of loop so I can open a firm somewhere
Open up one in Tunisia. They don't give a shit.
move to a country with no capital gains
VISA to US
VISA to any country with low taxes
UK and hide it as our tax authorities are terrible (especially if you're not a Brit)
I have the exact same problem except here in the Netherlands you pay upwards to fucking 50%. It's practically full blown communism. I have no idea how I'm supposed to make any decent income here. I'll likely end up moving just for this reason.
Some good advice in this thread though
That's just hideous tax rates. You gave me fucking cold sweats, I've only just started investing here in Australia. As far as I can tell short term gains is taxed here at the full capital gains tax rate, which I think is equal to the income tax rate you paid that year, If any aussies could set me straight, it would be appreciated.
buy citizenship from malta, or st. kitts, or other no tax heavens that allow you to buy in a passport.
open an llc in any of the tax heavens, and just be yourself :^)
I've been thinking about this, what's the best place to open the LLC? BVI?
Also if your LLC makes money, do you pay yourself a salary and then just pay tax on the salary (assuming you're still living somewhere in the western world and not trying to actually break laws)? Or can you just buy everything you need, even personal stuff, with a debit/credit card that belongs to the LLC?
Well yeah f-fuck the g-government but I still have to give them 40% and die a little bit inside.
Jesus Christ, even 50%? This is fucked up, bro.
This is for millionaires. I guess I'll have to swallow my pride and give 40% until I'm financially capable of getting foreign citizenships and tax heaven firms.
I feel like I'm being denied by my own country because I want to legally succeed. Literally raping me with taxes while guys selling drugs don't give a fuck and have much more than me. Thanks Obama.
Now I understand why it pays to do crime in Eastern Europe. Terrible bureaucracy.

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE?
Become a non-resident. In most countries if you are there 180 days or less you arent liable for tax. As a trader we can make money anywhere.
So leave the country twice a year and have a residence somewhere else. You can always go back, but as long as you can prove on paper you were away, you will be tax free.
ti pizda pokvarjena, kdo ti je pa šolo plačal a?
a si jo sam?
pa koliko plačaš ko greš k zdravniku? pa cesto si boš sam asfaltiral?
ko zaslužiš pa takoj spizdiš z denarjem ven. kakšen človek si ti?
zaradi takšnih kot si ti nam ne bo nikoli uspelo. crkni
It can't be that easy, can it? Like you're literally scot fucking free when it comes to taxes just by moving twice a year?
Reč to Bavčarju, jebem te u usta.
Hong Kong takes 20% of what you earn (that is taxable... and ehem visible to them) no matter if you ear $50000 or $5 billion.
No bullshit social security taxes in Hong Kong. Also tight Chinese girls will stick to your virile European cock all day every day. Live the dream, man.
Sounds like a lot of money to get sucked off by some catfish looking whore.
look up how tax residency is determined in your country
also ask a lawyer to be 100% safe
Start trading crypto instead.
>What I do is find a non-FACTA country
Fucking christ bro... he's fucking Slovenian
SLOVENIAN
Not AMERICAN
Maybe talk to an accountant there in Slovenia. Here in the US we have different ways to structure an entity like an LLC that's is either owned by or owns a Self Directed IRA. It can be a lot of paper work but it has its benefits. And no, not the self directed BS they throw at you at Merrill Lynch, an actual Self Directed IRA. One that you manage yourself
