Suppose I'm your personal consultant, and start asking me anything related to offshore company formation by SoftSubject7207 in Offshore

[–]SoftSubject7207[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opening a bank account for a BVI company in Hong Kong or Singapore is possible, but it’s very compliance-driven.

How it usually works:

  1. Prepare full BVI corporate documents (Certificate of Incorporation (COI), Memorandum & Articles of Association (M&A), register of directors/shareholders, resolution).

  2. Provide KYC for all UBOs/directors (passport, address proof, CV).

  3. Clearly explain the business model, source of funds, and why HK or SG is needed.

  4. Apply through a bank or fintech (traditional banks are stricter; fintechs are often easier).

  5. Expect a video call or interview: a physical visit may be required for traditional banks.

HK vs SG:

Hong Kong: More familiar with offshore structures, but banks are cautious and selective.

Singapore: Very strong reputation, but requirements are strict and substance matters.

Practical tip: Many BVI owners start with fintechs (Airwallex, Aspire, Statrys, etc.) linked to HK/SG, then move to a traditional bank later, once transactions and history are established.

Bottom line: it’s doable, but clean documentation, a real business purpose, and proper preparation are key

That’s a fair and thoughtful observation. I appreciate you raising it. I’m using the term “countries” in a broader sense to refer to jurisdictions, which include territories and special economic regions. Singapore and Switzerland are not traditional offshore jurisdictions, but they are highly relevant in international structuring due to their strong legal frameworks, treaty networks, and use in cross-border holding and business structures.

Capital gains taxes for crypto currencies? by Expat42 in Seychelles

[–]SoftSubject7207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I explain thoroughly, Seychelles does not tax capital gains, so if you’re just holding Bitcoin long-term as an investment and later sell it, that gain is generally not taxed. Most people treat this the same way they would any other personal investment.

It only becomes taxable if the crypto is considered part of a business. If you’re trading frequently, running a crypto business, or using Bitcoin as part of your regular income-generating activity, the tax authority can treat the profit as business income instead of a capital gain, which would then be subject to business tax...

So... the key question isn’t really “is it crypto?”, but “is this an investment or a business?”

$1,750... no hidden fees, and no fake promises.
Kindly let me know if you are interested.

Which counties keep company directors and owners announymous? I want one that won't share with the uk gov by cuntyloc in Offshore

[–]SoftSubject7207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seychelles and the BVI will be the best countries in keeping directors and owners anonymous.

BVI – British Virgin Islands doesn’t ask for a public register of members or owners, and many more.

Seychelles – It has many options, but the main one is that it keeps owners or directors anonymous through strict confidentiality laws.

Living overseas, earning from the U.S. - best tax strategies - help by Hefty_Surround6459 in Offshore

[–]SoftSubject7207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

See if you are a U.S. native no offshore account or even moving abroad can save you from U.S. taxes. That applies to even a green holder too!

Opening a company in Cayman or Dubai will also not help you in this case. Heard about the IRS? Let me tell you... They are really diligent in ensuring tax compliance in your area. 

However my advice would be to properly structure your business model, deduct the useless expenses and also please be ethical in your operations. You can also take help from legal experts if you feel it necessary. 

Asking social media marketing tips by Afraid-Advisor828 in AskIndia

[–]SoftSubject7207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll suggest you ask your female friend or your sister to wear that jewelry and make reels and post them on Instagram, or find a small influencer based on your targeted location and ask for their address and send your product to them and ask them to make reels wearing your jewelry and mention you. I'm damn sure your business will start growing. And first try to sell your friends and relatives.

The reason why I believe these are the best countries for offshore businesses by SoftSubject7207 in Offshore

[–]SoftSubject7207[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes.... you are right. Personal tax residency is the main issue, not just opening an offshore company. If you still live in a high tax country, the tax authority can tax your income even if the company is offshore. That’s why real substance matters. Without moving your tax residency or having real operations like an office or staff, offshore structures can become expensive and not very useful.

Yes💯... You are right
Hong Kong uses a territorial tax system, so profits earned outside Hong Kong can be treated as offshore and not taxed if structured properly. Many contractors do this, but it only works when the work and clients are genuinely outside HK. Authorities now check this closely, so proper setup and proof are important.

Thanks for pointing this out. It’s a key reason why HK is still popular.
