🇵🇦 Panama just opened debate on a bill that ends the free ride for shell entities with no real presence there 🇵🇦 Foreign passive income, dividends, royalties, capital gains, all of it, taxed at 15% on gross if you can't prove actual operations on the ground. The EU has had Panama on its blacklist for years. This is Panama trying to get off it before October's review. The territorial system isn't dead... But the era of parking passive income in a Panamanian entity with no staff, no office and no substance is closing fast. This is exactly why structure needs to be built properly from the start, not just jurisdiction-shopped. Loopholes are never a long-lived strategy. imidaily.com/latin-america/…

@robcsmorton @NeilMcCoyWard Are you actually serious 😂

@NeilMcCoyWard Obviously no one likes paying tax. That said when IHT is triggered the owner of the funds have passed on and it can be argued, I think, that the beneficiary has no automatic right to receive something he/she has not worked for!

🚨Your pension is about to be raided and HMRC just confirmed how.... From April 2027, pension schemes will be allowed to withhold up to half of your retirement savings to cover inheritance tax. They can hold onto that money for up to 15 months while they work out what is owed Pensions used to sit outside inheritance tax entirely. From April 2027 they get hit with the standard 40% rate like everything else So your family loses up to 40% of what you spent a lifetime saving. The pension company sits on the other half for over a year before anyone sees a penny. Funeral costs, mortgage payments, school fees, none of it can be covered while the money is locked up The policy was announced by Rachel Reeves in the 2024 Budget. The operational detail confirming the 50% withholding rule was quietly published by HMRC this week, with final guidance not due until spring 2027, weeks before the deadline 10,500 estates will be dragged into inheritance tax for the first time. Another 38,500 will pay more. Average extra bill, £34,000 And this is how these things always work. The threshold starts high, the public is told it only affects the wealthy, and the numbers stay frozen while everything else rises The inheritance tax threshold has been stuck at £325,000 since 2009. House prices have nearly doubled in that time Every year, more ordinary families get pulled in without a single rule changing The government calls this closing a loophole. What it actually does is treat your pension like another revenue stream for the Treasury. Money you saved out of taxed income gets taxed again on the way out If you have a pension, this affects you. Check what your scheme is planning before April 2027 arrives Follow me to stay informed

@0xmadeleineee I'm in love with Reuben's cousin

I wish people outside of Thailand could taste a Bartels grilled cheese with Parmesan crust

So Erdogan announced a proposal to give new residents a 20-year full exemption on foreign income and capital gains - I want to give you my honest read on it as someone who spends most of their waking day following global tax and building sovereign structures for clients. So... Zero Turkish tax on anything earned outside Turkey. Inheritance tax dropped to a flat 1%. Corporate tax for exporters slashed to as low as 9%. On paper it's aggressive. Italy's equivalent runs 15 years. Greece's runs 15. Portugal's was cut to 10. Turkey is doubling all of them and charging nothing for the privilege on top. I get why people are excited, but this is still just a proposal and it still requires parliamentary approval (no submission date has been given). We've seen enough of these announcements in emerging markets to know that what gets proposed and what gets legislated are not always the same thing. And even when they do pass, the fine print tends to matter enormously. Then there's the currency: tradingview.com/symbols/USDTRY/ Five years ago, one US dollar bought you around 8 Turkish Lira. Today it buys you 44. That's not a wobble. That's a currency that has lost roughly 80% of its value against the dollar in five years, through double-digit inflation, central bank interventions, political shocks and reserve drawdowns that cost more than $60 billion to manage. For comparison… Istanbul ranks 101st on the Global Financial Centres Index. Dubai sits at 7th. If you want to sense-check how stable a country's economic environment really is, start with their currency chart. But none of this makes Turkey irrelevant. The strategic positioning is real and the incentive direction is right. But basing a structure around a 20-year promise from a government with that monetary track record is a different conversation to basing it around somewhere such as the UAE, which even with the current issues has delivered zero tax, genuine legal infrastructure and currency stability for decades now. Or Cyprus, which sits inside EU legal frameworks with treaty networks that actually hold up under scrutiny. The clients we work with need structures that perform across two, three, sometimes four decades. That means jurisdictions with the institutional track record to match the promise. Turkey could be a very interesting move on the global sovereignty chess board. But it is definitely not yet Dubai.

$140 billion in Bitcoin is gone forever. Most of it did not have to be: Death without a crypto succession plan is not just a personal tragedy. It is one of the largest ongoing wealth destructions in human history, happening in slow motion, right now. The problem is structural. Traditional estate planning was designed for assets held in banks and property registries. Crypto does not work that way. There is no bank to call. No registry to petition. No recovery process. If the seed phrase is not documented, transferred, or held within a properly structured trust or foundation, the assets cease to exist for any practical purpose. A cross-border trust or foundation, properly constituted and jurisdiction-matched to your assets, solves this completely. It is not complicated. It requires one conversation and one decision. The decision most people keep postponing. G

Two major US banks, Silvergate and Signature, collapsed in 2023. Here's why crypto founders in 2026 should care: Both were significant banking partners for crypto businesses. Both were gone within days. The businesses that survived without major operational disruption had diversified their banking relationships across multiple institutions and jurisdictions. The businesses that had concentrated their operations into a single relationship scrambled. Banking de-risking in the crypto space is not a theoretical risk. It is a documented pattern across the US, EU, and UK, driven by regulatory pressure on banks to reduce exposure to crypto-adjacent clients. If your entire operational banking runs through one account, that is not a banking strategy. That is a single point of failure. If you're building decentralised solutions, please don't overlooked the risks of centralising your banking operations. If you need recommendations for crypto business banking, just shoot me a message, we can help. G

The US is one of only two countries in the world that taxes its citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live. The other? The other is Eritrea. This is not normal. Most countries tax based on residency, not citizenship. For American founders and investors operating internationally, this creates a compliance burden that has no parallel in most developed nations. It is one of the primary drivers behind the documented rise in US citizenship renunciations. The people renouncing are not criminals. According to Boundless research, most are long-term expats, middle-income earners, and dual nationals for whom the reporting burden no longer makes sense. The system was not designed with your situation in mind. The question is whether you are designing around it. G

@aaroninky @_TheLondoner @moorehn @DanNeidle Haha made me chuckle that

@_TheLondoner @moorehn @DanNeidle “hoover scion” is such a funny consecution of words. like something out of chris morris. did ‘cyclonic knight’ not scan well enough?

The CEO of QuadrigaCX died at 30 years old. He took the private keys to $190 million in customer crypto with him: No recovery. No override. No second chance. That was someone else's money, but imagine it being your family's. According to the American Bar Association, most legal and financial professionals lack the expertise to handle crypto assets in estate planning. And according to Caring.com, only 24% of Americans even have a basic will. Crypto inheritance is not a solved problem wrapped in standard estate planning - It is a distinct technical and legal challenge that most advisors have never properly addressed. If you hold significant digital assets and have no succession structure around them, they may simply cease to exist for anyone you leave behind. If you need guidance with this, just shoot me a message. G

@BritishTuga @BowTiedGlobe If you hold the same asset for one year, yes. Otherwise Portugal is not great either

@BowTiedGlobe Wow. 😯 imagine having gone all in on Paraguay just for this to happen and realising you could have just gone to Portugal and paid zero.

Didn’t take Paraguay 🇵🇾 2 weeks from “its just crypto reporting” to “8% crypto capital gains tax is the goal” a cheap prospera entity as a crypto holding may end up becoming part of our standard paraguay package 😅

The window to plan often closes faster than most people expect: Certain citizenship by investment programmes cap annual applicants. Certain banking relationships require a clean compliance history to access, and that history cannot be retroactively created. Certain trust and foundation structures become significantly more complex to execute once assets are under legal dispute or regulatory scrutiny. Every month without a sovereign structure in place is a month of compounding exposure. This is not fearmongering. It is how legal and financial systems work. The people who plan early pay a fraction of the cost and access a significantly wider range of options. The people who plan late pay a premium for a reduced menu. The people who never plan pay with outcomes. Which plans do you have in place? G

A second passport is not paperwork. It is leverage: Leverage over where you live. Leverage over where you bank. Leverage over what happens to your family if the political or economic environment in your home country deteriorates. The people who do not see the value are usually the people who have never had their banking access threatened, their currency devalued overnight, or their assets frozen by a government acting in its own interests rather than theirs. Those who have experienced any one of those things understand immediately... The cost of a second citizenship is fixed and finite. The cost of not having one, in the wrong circumstances, is not. G

@guinarABoreste @bowtiedbrazil This is not applicable in 95% of cases and, unless you’re literally living out of a single suitcase with not earthly possessions, you’ve likely got a car/house/centre of vital interest somewhere that could be classed as your primary residence.

@bowtiedbrazil What if you're really travelling around the world and not staying any significant amount of time anywhere? Many sailors do it, a world circumnavigation can easily take 2 years or more. I wonder what must they do, tax wise.

the idea of claiming no tax residence is de facto over (nobody smart was recommending this anyway) hint: the guidelines are that it is not reasonable to accept that you have a physical address and have zero tax residency

@bowtiedbrazil Hit the nail on the head with this one 😹 👏

guys if you have a biz, let's learn a lesson that if we have a good thing going, we sometimes have to shut up instead of going on the internet. let's dive in. first, colombia has significantly worse taxation on personal level than the US, as well as a wealth tax so either you're spending less than half the year there or you're publicly admitting to not paying taxes on the internet which isn't very smart or you are paying significantly higher taxes which would cut out any savings you claim second, by publicly admitting you are managing the company from colombia (by definition if you live in colombia and are CEO), you have now given every single person who doesn't like you very easy proof to bring to colombian authorities that beehive's place of effective management is in colombia, thus opening up the company to significant colombian corporate taxation (this is textbook tax law 101 on Permanent Establishment) finally, you also probably shouldn't be advertising that you're not complying with corporate labor and tax laws in every country where your remote employees may become tax resident and therefore bring beehive into the corporate tax net since i'm sure you have not registered in every one of the 20 jurisdictions where you claim they are scattered

Crypto founders - Your company's legal and operating structure is only as good as the advisors who helped you build it: Many structures today are still built by lawyers who have never seen a token issuance, a DAO, or a cross-border crypto revenue flow before their client walked in. They applied the nearest familiar framework. Sometimes that framework is a standard offshore company. Sometimes it is a UK LLP. Sometimes it is something invented on the spot and dressed up in confident language. None of these are inherently wrong. But all of them can be catastrophic when applied in the wrong situation. The question to ask any legal advisor before engaging them is simple: How many crypto-specific structures have you built in the last 12 months and what jurisdictions did they involve? If the answer is vague, the answer is no. If you want to work with a company that has been helping founders in crypto and blockchain build solid structures for the last 5 years, shoot me a message - We can help. G

@radigancarter Great read sir 🫡

Apple paid an effective tax rate of less than 1% on European profits for years. Legally. The structure that achieved this is not secret: It is a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction arrangement that separates where revenue is recognised from where it is generated. Corporations have used this framework for decades. The same principles, scaled appropriately, apply to individual HNWIs, crypto founders, and online entrepreneurs. The difference is not legality. The difference is access to the right information and the right advisors. A founder generating $2 million a year in crypto income, sitting in a high-tax jurisdiction with no structure in place, is paying a premium for ignorance. That premium often exceeds six figures annually. The structure to address it can typically be built in 60 to 90 days. If you are this founder, we can help! Just shoot me a message. G
