Possibly Singapore. They have very rational and simple tax laws, legal stability and are generally a good place to do business.
I'd be worried about the EU, even the more corporate friendly places (Ireland, Estonia) - the recent retroactive ruling on Apple's Irish taxes make the EU seem potentially third world-like unstable.
Of course, if you eventually plan to bring the money back to the US, probably incorporating in the US is your best bet.
- matt4077 10y agoYeah, well. technically all tax rulings are retroactive. And while we're disparaging other nations: I'd also be weary of doing business outside the US. There's some 3rd world president-impersonator on twitter who's talking an awful lot about punitive tariffs. (When he's not preoccupied with the size of his wall/hands/genitalia)
- yummyfajitas 10y agoPunitive tariffs going forward are far less scary than going back. But for different reasons than you [1], I too am leery of tieing my future to the US. I don't plan to reside there long term. [1] Trump is just a president signalling being a member of cultural out-group, I'm also an out-group member so I don't much car e. My reason for fearing the US is obligations exceeding ability to pay, a weak and sick culture, and also overbearing tax and regulatory authorities.
