Sorry guys, but I think there are no good countries in the EU if you want to pay the least taxes. I know Cyprus was a good one, until they chased and heard in Dutch parlement one of the (libertarian) employees that was at the top of that Cyprus trust and they ruined his life, by stripping all his assets and destroyed his company. There is a youtube video of the entire hearing if you're interested.
The easiest is (or was, I don't know any trusted ones) a trust in a low taxed over income country.
A much harder thing to do (that is, if you don't want to get caught) is to manage an overshores bank account.
The third option is to get a second passport, buy property and operate a company (doesn't have to make much profit) in a country like the first option, but that carries much more work and responsibilities. Unless you married someone in another country that knows the law or you have connections, I wouldn't bother.
Fourth option is to be a permanent traveler / tourist. In most of your life, you'll own nothing, but if you like adventure and exploration, this would be a nice option.
Fifth and probably best option, is to move to South America or SEA and get a passport and declare yours null and void. Things will get much worse in the west anyway, to a point of and collapse of a totalitarian socialist state. Nevertheless, in the end, we probably will have a world government and pay 100% taxes (i.e. communism = no property rights and will only rent for the credits we get from big brother). For the time being here on earth, the fifth solution would be best imho.
That guy saying that Netherlands has 5% tax, that's completely bs. You pay 1.3 - 1.5% on equity above 25k eur a year when you withdraw crypto -> fiat once a year. If you do it more, you will likely be on the radar of the Dutch irs and they will see it as regular income, so you pay a tax of 50% on average up to close of 60%. I've asked a technical accountant and those were his words.
You can also start your own company and write off expenses to have more than the average joe, at the cost of doing more paperwork than something you love to do, harder work and good luck getting profits in a totally socialized country, where people don't want to buy, but get things for free at the expense of others.
Good luck and tell us how you journey will be, I think most of us would love a fellow traveler to succeed
Well you mention to never get "caught" that implies tax evasion.
But there a for sure legal possibilities to lower the tax and not evade them
but I think it would require to do this over more countries.
Look at how they (the rich) legally avoid paying VAT on airplanes and ships
by registering them in Isle of Man and Tax Authorities can't do shit about this
because is 100% legal.
The system is anyway designed to tax the working class and to keep the elite at the top of the pyramid.
For example the things you say about NL 1.3 - 1.5% tax on equity is a small tax to pay if you do it once a year.
A crypto whale could do this for example withdraw 200-250 K€ once a year to comply with regulation.
I think this amount of fiat is enough to live a good life in EU within the period of 1 year of maybe event 2.
Also currently one of the country that if favorable to common people when it come to crypto is Germany.
They treat BTC as private money and the requirement is to keep it at least 1 year in your BTC account
before cashing out into FIAT that means once bought not trading should be done any more and you can withdraw after 1 year
without TAX.
This is at least what I have read on internet.
So the alternative would be to move to Germany for a year or so if you plan to withdraw a bigger amount at once.
