Cosa è una residenza Fiscale ?

La residenza fiscale è il “luogo in cui la persona ha la sua dimora abituale” mentre il domicilio fiscale è il luogo stabilito dalla persona, come sede principale dei suoi affari e interessi e come luogo per ricevere la notifica di tutti gli avvisi e comunicazioni ufficiali dell’Agenzia delle Entrate.

Perchè è vantaggioso chiedere una residenza fiscale ?

È vantaggioso possedere una o più residenze fiscali per la possibilità di gestire un´attività offshore o differenti attività offshore coordinandole con il fisco più idoneo a quella attività. Non è una semplice questione di pagare più o meno imposte, ma di poter avvantaggiarsi di Free Trades, sotto forma di convegni, trattati di libero scambio e anche imposte differenti e spesso pari a Zero. Per il soggetto provato invece , una residenza fiscale gli permette di decidere dove essere tassato ed in base a cosa, ritenendo un luogo più opportuno rispetto ad un altro.

Devo aprire una società per fare la residenza a Panama ?

lL convegno a cui, voi, come italiani vi rifarete per chiedere la residenza permanente a Panama si chiama ” Trattato di Amicizia ” in termini gergali e ufficialmente ” Convegno di Commercio e Navigazione Panama Italia”. Come noterete il nome legale fa enfasi sulla parola commercio e navigazione. Il convegno fu creato per garantire due cose : la residenza e poi la cittadinanza a Panama degli Italiani. Per ottenere la residenza e poi avere diritto alla cittadinanza, gli Italiani devono dimostrare un legame ” Commerciale” con la repubblica di Panamá. Questo obbliga all’ apertura di una società di cui voi siate unicamente i veri proprietari e unici azionisti ( o azionisti al 50%) di una società, una e una sola .Questo requisito spesso viene non compreso o volutamente omesso da advisor da strada, come chiamati a Panama, ovvero le ultime risorse che cercano clienti , il cui scopo non è di garantire un procedimento legale di trasferimento a Panama, ma lucrare sulle spalle dei poveri clienti che per risparmiare sulla società accettano il rischio . Cosa succede ? Essenzialmente il cliente non paga la società, ma solo il procedimento legale per l’ ottenimento della residenza . Il suo advisor forse solo una front page di qualche studio legale poco fortunato, utilizzerà una società riciclata centinaia di volte cambiando le azioni della stessa a nome dell’ ultimo malcapitato. Il malcapitato procederà all’ ottenimento della residenza che inizialmente gli verrà fornita. Dopo 1 o due anni a una consueta revisione della migrazione, si scopre che la stessa società di cui il cliente non ne sapeva nulla viene messa in black list per i troppi casi di clienti divenuti residenti tramite la stessa residenza . Il risultato , annullata la residenza, e impossibilitato a riottenerla per il resto della sua vita. Peggio se si arriva allo scadere dei 5 anni, e alla richiesta di cittadinanza si effettua la revisione dei requisiti passati e si scopre se non si è fatto prima il caso di negligenza voluta ma occultato al cliente. Ecco quindi un tipico caso di ” offerta last minute” in cui cadono in numerosi.

What is Geo Arbitrage?

A bridge between two worlds that allows you to reduce costs

Geographical arbitrage allows you to reduce long and short term living costs. Just like the Las Americas bridge in Panama, arbitrage is a bridge of union between an expensive strong currency country that you want to take advantage of for its corporate and tax free base with strong currency and a low cost country with weak currency where to actually live.

It requires a life plan

To make it possible to apply geographical arbitrage in your life you need to plan it by choosing at least two countries through which to implement it.

Live where it costs you least

You will live where it costs you least and where you can take advantage of currency arbitrage between the country where you will do business and from which you will receive funds in hard currency and the economic country in weak currency where you will spend these resources to your advantage.

The best destinations

Certified that the best destinations to start with are Panama and Mexico where Panama means the country with a strong currency and Mexico the one with a weak currency and with a high but economical standard of living.

Geographic arbitrage for expats and digital nomads

What is Geo Arbitrage? Geo Arbitrage is the well-known technique used by experienced digital nomads and more sophisticated expats to manage their finances and tax residency in such a way that both yield the best and most efficient results, both practically and financially.

Geo-arbitrage is commonly used by expats and digital entrepreneurs, known as digital nomads. But what exactly does geo-arbitrage involve, and why is it worth it?

How Geo Arbitrage is applied

The basic definition of geo arbitrage is taking advantage of the difference in costs between two geographic locations, despite having the same type of lifestyle.” Geographic arbitrage is essentially making money in a strong currency and spending in a weaker currency. So normally the usual set up of the most experienced expatriates and of all digital nomads attentive to their finances and living costs is:

Physical Residence in Panama (for reasons of extraterritoriality and corporate tax residence, Zero Tax and territorial taxation, anonymity being tax havens) where companies are incorporated and an anonymous offshore account is opened where cash can be made in American dollars given that the national currency in Panama is the Dollar USA.
Tax residency in Mexico or Colombia , where you register with AIRE, and you have a transparent and fiscal residency without the burden of proof towards the Italian tax authorities or those of any other European country.
In Mexico and Colombia the cost of living is up to 4 times lower than in Panama and you spend in Dollars earned in Panama by taking advantage of the monetary arbitrage between the two countries and multiplying your purchasing power many times over when you buy local goods and merchandise priced in the weak local currency (For Mexico MXN , For Colombia COP ). *
Note: Mexico is more convenient because it has lower inflation rates than Colombia, which is why we do not consider countries like Argentina or Venezuela, because despite the favorable exchange rate they have inflation rates that increase every month by up to +20%.

What to do to start living according to geo arbitrage or geographic arbitrage

geoarbitrage-geographic-arbitrage-how-is-it-done-studiopanamaitalia.com

All our clients, after a year or two of obtaining residency, especially residency in Panama (or its equivalent in Paraguay), begin to understand that the real advantage of being a resident in Panama (or Paraguay) is precisely geo-arbitrage, that is, living in a country other than Panama or Paraguay where they can practice geographic arbitrage and often also apply other methodologies necessary for financial savings.

That's why, to begin practicing geographic arbitrage, start by taking up residency in Panama, a country with a strong currency but expensive to live in. Meanwhile, begin building your physical residency plan, where you'll live and take up tax residency by registering with AIRE. Our advice: consider Mexico or Colombia.

Geographic arbitrage works by exploiting financial opportunities in multiple locations. For example, a smart person in Milan or Monte Carlo might not want to sell their house and move permanently to Mexico. Instead, they could rent their apartment on Airbnb or put it up for long-term lease.

This way, you could cover a good portion of your expenses in Mexico with the hard currency (euros) you'd use, which comes from passive income where you don't need to work. It's a particularly smart move if you can spend that season in places like Mexico or Colombia, which offer much cheaper accommodations.

The dynamics and examples are endless. It's up to the client to decide. If you'd like to take advantage of geo-arbitrage, contact us.

Origin of Geographic Arbitrage

Geographic arbitrage is a term coined by the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement. FIRE advocates combine investments with a typically well-paying job to achieve the dream of retiring in their 40s or even 30s.

One of their main tactics is to take advantage of local living costs across the country and even the world to keep the cost of living as low as possible, thus extending the value and lifespan of saved/earned money and making early retirement possible.

If you're considering this move for yourself, you may want to work with a financial advisor first to get your finances in order and ensure you're set up for success. Contact one of our financial advisors for expert advice on how, where, and when to relocate, and how to begin your personal geographic arbitrage project and planning.
