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.
