I think you're referring to the same setup as rprasad was talking about in his comment ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3055493 ). (If I'm correct) When a US company pays divi…

Thank you for your answer. I understand I have to talk to a professional. Asking on a place like HN however, allow me to be better prepared when I eventually do so.

That's a great reply. Thank you. Maybe you could save comments like these and put them on taxgeek.com :-). I'm not trying to evade taxes. I'm European, and I pay taxes here. Still,…

According to the 'VAT on e-Services' directive of the European Union companies that are not based in the EU companies should charge VAT on sales of "electronically supplied service…

You don't need to be in America to 'make success'. There are many non US startups that did very well. Also, getting into the US to startup is nearly impossible, so you'll have to l…
