Hello,
I started my freelancing online teaching activity in France a few years ago, and am looking to expand and move abroad in a couple years in Czech Republic. (In France I'm stuck and can't grow the activity more without exploding my taxes and paperwork. Which is not worth it I think).
I keep wasting a lot of time and stuggle to find answers on some topics. I both struggle to find the information myself and have difficulties finding the right persons to reach out who have the knowledge.
I usually get random answers by talking to other people in my field, but struggle getting the right kind of experts to reliably get the answers I need.
I would like to become more efficient.
Here are a batch of unresolved questions I have. I don't expect to have answers here, but more as a way to help you understand what I mean:
Investment related:
-If I have saving bank accounts in various countries and currencies, what are the fees ? Should I pay taxes on the interest rates, for example if I'm Czech tax resident ?
-If I sell gold, what are the taxes for example in Czech Republic ?
Business related:
-Can I live in Czech Republic, while having my company incorporated in a third country with lower tax jurisdiction and how can it be done ? (I plan to grow my company and do less freelancing)
-If most of my customers are in France (and as such the center of my economics interests stay there), how can I make sure to be considered a tax resident elsewhere ? For example can I keep at least a bank account in France, or should I do a complete cut from France ?
-How can I create my brand ? and register my trademark ? In France, the process is very hard to understand with long delays and it's hard to get answers from the service in charge of it.
International laws:
-How can I get help in getting other passports/citizenships or permanent residencies that can be useful ? I recently got a second citizenship by descent, but maybe in the future I will need to get an additional permanent residency or citizenship if necessary. How can I get more efficient doing that, without getting lost in the paperwork again ?
Technical questions:
-Like improving my day to day processes and wasting less time (stopping to fill my google calendar myself, but making the students fill it instead / having a CRM process to have a vision of my students grades etc.. / optimizing my video lessons and taking care of the social networks ..
I tend to do it all by myself and waste a ton of time because it's not where I have expertise.
But most important, I still miss tons of information. I would love someone to give me an overview of different options that I could have in expanding my company and the ways to do it smartly. I don't know what I don't know. And feel very limited by my own knowledge.
I paid a French fiscal attorney, but hehad very limited knowledge when it comes to something very international. He mostly knew how to move abroad a company, but not having something more complex in several countries at the same time. I feel like the fees I paid didn't provide that much value. And sometimes it's just small questions that I have, and I feel I need more someone who can advise on a recurring basis.
How do you manage ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
