Remote Working & Digital Nomad

Freelance

Remote Jobs

Not Remote, but this might help:

Digital Nomad

A person who works 100% Remote from any location they like, such as tropical beaches or back home with their family roots.

Offshore Payroll is Easy

There is no excuse for a company to not hire someone in another country or who lives as a Digital Nomad today, they can just pay via one of these companies:

Overseas Companies

No UK Ltds - Boycott This

Do not run a UK Ltd.

It is high tax (25% corporation tax) and they retained capital/assets on Companies House for anybody on the internet to see.

US LLC

0% tax as a Non-Resident LLC as long as you don't hire anybody in the US, don't live in the US, and don't have a business address in the US.

Profits are paid out and taxes are handled in the resident country (UAE 0%!).

US LLC is useful to get access to US banking for things like selling online courses. Charging from a foreign company such as in UAE may result in a bunch of declined card payments (eg. from Stripe), leading to sales attrition and loss of conversions. People will also feel more comfortable buying from a US company than some random overseas company.

US Bank Account

  • Mercury - technically not a bank, but rather a fintech company. WARNING: Mercury uses partner banks, who de-risked causing thousands of client accounts being closed.
