Taxes for American citizen opening business abroad
Hi there, I am an American citizen that has been living in Qatar since before I was eligible for taxes and always have filed my income as 0 as an international. I am in the process of opening a business here in Qatar with a partner and I have the following options in regards to the Commercial registration structure. At the moment my partner is planning on being 100% owner and then we have an internal agreement to split profits. This would help us circumvent local tax laws which don't apply if the owner is a local (such as my partner) Therefore I would be paying taxes on the profit as of it were my income. I could also take some share in the company (up to 49%) but then we would have to pay taxes here locally. My question is then, what structure would allow me to play as little tax as possible
