You're discovering the global financial system is primarily for the rich, and not wage slaves like us. Free to those who can afford it

Its always the caste lobbying for regulations "for the good of all" that break countries apart. My country's (Argentina) largest political party lives on by heavy corporativism, otherwise they would have been booted a long time ago.

Start a limited liability company in Latvia or Estonia. It will take you 1 business day, you can do it remotely, and, because of EU laws, you can do business everywhere in EU. Basically nothing you can do with Gmbh that you cannot do with Latvian or Estonian equivalent

The tax office can decide that the company is, in fact, a German company if the founder lives and operates in Germany. Now the company paperwork has to be done in two countries. I don't know what the tax implications are.

Applies to all EU countries btw, you can't just choose a different jurisdiction for your new company risk-free.

The tax office WILL 100% decide you have to pay corporate taxes in Germany - and it does not need to decide that in the first place, you will have to report it proactively on your own to the tax office and file for taxes.
