Under Russian tax law, a company is a tax resident in Russia if (a) it is incorporated in Russia, (b) its management and central control are in Russia, or (c) if a treaty deems it to be in Russia. Estonia has no tax treaty with Russia, so (c) is not relevant. In your case, (a) is also not relevant. Point (b) is more interesting: do you live in Russia and exercise management of your Estonian company in Russia?
If yes, then you own a Russian-resident company and Russian corporate tax law is applicable. You are required to prepare financial statements and file corporate tax returns in Russia. Presumably there's also many foreign ownership disclosure requirements.
Please consider discussing your case with a tax advisor if you have not already done so. I would never ever easily recommend a citizen of an OECD country incorporate a company overseas without first thoroughly researching disclosure requirements and tax law. Please be careful as tax laws generally are of the "go straight to jail" type.
I wish this Estonian e-residency program would contain more warnings in red about the significant impact such a foreign company will have on a shareholder. This applies to Atlas as well--non-US-residents need to be extremely careful with US corporations as there's a good chance they will not actually be resident in the US.
In many OECD countries, if you, a resident of a state, incorporates a company in another state, and you control that company from your home country, your company in the foreign jurisdiction will be deemed a resident in your home country and require tax returns in your home country. I am perplexed by the number of people setting up businesses outside their country, not realizing the numerous disclosures and extremely complicated tax planning that comes with it.
EDIT: I just realized connecting from outside the US shows a contract between Coinbase UK, whereas when using a VPN from the US shows Coinbase Inc. So please disregard.
2 double shot espressos, one early morning, and one late morning. No coffee after noon.
1 glass of watered red wine with dinner (my only meal each day). When going out, I will have 2-3 glasses of wine, but only once every two weeks or so. The rest of the time I'll drink Perrier or soda water.
3-4 glasses of water a day. More on workout days, but I find on a ketogenic diet my water requirements are less. I don't add salt to my food, and I cook all my meals. I don't use condiments either.
I don't drink tea, energy drinks, juice, smoothies, or pop. What I enumerated above is what I drink.
My meal plan is very simple. I follow zerocarb (meat and eggs only, no vegetation of any kind) and eat once a day only. Meals are always 3 or 4 eggs with 1 kg of steak, lamb, goat, or duck. I only drink water or Perrier. And before you ask, no, I do not get bored with a rare ribeye and eggs 4 nights a week.
I realize this approach is "out there" for most people, but over the last year it has produced great results in reaching my body fat percentage goal and increasing my lifts (Greyskull LP). I have no sugar cravings, no glucose crashes, and no hunger during the day.
It was difficult on two fronts: weaning myself off a carb rich diet, and then switching to 2 meals a day, and eventually 1 meal a day.
To be clear, I'm not recommending anyone switch to intermittent fasting or zerocarb without reading the rationale and critique of those two approaches. I have spent considerable time reading and experimenting over several years, and this is where I ended. I have put my parents on the same regime, and in the last six months their health considerably improved. They miss fruit, but my father is near diabetic and cannot tolerate any sugar, even "natural" sugars from fruit.
And contrary to popular belief, fiber is not required if you eat meat only. It is probably recommended if you eat vegetables, but I have consumed pretty much zero fiber for almost a year now and it works fine. Once again, don't take my word, but rather read the origins of why fiber is considered important, and then a critique of that assessment.
I use LinkedIn. I'm not a tech guy and work in tax. Whenever I meet clients, I add them on LinkedIn and leverage that to find more introductions. I know LinkedIn isn't well liked in the tech space, but for global businesses doing infrastructure development, it works exceedingly well.
For relationship management, I try to meet at least 6 clients face-to-face every week.
Can you clarify the meaning of "operate?" Do you mean operate or is being managed?
If you mean "operate," then there isn't really much to add. If you are performing some sort of SaaS (like Netflix), the US company will pay tax on worldwide profits. The other jurisdiction may assess a withholding tax, but in practice it is difficult to collect it from consumers. If you have people selling things in another country and concluding contracts, you may have a permanent establishment in that other country and be required to file branch financial statements and pay tax thereon.
If you mean "managed from a second country," things get more complex. If the "mind and management" of the company is in another country, that country will probably take a position that the US company is subject to the local tax laws. For example, if you are a Canadian that owns a US company or corporation and you control it from Canada, then Canada will deem that company or corporation to be a tax resident and you must file a Canadian corporate tax return in addition to all your US filings. You will need to look at the US-Canada Tax Treaty carefully to see how this plays out. In particular, the tie-breaker rules and anti-avoidance rules.
I'm a tax practitioner. I shudder when I see how many people are opening US companies without looking at their home country rules. Before you consider opening a US company, ask yourself:
(1) What is my foreign affiliate disclosure requirements?
(2) Will my US company be liable for tax in my home country? Will my US company be a tax resident in my home country?
(3) What are the residency rules and tie-breakers under my country's tax treaty with the United States? (If you don't have a treaty, it should light up as a red flag.)
(4) Do I have a budget to pay for local tax advice and compliance, and US tax advice and compliance, each year?
I had in mind YC companies. They are required as a matter of procedure to incorporate in the US before funding is released.
I always had a nagging suspicion it is a more complex issue than meets the eye.
In many cases these companies (operating in markets outside the US)also frequently incorporate in their home countries (which host their target markets) eg India, South-Africa, Nigeria as the case may be
I cannot upvote you enough. Juicing gives you the ability to easily consume a cup of flavored sugar water. Now throw in all the "healthy" raw kale and spinach and some seeds, and you end up with a concoction that is high in sugar, high in fructose, high on phytates, and high in oxalates.
There are reasons why our ancestors soaked, fermented, and sprouted various vegetation--to reduce the toxicity associated with consuming it raw and untreated.
