BVI Business Company Incorporation for German Indie Developers
Incorporating a BVI Business Company provides a zero-tax environment for software development operations. German residents must navigate strict foreign entity disclosure requirements under AO §138.
Economic substance regulations require BVI companies to demonstrate adequate local presence and management. Failure to align these structures with German tax law may result in full taxation of company profits at the shareholder level.
