Help me decide if darks works for my online business !

Hi guys !

I need some help deciding whether darks work for me or not before hitting the upgrade button :)

So I wanted to setup an offshore with a Trust company as frontend for being able to get a paypal in European country etc. My goal was to keep everything legal and declaring taxes in my homecountry , but due to the nature of my business and concerns with possible lawsuits in the future I was thinking of protecting my identity .

In the meantime and after reading through some of the posts in the forum I realize it`s very hard (or impossible) to have a Trust for identity protection nowadays because they need the UBO and even nominating shareholders/directors in the offshore company doesn`t fix that .

Having said that, I am starting to believe it`s impossible to have such a setup working while declaring all the taxes in my homecountry ...

So as far as I understand, my only option would be to go with a darks setup, but that would mean I wouldn`t be able to pay my taxes right?

And in this case, why would I even need to go with a darks setup if I can just run everything anonymously without even registering anything? I just can`t see the benefict of having a darks setup unless that would allow me to declare my taxes without getting into trouble ... otherwise it would just be better to not have any company associated to my online business at all and just run it stealth without all the hassle .

Am I missing something here ?

Depends on your setup. You can always pay taxes if you please, eg. have a "contract" and "invoices" between your dark and another company under your more direct ownership.

Isn`t that a bit too risky ? I mean once someone goes through the company records and realizes all the operations are done with the same company it would be pretty easy to realize it`s just a front company for another one ...
