Hi All,
After much thought and reading of your posts I think I have narrowed down what I want to do, I am just unclear if a)it is doable, and b) how to go about it and where to start if it is.
Barring a terrible trip this Christmas and assuming that we like the area we are looking to move to Sosua in the next year or two depending on release from the military. Since we will not have the opportunity to visit more than once or twice we would like to rent for at least the first 6 months to be sure before we commit to buying property.
Here are my issues:
I do not want to commit to buying property right away but I want to ship my belongings right away. However, I want to take advantage of the import tax break but I am under the impression you either need to own property to do that or be a resident.
So,can I get a residency before moving? How do I get to take advantage of the tax break without owning property?. We want to ship our vehicle, and a motorcycle and while I realize that is not reccommended we are kind of attached to them but without a break on the taxes it will be an expensive endevour.
Does anyone know how we can accomplish all this? We don't want to leave our stuff in storage until we buy because then we would need to rent a vehicle and it can be pretty expensive. Basically we are looking for the most convenience with the least expense! Any thoughts?
