What I have come accross by reading many forums like this that Non-Filipino can't own any retail sector business unless the invested $$ >= 2.5M. so, just wondering how one could legally run a net cafe, small store, and other retail businesses? I may find a trustworthy friend to run the business but how I can earn the profit legally and pay the tax there on my profit when I am not the legitimate partner of the business. Then, there is other part of tax here at home with uncle Sam also .
Would you please help me in understanding the process? I may get a great opportunity doing small buisness there soon but all these rules and laws are blocking me.
I know many like me really appreciate your contribution here .
Wish you lot of success wherever and whatever you do.
When I used to do business in Korea, if I remember correctly the first $75K of foreign income was tax free on US taxes...What it is today I have no clue...RESEARCH IT...
