Founder/CEO Jurisprudential Consulting Group Speaker International Tax Strategy

Yaroslav Meretskyi –
international taxation,
tax residency and
capital strategy

Entrepreneur, speaker, founder/CEO of Jurisprudential Consulting Group. He speaks and advises on tax strategy, capital legalization, crypto assets, source of funds, holding structures, jurisdiction selection and capital relocation.

Tax strategy does not start with the question “where is the rate lower”. It starts with something else: where you live, where you earn, where you make decisions, where the capital will be located and where you will spend the money. That is where a mature tax model begins.

02 Media status

Talks, podcasts and
public expertise on taxes,
capital and crypto assets

I speak to entrepreneurs, investors, expats, corporate teams, fintech, developers, business clubs and professional communities. The format is a live expert conversation about taxes, residency, capital and business: with examples, cases, stage rhythm and clear logic.

03 Taxes

Taxes are not a separate folder. They are a continuation of your life,
business and capital.

Company, tax residency, family, assets, crypto, dividends, place of management, banks, origin of funds and future expenses do not exist separately. In international tax practice, all of this forms one picture. If the picture is assembled randomly, it is later assembled by the bank, compliance or the tax authority. If it is assembled in advance, it becomes strategy.

Optimization is not the moment when you have already earned the money and urgently look for an exit. It is a question that must be asked before the money enters your life.

Tax strategy
04 Main areas

Topics where structure matters more than noise

01

Tax
residency

Where you live, where your family is, where your center of interests is, where the source of income is and where you actually spend your life. Tax residency is determined not only by a passport, but by a set of facts.

  • 183 days
  • center of vital interests
  • center of economic interests
  • change of tax residency
  • exit from residency
  • double residency risks
  • Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, the UAE, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the USA
02

International
tax
strategy

Jurisdiction selection, ownership structure, dividends, salary, IP protection, companies, funds, holdings and place of effective management.

  • holding structures
  • jurisdiction selection
  • permanent establishment taxation
  • CFC
  • principles and profit allocation
  • capital taxation
  • tax model before cash-out
03

Capital
legalization

Capital must not only be earned, but also explained. Capital legalization begins with proving the story of the money: where it came from, how it moved, where it was declared and how it was used.

  • origin of funds
  • source of funds
  • source of wealth
  • capital legalization before buying real estate
  • crypto asset legalization
  • major purchases: real estate, cars, yachts, investments
  • banking compliance
  • risks of fictitious loans and artificial documents
04

Crypto assets
and taxes

Cryptocurrency does not cancel the question of the origin of funds. It changes the route of money, but does not remove the need to explain where the asset appeared, how it moved and where it was redeemed.

  • DAC8, CRS, CARF, MiCA
  • VASP / CASP
  • source of funds
  • cold wallets, exchanges, DeFi
  • buying real estate with crypto
  • fiat cash-out
  • crypto asset declaration
05

Source of funds
and banks

A bank, a notary and compliance do not ask “is there money”, but “why did it appear” and why these are confirmed funds.

  • origin of funds
  • source of wealth
  • banking compliance
  • AML / KYC
  • real estate, cars, yachts, investments
  • documents for major purchases
  • assessment when legalizing capital through loans
06

Capital and business
relocation

Relocation of a business or capital does not begin with company registration. It begins with questions about where management, control, assets and future expenses will actually live.

  • business residency
  • family and asset relocation
  • tax strategy before relocation
  • exit from residency
  • companies in the UAE, Estonia, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Cyprus, Switzerland
  • substance and real presence
07

Talks and
corporate formats

Talks for business clubs, conferences, corporate teams, consultants, groups, developers, financiers, the crypto industry and entrepreneurial communities.

  • keynote
  • business sessions
  • workshop
  • panel
  • corporate training
  • private lunch
  • audience Q&A
05 Main areas

Start from the end. Where the money
will live and where it
will be spent.

In tax strategy, you cannot start only with the rate or the country of company registration. First you need to understand where you will live, where you will make decisions, where you will spend money, where a bank will be needed, where real estate will be, where the family will be, how the origin of capital will be confirmed and where tax obligations will arise.

Only after that does it make sense to talk about jurisdictions, companies, holdings, funds, dividends, crypto assets, capital legalization and ways to move money into the personal perimeter.

Jurisdiction

Do not start
with jurisdiction

First, the facts: life, residency, source of income, expenses, assets, goals.

Structure

Do not build a structure
for the sake of structure

A company, fund, holding or VASP must solve a task, not just look beautiful in a presentation.

Cash-out

Do not postpone
the tax question until
the money is withdrawn

The most expensive mistakes happen when the money has already been earned, the capital has already been formed, and the strategy has not yet been built.

07 Speaking topics

Topics I am
invited to speak about

01

183 days of trial:
tax residency

Globe as a symbol of international tax residency
02

Crypto, taxes and
the shadow

Why cryptocurrency does not cancel source of funds, where DAC8 and CRS begin, what VASPs, banks and compliance see, and why a cold wallet does not solve everything.

Ethereum as a symbol of crypto and tax topics
03

Capital must
have a route

Capital legalization, origin of funds, banking compliance, major purchases, crypto assets, loans, real estate and documents that must be ready in advance.

Bank building as a symbol of the capital route
04

Not where it is zero,
but where your life is

The UAE, Estonia, Hong Kong, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other jurisdictions. When a foreign company truly works and when it becomes just another folder without substance.

City skyline as a symbol of relocation and jurisdiction
05

Source of funds:
money must
have a biography

How to explain the origin of funds to a bank, notary, compliance and the tax authority. Crypto, cash-outs, loans, sale of a business, dividends, real estate and major purchases.

Documents and fingerprint as a symbol of source of funds
06

Holding, fund,
company: when
a structure makes
sense

How to choose a jurisdiction, build an ownership chain, distribute profit, plan dividends, prepare for a business sale or major income.

Chess pieces as a symbol of business structure
07

Capital relocation:
before the event,
not after it

Why tax strategy must be built before cash-out, business sale, receipt of dividends, real estate purchase or change of country of life.

Compass as a symbol of capital relocation
08

Taxes as
the psychology
of an entrepreneur

Why, for people used to old business logic, taxes are not numbers but an internal conflict between the desire to win and the need to play long-term.

Brain as a symbol of entrepreneur psychology
08 Media

Videos, podcasts and public talks

The main media platform is the Jurisprudential YouTube channel. Additional materials, announcements, short clips and expert publications are released on Instagram and Telegram.

09 Cases

Cases where
facts turned out
stronger than the structure
Cases where facts
turned out stronger than the structure

All cases are published in anonymized form. Details are changed to preserve confidentiality while keeping the practical logic: where the mistake was, which fact became the trigger and how the strategy should have been built.

Coffee in Andorra

Coffee in Andorra

An attempt to confirm life in one country through bank transactions ended with a question: how did a person appear in two places almost at the same time.

A €300,000 tablet

A €300,000 tablet

A corporate purchase registered as a school device became the link between a nominal structure and the actual beneficial owner.

The bank asked for the route

The bank asked for the route

An ordinary payment became a point of review: the movement of money did not match the stated business story and required another evidentiary logic.

Documents without life

Documents without life

The formal structure looked tidy until the facts of residence, family and expenses showed where decisions were actually made.

Crypto and residency

Crypto and residency

Income in digital assets required not the choice of a convenient country, but a link between source of funds, personal perimeter, banks and future expenses.

Family changed the scheme

Family changed the scheme

The decision was built around a company, but the key factors turned out to be family, place of management and where the capital would actually be spent.
