Hi everyone, I relocated to Portugal a few months ago and I am in the process of creating a company abroad, my first thought was to use [Malta](https://nomadgate.com/malta/) as I lived there - But last week I met an “expert” in international taxes and he told me that it was possible to simply run a US LLC and get paid in dividend. From my understanding a US LLC being a pass through entity, you will have to pay taxes at the personal level - so at 20% under the NHR - you can’t pay yourself in dividend like you could do with a UK LTD or even a company in [Malta](https://nomadgate.com/malta/) / [Estonia](https://nomadgate.com/estonia/), etc. I would love to have the feedback of people who have a similar setup - and not from an “expert” who might be selling a service. Is there anyone under the NHR and using a US LLC or another type of company abroad? Feel free to send me a PM if you prefer, thanks in advance! ---

I’d love to know about this also. I currently have a US LLC and plan to move PT next year. Thanks.
