Trade Company Saved $1,5 Mln on Taxes

One of our clients, an international trade company, was looking for ways to optimize operations and reduce tax exposure. The business was actively engaged in import and export across Europe and the CIS, but faced several challenges: receiving payments from foreign customers, managing high taxes in the original jurisdiction, handling multi-currency transactions, and securing profit reserves for future projects.

VM.Capital designed a tailored solution: we established a company in the Kyrgyz Republic with import-export status, allowing full access to cross-border trade. Multi-currency bank accounts were opened to facilitate transactions in USD, EUR, and RUB. In addition, we provided accounting and secretarial support to ensure smooth daily operations and regulatory compliance.

The results were significant. The client gained steady revenue streams from international customers, turned Kyrgyzstan into a low-tax profit center, and saved over $1.5 million in taxes. The absence of currency control simplified transactions, while dividend payouts in USD were taxed at only 10%, further increasing efficiency.

With the support of VM.Capital, the client successfully reduced costs, improved cash flow, and established Kyrgyzstan as a strategic hub for international trade management.
