I am planning to work remotely from the DR so I can be with my wife, our baby girl and two stepchildren while she awaits her visa interview (possibly 8-12 more months to go). My job will not involve selling anything or hiring employees only doing the work I normally do from the office at my computer from a home in the DR. I would like to make everything as simple as possible.
The complicating factor is that my company will require I establish a foreign entity for their liability and tax purposes so they can retain my services as an independent contractor. I was thinking that it might be best to have this done under my wife's name so that I do not have to establish residency in the DR. Can anyone offer any assistance on the best approach to my situation and where I can find legal assistance in the DR to make this happen? I will need an English speaking lawyer that is preferably based in La Vega though Puerto Plata is probably a more realistic option.
What are the taxes like compared to the US assuming I generate $80-100K in revenue/income?
Also, if anyone has any experience with the reliability of satellite internet connection to convey using Unasat system. I am required to have a reliable internet as a condition for being allowed to work remotely.
