Hi Everyone, I recently collected some crypto profits and would like to transfer them to my Belgian bank account (I am also Belgian).
But that means that I have to hand over 33% to the tax authorities.

My girlfriend is Serbian and has a Serbian bank account.
After some research, I discovered that crypto profits in Serbia are not taxed at all.

Is it legal to send my crypto to my girlfriend's wallet, she transfers the amount to her Serbian account and then to her Belgian account?

It seems like a waterproof system, but I am really not entirely sure.

Thanks for helping me with this.

IMO it would be best to ask an experienced tax adviser.

Is your girlfriend a Belgium resident, e.g. is she spending more than 6 months in a year in Belgium? If so, she will be entitled to pay taxes in Belgium to the Serbian transfers.

If she's a Serbian resident, it could go without issues for low 5 digits. For the higher amount, it's almost certain that the bank would require AML proofs as trading transactions, etc.
