Hi all,
again I would need the help and wisdom of the community.
It is regarding what is the best way or place to register the
boat and maybe myself too. Total newbee in these topics.
Situation&plan:
I plan to circumnavigate the world and liveabord min. the next 5 till 10years, slow and where I like it I stay as long as i like it.
I placed an accepted offer (now survey) on a
OVNI 455 which is registered in
spain but VAT not paid. Quite good condition but I need to do some refits (damping,
electronics, making it mine..) so it would be good if registered and the billing adress for
parts is a tax free country.
Boat will be paid cash. Physically I will do moving on&inital
refit (mainly damping and some cosmetic) in
Spain or Italiy (Genua) and the rest during next year cruising
med (eg
Turkey is known a good a
cheap place to do get some
refit done).
I am Swiss residence (since 19 years) with a German passport but maybe leave switzerland for good.
I wanna register the boat on a company, one of the reasons its not visible to the outside that I own it (have my reasons, nothing illegal

)
What is the best place to register the boat given the situation above?
Also where it is easy to open and maintain the company (means
taxes, declarations etc..).
Well the
current owner has it registered on a company in Spain and would sell the company to me too without additional charge if i am interested. But I think thats not a good place to register eg VAT.... or am I wrong here?
