New to Todos Santos, and building a small beachfront glamping site.
Hello,
I just moved to Todos Santos and I am building a Glamping area on my land.
I have ALOT of questions (permits, septic, water) on how to do all of this stuff.
Unfortunately my spanish is TERRIBLE, and I need someone to who knows their stuff to chat with. I will be happy to buy a beer. Thank you

The Todos Santos Brewery features some very good beers. Even so, it might take at least two.

You would be well served by learning the local language.
Best of luck with your project.

Oh, you didn't, but Mula suggested it.
Welcome to Nomad and I wish you success. Naturally, I have questions but they are more curiosity than constructive...
Are you a Mexican citizen or married to one? It generally takes a special visa for foreignors to live and work in Mexico for an income.
How long have you been going to Baja California and do you know your neighbors well enoung to ask for referrals?
'cabobaja' has sent you a u2u, which is a private message here on Baja Nomad (click the blue text on the top, right of the page).
Todos Santos was the location of an important mission visita and two Spanish missions, so it has been a popular place for quite some time!

Great... Glamping sites? What has Baja come to.
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Me thinks, most people know that Todo Santos isn’t a true representation of Baja….
It should be called “Gringo Shores” or the like ?
But, whatever floats their boat ?
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

Care to expound on what you find so offensive about this?

You do realize, as was pointed out, that you will require either temporary residency with permission to work, or permanent residency, which carries
with it the ability to work here? And you need to be registered with the Mexican Tax Dept, declare your earnings, and pay the applicable taxes? So you
will also need a Mexican accountant. And if you are a US citizen, you also need to report and pay taxes on your business in the US.

I.e. double taxation? I question that.
You're Canadian, right? How do you know about U.S. tax law? |
For one thing, the tax treaty between the US, Canada and Mexico prevents double taxation, but a lot of people misunderstand what that means. It does
not mean that you don't have to report your income in both countries, nor does it mean you aren't required to pay tax on your earnings in both
countries. What it means is that the tax you pay in one country will be deducted from the tax you owe in the other.
So let's say the income tax someone owes on the rentals they have in Mexico is 4%. But in the US or Canada, they may be in a 15% tax bracket. The 4%
they paid in Mexico will be deducted from the 15% they owe up north, meaning they will owe 11% up there.
That's how "no double taxation" tax treaties work.
And all US citizens are required to report and are taxed on worldwide income. The US and Eritrea are the only countries in the world who tax their
citizens, as opposed to their residents.
Why would being Canadian preclude someone from being cognizant of US tax law?

Well, I'm not particularly interested in US tax law, I just know how the tax treaty works, as I run a business in Mexico, and I was born and raised in
the US, but relinquished US citizenship back in the 70's, when I became a Canadian citizen, but never formally renounced, so researched US tax law as
regards who is subject to US reporting.

Pretty arrogant post Surabi.
Not only do your _many_ assumptions fail to answer any of my questions, but they are also ignorant redundant and bordering on egotistical.
But thanks for showing me how intelligent you are.
Ill keep that in mind if I ever need an assumptive, self indulged, grump.
cheers.

Egotistical? What does stating facts have to do with me personally? You already said you don't speak Spanish, amd you are on a forum asking about
septic and water, i.e. things specific to your area and property, which you could research yourself. It's not a big leap to think you may not be aware
of what is required to run a business in Mexico.
As far as presumptuous, you want to be able to pick someone's brain about everything you don't know, in exchange for a beer.

I don't see where her responses to you are out of line at all. She sounds pretty informative and knowledgeable. Never have I found her responses
arrogant or grumpy.
You seem to be the one in need of an "attitude" adjustment.

Try contacting Alba Walker at the Paper Chase Company in La Paz. A very knowledgeable attorney.

With that attitude and a lack of language skills your level of success is guaranteed.

There's no need to consult an attorney to find out what permits are required or how to hook up to local septic and water. That is information one gets
from their local municipal offices. And an accountant, not an attorney, is who one would consult regarding registering a business with the tax dept
and what taxes will be charged.
