OFFSHORE COMPANIES
We especially recommend the Seychelles and Panama. They are both independent nations, have great corporate secrecy & bank secrecy, hassle free registration procedure, no accouting requirements and zero taxation for International Business Companies.
USES OF AN OFFSHORE COMPANY
Investment Holding Company
Both high net worth individuals and large corporations often use offshore companies to hold assets in a tax and privacy friendly way. It may be cash, earning tax-free interest, stocks or mutual funds, earning tax-free dividends and avoiding capital gains tax and/or it may be properties, avoiding capital gains tax .
As we said before one of the main reason is that the owner wants to keep his/hers privacy. Another reason may be that they want to avoid inheritance tax.
A solid package may be our Panama Foundation & Panama Company with two corporate bank accounts, for only 3440 EUR. Our law firm in Panama can customize the Foundation according to your needs.
For EU-Holding, we recommend Cyprus.
International Trading Company
International trading is the purchase of goods in low cost production countries e.g. China, India, Thailand etc. and selling them to distributors in high income market areas e.g. USA, Europe, Australia etc., where the actual trading operation may take place from a third country. The goods bought by the trading company are sent directly from the country of origin to the country where they are to be sold.
Significantly improved profits can be achieved by forming a company which will be used as a trading medium for buying, shipping, and selling the goods.
Most of the profits will be retained by the new trading company that would otherwise be lost in taxation to authorities at the original home location of the trading operation.
Professional Service Companies
Many private individuals engaged in providing consultation in finance, oil/offshore, construction, engineering, aviation, computer, advertising, film and entertainment could make substantial tax savings by setting up an offshore structure. The individuals can be employed by their own low tax company, and the profits generated will flow into this entity.
Through proper tax planning, it’s possible to minimize personal income tax.
