Going Offshore with a Company or Corporation – 10 Top Where and Why’s

Posted by admin on December 21, 2011 at 3:52 am

The thought of using offshore companies and bank accounts  Company or Corporation was once the domain of the rich and famous.

The Swiss bank account, the residence in Monaco, Ronny Biggs Company or Corporation in Brazil! A dichotomy of images that nearly always never related to the average man in the street. But times have changed, and with the globalisation of the world economy through the internet, the accessibility to tax panning through offshore vehicles for the average  Company or Corporation investor has now become real.So what are the benefits of investing offshore? and more importantly today, in a world  Company or Corporation where information is king and governments around the globe are using the threat of terrorism to pry into every individuals private affairs, where should one look to escape  Company or Corporation the prying eyes?

1. Saving Taxes

It may seem obvious but it is definitely Company or Corporation the main reason for investing through an offshore company or corporation. As a resident of say, the US or the UK, you are  Company or Corporation governed by a tax regime that taxes an individual income wherever  Company or Corporation it is earned in the world. This means that even if you earn money from an offshore business you are liable to pay income tax at the prevailing rate and should declare such income on your  Company or Corporation annual tax returns.

An offshore company or corporation however, is a completely separate.

legal entity from you  Company or Corporation as an individual. It may carry on business, own assets and pay debts and liabilities of the company through its offshore bank accounts without there ever  Company or Corporation being any liability for you as an individual to make a declaration in your country of residence.

In its simplest form an offshore  Company or Corporation bank account could earn gross interest on a deposit for years enhancing its real return through gross roll up of interest. Tax would only be payable Company or Corporation if the deposit was cash and returned to the individuals country of residence by which time it would have grown  Company or Corporation substantially more than if it had been receiving interest taxed at source. Of course an offshore company and bank account offers a much wider scope for investment than this and methods of distributing Company or Corporation income through visa cards and other offshore vehicles means that an individual may conduct much of his investment strategy without ever having a liability to tax in his country of residence.2. European Tax Havens May Be Places to Avoid Company or Corporation.

As mentioned in the opening paragraph, the places we most  Company or Corporation.

associate with offshore tax havens are the Monaco’s and Switzerland’s of this world. Recent events though in Liechtenstein and the increasing propensity of the Euro Zone governments to force European  Company or Corporation tax havens to disclose private individuals informations has meant that tax havens outside the scope of European pressure have become much more in demand. Panama and Guatemala are two such  Company or Corporation countries whose privacy laws are second to none and who have, since the stabilization of their economies  Company or Corporation and politics, become sort after destinations for offshore company accounts.

Panama is no newcomer to the offshore company environment. In the 1970′s it held more company accounts for offshore corporations than all the Caribbean islands combined. It resurgence to reliable tax haven status owes much to the modernization of its banking system and its Company or Corporation accessibility to the US. For those wishing to gain expatriate status, it has a moderate climate and exceptional laws benefiting ‘pensioners’. (The ‘pensionada’ laws apply to anyone over the age of 18 with a pensionable income – they provide discounts for citizens covering all  Company or Corporation aspects of everyday life)

Whatever your circumstances both Panama and Guatemala have the tightest of privacy laws and with no taxation charge on offshore transactions, you can be assured that your monetary Company or Corporation affairs are not only private, but they are also tax free.

In the title I stated that there were ten good where and whys to investing offshore. I may have slightly over exaggerated the facts. That is unless you remember that reasons 3 to 10 are also saving tax, saving tax, saving tax… and privacy Company or Corporation.
