‘In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.’ Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790). It’s true but as regards to the second part: taxes may vary.

Offshore incorporation is a corporation or limited liability company that has been formed outside of your country of residence.

Offshore companies are sometimes known as non-resident companies.

Many people think that offshore services are only for the wealthy or for money laundering.

However, this is simply not true. Now more and more people are being dragged into paying higher and higher taxes when they could be planning of their and their family future by the effective use of legitimate offshore structure.

Going offshore is the best way to protect your personal and financial privacy, and your future well-being.

Mainly an offshore company is of three characteristics.

First, it should be incorporated under the offshore company’s regulations of relevant offshore jurisdictions.

Second, it should be incorporated by incorporators outside the offshore  jurisdiction where it is incorporated.

Last, it should not conduct substantial business within the offshore jurisdiction where it is incorporated.

By incorporating offshore you can become judgment-proof, as the world-wide courts are not recognized in the offshore jurisdictions, and tax-free, as there are no taxes assessed on in offshore trusts or International Business Companies formed in offshore jurisdictions.

The main reasons for incorporation offshore and formation are the following:

To save tax – An offshore company can form part of an overall taxation reduction strategy for certain individuals or entities.

To have greater ease of operation – Many offshore centres make it very easy for companies incorporated locally to trade if they do not transact locally and they are not involved in banking or financial services.

To achieve a higher level of anonymity - A number of overseas centres offer the option of having nominee director for the establishment of a company and others also manage to keep the names of directors and shareholders off public record.

Reducing Tax Liability – A foreign jurisdiction can offer unparalleled opportunities for reduction of your tax liability.

Keep business affairs confidential – Offshore Companies offer complete privacy. If the company shares are held by a Trust, the ownership is legally vested in the trustee, thus gaining the potential for even greater tax planning advantages.

Estate Planning – Private Foundations, and Offshore Protective Trusts for accumulation of investment income and long-term benefits for beneficiaries on a favorable tax basis (without inheritance, income, or capital gains taxes);

Protect assets – In combination with a Trust, an offshore company can avoid high levels of income; capital and death taxes that would otherwise be payable if the assets were held directly.

It can also protect assets from creditors and other interested parties.

Incorporation Offshore is not only a priority for the “Rich”.

The main and the most popular way to protect one’s assets and save on taxes is to register an offshore company (IBC) and open a bank account for it outside the country of usual residence.
