USES OF OFFSHORE COMPANIES
An offshore company is a flexible business tool and as such can be integrated into a wide variety of tax planning and asset protection arrangements. Reduced or deferred tax liability and increased confidentiality are just two of the benefits which can be achieved by right use of an offshore company. The practical implementation of an offshore strategy will of course depend on the anti-avoidance laws that may be in force in the country where the beneficial owner is citizen, is domiciled or does business. Therefore to all potential customers we recommend to obtain a qualified tax advice from a specialist in Your country of residence, domicile or proposed business operations.
Professional Service Company
A freelance international contractor, consultant, designer or other professional individual working for a fee can reduce his tax burden by incorporating an offshore company, through which the fees for his contracts are routed. While the professional himself would receive a fixed level of taxed remuneration (salary) from his company, the bulk of the fee income would accumulate in the name and accounts of the offshore company, in a tax-free environment. Designers, authors, consultants and entertainers may assign or contract with an offshore company the right to receive fees due under a contract for services. A further benefit of a professional services company is that potential liabilities, associated with a professional services contract, would fall upon the company, not the individual.
