Offshore structures

Offshore finance is a more complicated business than many realise. It is not only a case of 'park your money in a bank account in an obscure foreign country and pay no taxes'. Offshore comprises not only overseas tax havens, but also more established nations with heavy tax regimes that offer low-tax alternatives in an attempt to lure the business of foreign companies.

In recent years, special low tax regimes have been established in countries with high regular tax rates. This is an attempt to attract international business, and it has provided opportunities for foreign companies seeking to reduce costs. In order to fully take advantage of such schemes, it is necessary to master a wide range of tasks related to issues such as double tax avoidance, control tests, transfer pricing, capital gains, etc. Additionally, the rules regarding these issues are constantly in flux, often changing significantly from year to year. And lastly, the tools employed by local tax advisors have over time been affected by local laws and such measures as information exchange treaties. Additionally, offshore entities have become popular as a one-stop, low-tax alternative for many firms.
