The best offshore countries
There is no
single jurisdiction that is equally well suited to every case. There are
situations where offshores are not effective enough, and traditional midshores
or even onshores will be the best choice. But for the optimal solution of
a number of business and asset management tasks, tax offshores remain the best
choice, and often the only one at all.
Our recommendations (emphasis on company registration):
- Panama
offshore. The best option if you are looking for a
tax haven with a minimum of formalities and rules. The fact that many
Country offshore companies are located here is the best confirmation of
this. There are other offshores in the modern economic space (zones
with zero taxes and no explicit financial control), but it will not be
easy for them to compete with Panama.
- Nevis. The
best offshore is a Caribbean island if asset protection and privacy are a
priority, but business opportunities are also important. For example,
bearer shares, nominee service (directors, shareholders) and sole
proprietorship are allowed here.
- Cook
Islands. Another jurisdiction that focuses on asset
protection. Here it is extremely difficult to sue a legal entity, the
statute of limitations is extremely low, and claims must be submitted exclusively
in person. Country offshore companies are often registered on the
Cook Islands, especially if the main task is not just the protection of
assets, but the comfortable life of people who do not seek publicity.
- British
offshore. In this case, we are equally talking about
business in the UK and the British Virgin Islands. BVI offshore
companies are also very popular, especially given the fact that they are
not blacklisted by international financial institutions. This means
that the level of security will be quite high even in the medium term.
- Scotland. How
appropriate is the definition of a British offshore country of highlanders
and men in kilts, which usually does not appear in such ratings, is a
debatable question. But you can't argue with the facts. Scotland
is a classic European tax offshore with all the advantages that this title
has to offer.
General
recommendations on the types of tasks to be solved:
- Offshore
countries with a focus on financial services: Cook
Islands.
- Maximum
privacy: Nevis.
- Financial offshore
zones for corporate accounts: Singapore.
- Country
offshores, where our compatriots are used to keeping money:
Belize.
- Jurisdiction
for tax optimization: offshore islands (for example, the Caymans).
Custom business projects
The strategy
you follow may be different. Also you can use Ajman business setup. It
all depends on the specific case, your requirements, available initial data,
priority tasks and many other factors. Tax offshores can use traditional
schemes, and often they are quite "enough" to implement all your
ideas.
But there
are also more complex options. Traditional Country offshore companies are
no longer suitable for their implementation. The next stage of development
is international fiduciary structures. A typical example is the
registration of a company in jurisdiction A (Panamanian offshores) with
management through a nominee service. Such a structure, in turn, is
appointed by the director of company B, located in another jurisdiction (BVI
offshore), where the main assets are located.
To implement
such a scheme without errors is quite difficult and relatively
expensive. But "in return" you get an extremely high level of
security, security and privacy.
All these
advantages are provided by two different and independent of each other
corporate laws that protect offshore business to "their"
jurisdiction. In modern realities, it is no longer necessary to say that
offshore countries provide absolute security. But fiduciary structures in
this respect look much more profitable and interesting than "simple"
tax offshores.
