Benefits of offshore structures
GENERALLY
A LUMP-SUM TAX OR PERCENTAGE TAX
In most jurisdictions, only a certain annual lump-sum governmental tax is
paid, which depends on the amount of incomes of the company.
EXEMPTION
FROM VAT, STAMP DUTY, TAX ON DIVIDENDS, CAPITAL PROFITS, PROPERTY TRANSFER,
etc.
In standard cases, an international company is exempted from all forms of
direct and indirect taxes.
NO OR MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS ON
ACCOUNTING BOOK MAINTENANCE AND AUDITS
In most jurisdictions, offshore companies are not required to conduct accounting
books, file audits or annual financial statements. This also results in
a minimum administration burden for proprietors of offshore companies.
MINIMUM INSPECTION ON THE PART OF GOVERNMENTAL INSTITUTIONS
Most jurisdictions intervene in the operation of your offshore companies
only at a minimum level.
ALMOST UNLIMITED BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
An exception is only represented by those companies which require so-called
special license (banks, insurance companies, trustees, lotteries, etc.)
ENSURING ANONYMITY OF (BENEFICIARY) OWNERS OF OFFSHORE COMPANIES
In the case of offshore companies, it is possible to use nominee directors
and nominee shareholders. In most jurisdictions, also bearer shares or transfer
of shares to a trust are permitted.
POSSIBILITY OF USE
OF DOUBLE TAXATION TREATIES
The treaties concluded between the Czech Republic and other countries in
view of double taxation avoidance (United Kingdom, Cyprus, USA, etc.).
MINIMUM OR NO REQUIREMENTS ON RESIDENCE OF SHAREHOLDER AND
STATUTORY REPRESENTATIVES
In most jurisdictions, company directors or shareholders are not required
to have residence at the place of company registration.
LOW
OPERATION COSTS
In an overwhelming majority of cases it is possible to establish a company
by not spending more than USD 1000. In the following years, the owners of
the company pay only low maintenance costs for the registered office, registration
agent and lump-sum tax.
RESPECTED JURISDICTIONS OF ANGLO-SAXON
LAW
Most offshore financial centres are members of the British Commonwealth
in the territory of which the comprehensible Anglo-Saxon law applies.
POSSIBILITY OF TRANSFERRING DOMICILE TO A NEW COUNTRY
A number of offshore jurisdictions make it possible to transfer domicile
from one country to another one. A company established e.g. in the Czech
Republic or in another country can be re-registered in an offshore jurisdiction
very easily, while keeping its name, registration date and possibly the
company registration number as in its original home country.
EASY
ESTABLISHMENT OF A COMPANY
You can establish a company very easily with the help of a fax or e-mail
order without having to visit the jurisdiction in question.
....AND
DOZENS OF OTHER ADVANTAGES
Being proprietor of an offshore company you can enjoy confidential information
protection, company asset protection and maximum flexibility concerning
the handling of company assets.
