The Many Benefits Of Incorporating Offshore
|
In this article you are going to learn just a few of the powerful benefits of
incorporating your business offshore.
According to Rhiannon Williamson, who is the proprietor of Shelter Offshore
http://www.shelteroffshore.com
incorporating offshore can incur one or more of five benefits to the member(s): |
>> Simplified operations.
Depending on where the corporation is chartered and the
nature of the business, auditing and accounting procedures
are far less demanding. (This is not true of financial
service industries, incidentally.) Basically, you’ll spend
less time doing paperwork.
>> Simplified reporting. As you remember from the last
chapter, every state has its own reporting requirements,
whether or not you actually operate inside that state. Since
business activities of an “offshore” corporation rarely take
place in the jurisdiction of incorporation, there are
generally far fewer reporting requirements. In addition, you
most likely won’t need to provide much in the way of
personal information about your company’s director(s) - in
other words, yourself.
>> Reduced taxation. Most rules state that a company set up
in a particular jurisdiction must pay taxes only on income
derived from the local economy – so if you’re set up in the
Bahamas yet never make any actual money there, you can
legally operate tax-free. Basically, the way large
multi-national corporations operating in the U.S. do it is
to use an offshore company as part of their overall
international business structure, then post their profits in
the offshore jurisdiction – thereby incurring no tax
liability.
>> Asset protection. Incorporating in a jurisdiction
different from the one in which you actually do business can
enable you to shield assets from potential lawsuits and
actually keep business transactions out of view from
potential competitors.
>> Personal privacy. Not only are reporting requirements far
less stringent when it comes to personal info on the
company’s owner(s) and members, many jurisdictions allow you
to protect your own identity by appointing proxies for your
offshore corporation.
Popular Offshore Jurisdictions
Most of these are located in the Caribbean, with a handful
in Asia. At least one of these jurisdictions – Puerto Rico –
actually offers the best of both worlds. An entity can
operate under the protection of U.S. law while enjoying many
of the benefits of an offshore jurisdiction (see below).
When selecting an offshore jurisdiction in which to
incorporate, you’ll need to ask yourself several questions,
as each jurisdiction has its own set of rules and
regulations. For example:
>> How much privacy will you need?
>> Will you be using “Double Taxation” treaties (agreements
that allow profits from high-tax countries to be extracted
to tax havens as interest, royalty payments or management
fees)?
>> In which countries do you intend to do business?
>> Is your company a business, a consulting firm or a
financial and investment services provider?
>> How much are you prepared to spend on annual fees?
>> Will you be issuing shares?
>> Do you intend to use proxies?
>> What are your current profits?
>> What is your capitalization level, and what are the
repayment terms?
Your answer to these questions will have a great deal to do
with where you choose to set up your off-shore company.
