The Offshore Company

A company can be incorporated in the offshore jurisdiction most suited to your needs. Once incorporated there are a number of significant advantages.

  • Perpetual existence - the fact that it cannot die provides a measure of protection against probate and foreign estate tax issues

  • Change in asset allocation - if, for example, you own a share portfolio in the United Kingdom, your asset is situated in the UK. If that same portfolio is held through an offshore company, the shares of which you own, then your asset is situated in the offshore jurisdiction, thus potentially providing tax planning advantages

  • Ability to change the nature of receipts flowing through the company - if rental income is received by the company, this may be paid to shareholders as a dividend, with potential tax benefits
