 Tax Havens and How They Rate

 

With nearly a quarter of a century of experience we believe that our research must count for something when clients are looking for the best tax haven. We could take up your valuable time by trying to impress you with our knowledge and telling you all about the technical requirements of each jurisdiction, or with an insight into the country geography and people. However, only the purists and new entrants will want such information. We have it available for them (just ask) but for you we show the results of our ongoing research below. We have covered other jurisdictions but do not comment on them here because in our view they do not measure up to the best. Take a look at our Companies House.

 

Each client has a different need to the previous one. If you ask for our view we will look at your own needs and select the one that best fits your profile. Most clients will have already decided which is the best for them based upon their own research.

Clever IBC

 

The clear winner in our view is New Zealand with its unsurpassed flexibility. Its only drawback being in the area of acceptance due to most people not being familiar with what it can offer. When privacy is important to you then you should not look past Vanuatu.

 

Please remember:

  • That there is always two sides to a story. We can guide you in the use of the legislation of the jurisdictions that we incorporate in, but we cannot be expert on the law of every country meaning that we leave it to you to know your own countries legislation, either with your personal knowledge, or through the use of your professional advisor.

  • A good structure uses the law to best advantage. It does not rely upon non-disclosure to evade tax.

  • Remember that is it not the name with which transactions are done that is important but who controls the structure.
