Private client - Tax planning
© Corbis 2003
The investor should take advantage of the tax planning process, allowing to increase safety and confidentiality of the assets, as well as to save, legally, on taxes. This can be achieved by the use of a Seychelles company orof a non-resident Mauritius trust as well as a Jersey foundation. Tax planning is a wise choice for the crisis period, as any money saving and cost reduction is mandatory. Double taxation treaties between two jurisdictions, including the residential one of the investor, will lower taxes.
Tax treaties
Double taxation treaties have many applications, some for the private individual, and other for the company. The investor and the business benefit from a wise choice to attain the low tax objective, without risk. This is applicable in Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia and Oceania. In the absence of any double treaty for a specific use, the use of an offshore company, holding, trust or foundation will ease the process and lead to the tax planning solution. Another option from EUR250, 000 of assets is to use a dedicated fund under the law of Luxembourg.
Tax planning for businessmen
For the international businessman, the use of an offshore company will avoid to pay any tax, as well as book-keeping, audit and reporting. For the trading of commodities or operations of commerce, a European holding, or a several companies combination will allow a low tax rate (3 to 5%) on these operations. Our service offers the offshore company and the corporate bank account in the same jurisdiction.
