Offshore company incorporation is increasingly under the microscope, though its popularity remains strong. Although approximately two thirds of total global financial assets are in offshore 'tax havens’, the dynamics of these jurisdictions, and therefore offshore company incorporation, are changing. The main drivers of change related to offshore company incorporation are: |
|
1. |
Asia’s booming economies, strong banking confidentiality and business-firendly economies are fuelling a flow of capital from the traditional banking centres in Western Europe to Asia. Healy Consultants is therefore witnessing increased demand for offshore company incorporation in Asia. |
2. |
Some tax havens are reportedly succumbing to international pressure from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to exchange confidential information about corporations and bank accounts. This affects some entrepreneurs' thinking about offshore company incorporation. |
3. |
However, some Asian jurisdictions are refusing to cooperate with the OECD requests. Well established, reputable jurisdictions such as Singapore and Hong Kong, whose economies offer outstanding investment opportunities, remain particularly attractive locations for offshore company incorporation. These locations are also popular because they permit international profits to be legally tax-free. Additionally, Offshore company incorporation is popular in jurisdictions such as Dubai, Ireland.
|
4. |
Healy Consultants is witnessing a decline in interest in offshore company incorporation in traditional offshore jurisdictions such as the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and the Bahamas. |
5. |
Although traditional tax havens continue to offer advantges for entrepreneurs deciding on offshore company incorporation, they are attracting an increasingly negative stigma. |
6. |
Governments in most countries continue to impose high taxes to fund development as their populations and economies grow. This should ensure that offshore company incorporation remains a legal, effective way to protect assets. |
