| What's the cheapest offshore company formation service? |
I'm from the EU, and would like to open a company (either inside or outside the EU) that would allow me not to pay VAT when buying Internet services from the EU (typically from Germany). It would also provide me with a more professional name to hold all my domains and Internet services, and help me keep my home address private.
Can anyone suggest a good service that will take care of this? Cheapest meaning it shouldn't be too expensive to open AND maintain, as I won't really be trading anyway (using services for my own benefit at the moment, so I also don't need bank accounts etc. for the company)... Anto |

| Hi there, I have Polish citizenship... |
| Hi there, I have Polish citizenship and have been working on a contract with a British company in Saudi Arabia where I will be staying for over two years or even more. My family (wife and two kids) are residing in Poland, which means that I am classified by Polish tax law as a Polish tax resident even if I work offshore. The question is how can I rescue my money earned in the KSA from the draconic taxes in Poland. Some nationals like British are exempt from the home tax if they earned the money in KSA. Waiting for any creative solutions - and can pay for the professional and workable advice. |

| Help: Offshore Business Account with Good Wire Transfer Facility |
Hello friends,
I am in deep trouble here. SO I am from India and into performance marketing [online lead generation business] from last 5 yrs almost and last year I started one performance marketing company here in India. It has around 70 good active affiliates and all of them do good volume of business. It was going smooth and I was sending bank wires regularly to my affiliates from my indian business account until I got a freaking letter from income tax department that I need to pay 30% tds [tax deduction at source] for every outgoing foreign remittance [please note its not in profit but every outgoing remittance in foreign currency] and that brings full stop to my business. Right now I am sending those payments through a friend's business account but I know very soon he is also going to have that warning letter.In India outgoing foreign remittance are very sensitive issue for governments , I guess due to economy.
So, I need solution. I tried US LLC but they need that I go there in person and open the business account and I need someone with 'money transaction' authority in the USA from my bank account since am from India. And I don't have any one so much reliable in the US.
So, only option left is offshore business account in Panama [?] or British virgin Island or can anyone suggest me? What I need is lots of incoming and outgoing wire transfers facility every month. Like 40 incoming wire transfers from USA and UK [from advertisers] and 240 outgoing international wire transfers every month [to affiliates] so that I can concentrate on my business instead of taking tension about these silly issues. Do you know panama/British virign Island/whatever good offshore location banks allow to do it online without rising issues?
Thank you in advance. Jit Uppal |

| Offshore Company Formation and Bank Account |
Hi,
I wish to setup an Offshore company and get a basic Business Banking account with Internet+Phone+VISA card facility.
I mainly do online business and most of them don't need VAT. So VAT is not my requirement.
All I need is the least expensive Offshore company formation and least expensive Bank account.
I've been doing research for sometime and narrowed down on few choices:
IBC: Belize, Marshall Islands, Isle of Man
Bank: Isle of Man, Latvia
For banking again I need a basic bank account with very less initial deposit and fee.
Could anyone suggest me any affordable solution?
I see that company formation services are so expensive. It takes 40 odd quid to register UK company.
Any help will be appreciated.
Most of my businesses are online and I end up paying huge UK Corporation tax which can be easily saved by setting IBC and Offshore bank account. Jack |

| investment portfolio in Australia while residing in Italy |
| I am an Australian living in Italy with Italian residency. I have been here for 5 years and am classed in Australia as a "non-resident" of Australia since I have been out of the country for more than 180 days. If I begin an investment portfolio in Australia,what are the implications of the earnings in ITALY? Will I be taxed on these earnings in Australia and Italy? Please let me know if you are a tax expert or someone who has just done the same thing. I want to know how to verify the information and who I can talk to here in Italy but be able to speak in English. Thanks! Bu |

| Offshore Companies - South Africa. |
Hi,
This may sound like a rather broad question but would anyone be able to tell me how common the use of offshore Companies are in South Africa (in particular)British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands Companies)? i.e. I want to know if there is any prohibitive tax legislation which may render their use rather limited.

| Offshore corporate home with minimal reporting |
I'm a Canadian citizen & resident operating a small online business that has staff around the world (Canada, USA, Europe, Australia, Asia) and clients around the world as well. Most of our revenue is from the USA. Our shareholders are also spread out around the world (although I am the majority owner).
We're currently registered in Canada, however dealing with the Canadian tax authorities is becoming a hassle. I actually don't mind the taxes that much, but the reporting requirements and audits (we've been audited twice now, both time they found that we owed no money, but each audit cost us money and wasted lot of time) are a huge annoyance.
I'd be interested in relocating the company to a country that has low taxes for offshore business (revenue earned outside the country) and, most importantly, minimal reporting requirements (ie: paperwork).
I intend to pay my personal income taxes legally and appropriately in my country of residence (which may be changing shortly).
Any suggestions. |

| Residency in Panama |
Hi,
Im a retired UK citizen living in Spain. I recieve a uk company pension paid untaxed in the UK.
If I were to take residency in Panama I believe that I would have no tax liability there on foreign income i.e. my pension.
Question is, when I informed HMRC in the UK that I was resident in Panama would I be liable for UK tax on my pension. |

| Is offshore a solution? |
I live in Romania and I am earning money from affiliate marketing. I am earning between $3000-$5000/month but this may go up to $10.000/mo in the future.
I am not selling anything, I don't have to give invoices, I just have a website where I promote other international companies and get money from them.
I am currently paying 16% taxes.
Should I open an offshore company? How much would that cost per year? What is the best solution?
I don't plan to move from Romania. Sebi |

| Taxes while non-resident |
Hey everyone,
I am an internet entrepreneur who works from home, and for the next couple of years I will not be a resident of any country, I'll be moving every 4-6 months. I work from my one man Canadian corporation but won't be living there in the foreseeable future. Right now I am a resident of the Netherlands, but I am a Canadian / UK citizen so once I leave I don't expect any follow up from the Dutch authorities tax wise.
It doesn't make sense to me to pay taxes to a country I don't spend time in, and technically I can't legally work in the places I'll be staying. So I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for how I should manage my personal and corporate taxes. I've looked at registering a company in Singapore, but I don't want to end up in trouble and also want to be as efficient as possible. It's also worth bearing in mind that I have clients in Europe, the US and Canada who might be nervous about paying a bermuda based bank account.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'd be happy to pay a qualified person for their advice.
Thanks very very much! Rich |

| Danish video production company going offshore |
A Danish video production company (adult entertainment) is looking to move/outsource certain business functions to a low cost/low tax location.
Any suggestions from people with experience in outsourcing of activities, effective balance sheet management techniques, and redeployment of cash flows will be appreciated.
Please, keep in mind that this is more than just about taxes, and that given the nature of the business, a number of locations/banks may not be considered as an option even as an exercise in eccentricity.
Regards
Albert |
