ARTHUR 

Offshore 

 

We set up and manage offshore companies to meet the specific personal or business objectives of our clients. Broadly these objectives include wealth protection and maxsimising tax benefts, international business and market entry. Our focus is to understand, assess, design and implement a solution that best fits our clients' specific needs and goals while maximizing the available benefits. 

 

Offshore business is about using the possibilities offered by countries (commonly known as jurisdictions), whose legislation allows for certain advantages (tax, confidentiality, company structure, etc.) to be used by non-residents. 

It is normally a legal requirement that the registered company must not conduct any business or own any assets in the jurisdiction of incorporation in order to enjoy certain tax freedoms. 

This in turn allows companies to be set up in that jurisdiction, sometimes resident, sometimes not (depending on the legislation), to trade on an international basis taking advantage of the easier flow of money on the international markets. Nevertheless, most countries today still partake in the idea that the flow of money in or out of the country has to be restricted, regulated, or at least monitored, and of course, taxed.
