Offshore Jurisdictions

Choosing from the various offshore jurisdictions is a very important business decision. There are many reasons why you may select one location over another, including:

• Personal choice.

• Facilities available.

• Relevant legislation.

• Accessibility.

Keylink Consultancy is here to help you opt for the right offshore jurisdiction. It is essential that you choose a well regulated Offshore Financial Centre, as they will offer the full range of corporate services, such as:

•   Banking.
•   Insurance.
•   Legal advice.

Each of the offshore jurisdictions may offer different business incentives, but we will help you choose the location that offers the most significant financial reward for your company.

Choosing the best jurisdiction for you

One of the best known offshore jurisdictions is Gibraltar.

Gibraltar offers zero taxes, as well as the benefit of a strategic location for British corporations. Many businesses have already taken advantage of the services offered in Gibraltar, which are similar to those in the Channel Islands. However, Gibraltar has the benefit of lower costs and full EU compliance with all legislation.

Keylink Consultancy can help you set up a company based in Gibraltar, with full EU passporting rights.

This company can then be integrated into your current corporate structure to minimise tax payments. We have helped clients across the world legally save on tax, simply through careful tax planning.

In the United Kingdom, you can use tax treaties, royalty payments and trading agreements to significantly reduce your corporate tax bill. While the UK is not viewed as an offshore jurisdiction, careful planning can allow an English company to trade a near zero tax liability.

The British Virgin Islands - situated in the Caribbean - does not levy any capital gains, wealth, death duties or capital transfer taxes. This, coupled with the fact that the legal system is based on English Law, makes it a popular location for people choosing between offshore jurisdictions.

While the USA is well known as one of the world's largest economies, few would think of it as an offshore centre.

However, Delaware offers zero taxes for non-resident owners of Limited Liabilities Companies. Under certain conditions, you will also be able to trade with corporations based in the USA tax free.

Basing a business in one of these offshore jurisdictions is a highly effective way to save on tax. Keylink Consultancy is here to help you choose the location that is right for you and your business.
