While you cannot open an EU offshore company in the traditional sense of the word (such as 0% corporate tax legislation like Belize or Seychelles) there are available low tax countries that have an important tradition in providing specialized fiduciary services. Two examples would be Cyprus or Malta, both these countries offering attractive taxation systems, international banking as well as nominee services for those investors looking for an added layer of privacy. The Isle of Man is another example of a low-tax jurisdiction. Although not in the EU, it is closely located to the United Kingdom and offers a 10% corporate income tax rate for banks and a zero corporate tax rate for other businesses. The Isle of Man is treated as part of the EU for VAT purposes, customs and excise purposes – this is one reason why it this location is potentially advantageous for investors planning on opening a low-tax company close to major EU markets.
 

It is difficult to name the best offshores since each one provides interesting solutions for a specific business, however the most famous remain BVI, Seychelles or Panama. Besides these traditional ones there also low tax ones such as Singapore, Hong-Kong or Dubai.

When choosing the jurisdiction where they should base their offshore company, foreign investors should look at the specific tax laws and company incorporation laws. While it is true that most of these jurisdictions allow for very low or no taxes, this is not the sole criteria when choosing the location for offshore incorporation. The country’s political and economic stability, the requirements for annual filing and the level of confidentiality for the company’s beneficial owners are all points of interest for many investors.
 

• -tax benefits: the tax haven status is a primary reason for opening an offshore; this can also depend on how the offshore business income is treated in the investor’s country of origin.
• asset protection: the legal structures set up in these jurisdictions are often used for asset protection; in general, creditors cannot easily access the asset stored in this manner by investors.
• maintenance simplicity: company registration and management are facile in offshore jurisdictions; having a local agent as well as paying the annual fees are often the only mandatory requirements.
• privacy: as previously stated, investors are not required to disclose their identities and in all cases, a nominee director service can be used.
