Offshore Commercial & Taxation Planning

Through our extensive network of contacts and advisors we are able to provide a number of commercial and taxation planning schemes involving offshore trusts that can provide significant benefits to those clients with more substantial business and/or personal wealth.

We will start by undertaking a review of your current situation, on a no cost basis, and will then suggest any schemes that we believe are of benefit. Such schemes can help you to:

• Protect your personal and business assets from litigation
• Ensure that your wishes upon death are complied with
• Provide commercial benefits to your business
• Mitigate taxation liabilities

Normally we will recommend commercially based schemes rather than tax avoidance ones, although the mitigation of taxation liabilities is frequently a consequence of implementation. Generally the purpose of the trusts deployed parallels the commercial objectives of the sponsoring company. The combination of corporate law and trust technology means that your affairs can be arranged in such a way that commerciality is at the heart of each step and transaction in the process. When you have commerciality as the fundamental reason for implementing an arrangement then the risk of being accused of tax avoidance is removed.
