He's referring to your driver's license, and if the answer no, then the follow-up question is, "What is your new address?" followed by "How long have you lived at your new[..]

rdays Budget was a pretty low-key affair mainly due to the upcoming general election. To quote the BBC’s Political Editor Nick Robinson, when summarising the budget “Short on economic announcements, but long on party political statements.” The main notes of importance where contractors are concerned were that VAT, NIC on dividends from PSCs, IR35, Section 660, and Umbrella Company expenses remain unchanged. The headline of yesterday’s budget was undoubtedly the changes in Stamp Duty limits which can be classed as both good and bad news for contractors. The Stamp Duty limit for first-time buyers doubled to £250,000 for this year from midnight last night.[..]

At every level, the IRS has become increasingly aggressive in pursuing non-filers and tax cheats. In 2008, nearly 1.4 million Americans were audited and the IRS collected $56.4 billion - $7.7 billion more than in 2006. This was only slightly down from 2007's record year of $59.2 billion. The IRS is doing everything and anything it can in its considerable and unbridled power to investigate and curb tax evasion, from simple audits to examinations of complex, multinational tax shelter programs. Last year, the IRS stepped up its investigations of offshore accounts used to hide income and evade taxes. The agency has begun to examine these accounts - and the taxpayers who use them - using the[..]

Since the late 1970s the jurisdiction of the High Court to grant freezing injunctions has been significantly expanded and refined by case law, practice directions and legislation. The creation of this form of injunction was a judicial innovation, in the case of Mareva Compania Naviera SA v International Bulk Carriers SA (The Mareva). Lord Hoffman, in his foreword to Commercial Injunctions (4th Edition) by Steven Gee Q.C. described the case of Mareva as "...the most remarkable example of judicial creativity in the last century..." The freezing order was a Judge-made response in the case of Mareva to the modern means of disposing with assets, and attempts to defeat claims through[..]

Dubai is seen as a “no-tax” emirate, with lots of connections to the rich in India. Dubai has a network of treaties with other country in that taxation is only done in the “contracting” country, not both countries, which make it an even more advantageous place to do business. This can get a little bit complicated as some countries also have provisions to allow double taxation with their dealings with Dubai. Dubai is one of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and is a key location to do business with India and countries further east. As usual, the tricks of the trade include setting up shell companies to conceal the ownership of offshore trusts and companies.[..]

The Democrats' Texas MP Lloyd Doggett has reportedly introduced a new piece of anti-tax haven legislation into the US House of Representatives. The International Tax Competitiveness Act, contains many clauses which Doggett has previously included in similar pieces of legislation which didn't make it to the statute book due to Republican resistance. Doggett was one of the sponsors of the Stop Tax Haven Abuse Act. Although that law was not passed, much of it was incorporated in the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act of 2009, which became law as part of the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, changing the system of withholding on payments made to non-US persons.

The world of offshore savings accounts has always been shrouded in a little mystery as fiction writers and the press have glamorized the lives of heroes and heroines whose generally underhand activities have been funded through the use of offshore accounts. But this is no longer the case. Jersey and the Isle of Man now provide homes for all of the major UK banks and building societies, all of whom are presenting portfolios of products, among which are some real bargains. Gone are the days when putting your money offshore meant settling for a reduced interest in exchange for a little more 'flexibility' with your tax position. Now you will find that the banks and building societies are[..]

For many people the concept of 'offshore' is something clandestine, available only to the excessively wealthy or those seeking to evade taxation. In reality 'offshore' as a financial concept simply means placing money, wealth or assets in a country other than the one in which you live. Naturally enough those high net worth individuals who place money offshore usually do so to take advantage of the favourable taxation regimes available in so called tax havens - but even for the likes of you and me there are advantages to the offshore world that we can all benefit from. For example - offshore savings accounts are a type of simple savings vehicle that can allow any of us to either save a[..]

Put simply, an offshore IBC is an IBC that is incorporated in a country other than the one it does the highest percentage of its business in.

'Moving offshore' is a common tax planning strategy that you've probably seen mentioned in thrillers or seen in Hollywood films - but how applicable is it the average man in the street? Well you'll be pleased to know that the UK offers some of the best offshore tax rules in Europe and is much more attractive than the United States. Under the UK rules once you establish yourself as 'non UK resident' for tax purposes your tax ties to the UK are pretty much severed. Of course there are still occasions when the UK taxman will look for his share of the 'tax take' but as a general rule these are pretty few and far between. One of the best aspects of the UK tax system, unlike the many[..]

The universe of offshore tax planning and asset protection is large and complex. There are no "magic bullet" structures; instead there is a myriad of choices. The hallmark of a savvy practitioner is not only knowing of all the available options, but also knowing when to use which option for a particular client. Swiss annuities should be considered by all practitioners looking to confer significant tax and asset protection benefits on their clients. For tax purposes, variable Swiss annuities allow for a complete deferral of the value build-up within the policy (similar to domestic annuities that the reader is familiar with). If a trust (as discussed below) is named as the beneficiary of[..]

Offshore companies or International Business Companies (also known as IBCs) are 'distinct legal entities' - what this means is that they can be treated to all intents and purposes like an individual. This means they can do business and be taxed for example, in fact they can do pretty much everything apart from have feelings or be loved! But what's the point of an offshore company? Well, residents of high tax countries such as America of the United Kingdom for example can sometimes use an offshore company structure and route their income or profits through it to reduce their own personal taxation for example. The reason the company is established in an 'offshore' jurisdiction is because[..]

  Forming a limited company makes your business secure and legally protected. Trading through a limited company limits the liability upon the officers and shareholders of the company.

Officers of the company do not go bankrupt. In fact, they even have the right to set up[..]

Location is a big factor when you are considering of investing. It can create wealth maximization or could cause negative affect on the business. Therefore, it is wise to look for background of a country before investing so that, when you will invest, the probability of risk remains low. Is Panama a good place to invest? The answer is, the country is actually a very good place to invest. First of all, Panama is situated at a good geographical position. Natural disasters do not hit Panama at all. Earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters keep them away from the island country. Secondly, Panama is a place where things are affordable and exotic. Panama is like a magnet to the[..]

The world is spinning further and further out of control. And governments everywhere are trying to take more of your freedoms away. Every day, more and more people are looking for a way out.

"Richard, how in the world did you manage to get an acquittal on the fraud charges?" We were sitting in the lovely lounge of the Leslie II, his 35 million dollar yacht, anchored in front of his 17-room seaside, 30 million dollar mansion in St. Johns, and had just finished a breakfast that could only be described as an event on the same level of quality as the boat and the house. The former head of Health South, Richard Scrushy is of medium height, plain features and no outstanding physical attributes, except for his delicate fingers and the quickness with which he moves then to emphasize a point, show you a faraway object or massage them as if they were cold. They are the fingers of a[..]

In these trying economic times, with Housing Foreclosures at all-time highs, an unemployment rate of over 10%, and soaring health care costs, more and more Americans are becoming frustrated with their Federal Government, resulting in increased numbers of taxpayers turning to financial and tax advisers whose advice and methodology are of questionable legitimacy. As a result, the IRS has recently published it's list of the twelve most commonly attempted income tax related schemes - what the Treasury Department is calling the "Dirty Dozen." According to IRS commissioner Doug Shulman, "Taxpayers should be wary of scams to avoid paying taxes that seem too good to be true...There is no secret[..]

Why move your business Offshore: For a small or medium-sized company based in a high-tax area and without an extensive network of senior (and expensive) advisers, it is not easy to know how to approach the idea of offshore e-commerce. Just the idea of e-commerce itself is sufficiently challenging at first, if a company has previously relied on traditional business methods, and it could seem too extreme to take on board the complexities of a move offshore at the same time. Ignoring the possibility of offshore e-commerce could, however, be very short-sighted... Can the owners make use of tax benefits? The first, crucial point to take on board is that there is no point in considering[..]

ists at have concurred with the idea of a pan-European authority whose main task would be to deal with failed banks in a concerted effort to reduce strains on the region’s post-crisis banking system. The proposal is rapidly gaining traction among economists and finance ministers throughout the European Union. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), said that existing mechanisms for coping with the potential fallout from failed cross-border banks had clearly proved wholly inadequate. Offshoreresource.com, which enables individuals and businesses to take advantage of the attractive tax benefits available to investors in offshore jurisdictions, said[..]
