What are the advantages of registering an offshore company?
Certain countries and regions have formulated exceptionally lenient policies to attract investors worldwide to establish offshore companies within their jurisdictions (such as British Virgin Islands (BVI) offshore companies, Seychelles offshore companies, Cayman Islands offshore companies, Samoa offshore companies, Labuan offshore companies, and Delaware offshore companies in the United States). Such offshore companies are generally exempt from taxation, subject only to an annual licence fee, and may be listed on stock exchanges in other jurisdictions. They represent the preferred choice for most multinational corporations undertaking corporate structuring and reorganisation.
Compared to ordinary limited companies, the primary distinction in offshore company registration lies in taxation. Offshore companies are exempt from any taxation on offshore income and are not required to file tax returns. Furthermore, shareholders' particulars, shareholding proportions, and profit distributions within offshore companies are subject to a high degree of confidentiality.
