Who can legally open and hold an offshore account?
Generally speaking anyone is free to open an offshore bank
account. In fact, offshore banking has been widely used for
many years by both individuals and organisations worldwide.
Where should an offshore account be established?
It is important that the proper jurisdiction be selected
when deciding which jurisdiction to use as an offshore
banking jurisdiction. The majority of the offshore
jurisdictions have prudent, sound regulations in place
geared towards safeguarding the deposits and maintaining
their confidentiality. However, some weigh their benefits in
taxation, while others in confidentiality, and so forth.
Though they all offer a comparatively confidential and
secure environment, it bears consideration to outline what
the banking goals are and then choose the jurisdiction
accordingly.
Who can benefit by putting their money offshore?
You could benefit if you're planning to move or retire
abroad, or are already living in another country. You may
also benefit if you have homes or commitments in more than
one country. If you live in a country which is politically
or economically unstable, you may choose to place your money
offshore in order to protect your assets more effectively.
Is it convenient to use offshore banks?
Yes. With the Internet, e-mail, fax and telephone banking
and the use of ATMs, your money is just as accessible as it
is from your local bank account. You can easily and quickly
transfer your money around the world by electronic transfer
and can effectively bank wherever you are.
What are some of the general advantages of banking
offshore?
There is no definitive answer to this question as every
individual’s circumstances are unique, and there are so many
different types of account available in so many different
locations in the world, and each offers the individual
customer different features and benefits! But for an
expatriate living and working overseas, for example,
offshore banking could have tax benefits, as interest earned
on offshore account could be paid without tax being
deducted. And if you were to transfer your current savings
and investments offshore, you may also be in a position to
further reduce your tax liability in your home country.
Other general benefits not limited to expatriate account
holders may include asset protection, estate planning,
privacy and confidentiality, better interest returns, lower
taxation burden, the chance to exploit active business
interests overseas in low to no taxation jurisdictions, and
global access to assets and income.
Do I have to pay income tax on income I've earned
offshore?
Some countries, like USA, require residents to declare their
income on a worldwide basis, so tax is payable on all your
income. In certain circumstances the income of an entity
which you control may also be taxable. For this reason, most
countries have no restrictions on where your business
interests, investments or bank accounts may be located. It's
your responsibility to report or not report your income to
your appropriate tax authority. If you are not resident in a
country that has reporting requirements you may not have to
declare any income you earn.
