The financial marked has changed and you need to consider to increase your profit of your online sales for two reason, first due to the competition while more and more Online Shops and businesses will go and reduce their price structure you need to have competitive prices on your products and services too, secondly while many see a decrease of the products services sold you need to earn more on each item as before to survive.

By just lowering your prices you would in many cases easily drive more sales into your pocket but you will soon face that this also means you need to sell more to get the same out of it.

A simple calculation which we did for a new client was to consider to take the entire business Offshore for Instant in Cyprus, the payable TAX for international business companies is 0% TAX which means if you lower your pricing per item with let’s say 15% (which would be the TAX you had to pay if you continue as you do now) than you won’t lose any money by reducing the price on your products or services but will at the same time get very competitive towards the competition.

It is important to consider any possible aspect to increase the costs doing business and at the same time be able to reduce the price to serve the consumers which at the moment (due to the financial crisis) only hardly want to spend any money.

A marked survey which has been made in Europe show that we are all more willing to spend money even in this financial crisis, if we can get the product or services we need to a reduced price.

It can be very overwhelming to get a picture of the TAX and Legal issues there might be when you register a Cyprus Company.

Some of the questions we often receive from clients interested in registering a Cyprus Company with us are the following:

Do my Cypriot Company has to pay TAX ?
Will the beneficial owners be subject to Double Tax treaties?
Which country will the dispute resolution are handled?

A few good questions which we will try to outline here and which we think is of high interest for many that consider to register a company in Cyprus and in any other offshore jurisdiction.

To the first question, then it is depending very much on how you go and register your Cyprus company, will you be using nominee shareholders and directors or will you use foreigners, or is it the beneficial owner which often is a foreigner that is going to be both the shareholder and director in this company.

By using local nominee shareholders and directors you Cyprus Company will be subject to 10% TAX of net profits! This can be of benefit if you are going and do local business for instant in Cyprus where you need the director of your company to be able to make business decisions on your behalf.

If you make use of foreign nominee shareholders and directors the Cyprus Company will not be subject to any TAX ( 0% TAX) this requires of course that all income of the Cyprus Company is coming from outside of Cyprus. This also applies if you as the beneficial owner and as foreigner is chosen as shareholder and director. The benefit of becoming a foreign nominee shareholder and director is that you can register the company anonymously and your name will not appear in the Cyprus public register of companies.

To the second question, it depends on if you country has a double taxation agreement with Cyprus, if so the beneficial owner is subject of tax in your home country. This is one of the reasons why many people choice to become the company anonymously.

The third question, this depends only on your company’s policy and which country you set forth to handle disputes in your legal documents and has nothing to do with the type of company you are going to register or which country it is. For instant even when your Company is registered in Cyprus you can choice to incorporate a term in your Terms and Conditions or business policies that a dispute is handle by the courts of the UK or US and that’s what apply then.

We advice all our clients to get in touch with their Lawyers/attorney and Advisors for an in depth explanation of above since this is the right place to ask such questions; it might be that other regulations applies which could benefit you.

If you are considering to take your company offshore we will be more than happy to help you, please contact CCLOGIC LLC today and let’s get things started.

Much have been said about Offshore Company Formation and especially company formation in Cyprus, we have been through the topics of assets protection, how to establish an Offshore Company for instant in Cyprus and Offshore companies in other countries.

While we try to give you in depth going information about the phenomena “offshore company” to prepare you for starting your own offshore company in all areas of the world and of course also for establishment of Cyprus Companies, then we decided to highlight a few things which we think are of interest for you and has some grade of importance.

It is a fact that you are able to hide and shielding assets from creditors and other claimants and that it is an efficient way to use an offshore corporation for this purpose, many will define this step as illegal and unethical, however this isn’t your problem, since to operate a offshore company is not illegal as long as you comply with the local regulations in the jurisdiction the company formation take place.

Some say “ Corporate vehicles can also be misused to hide and shield assets from creditors and other claimants, such as spouses, heirs, and tax authorities” Again true. And they continue

“ The obscurity provided by certain types of corporate vehicles can be exploited to conceal the existence or ownership of assets in order to keep them out of the reach of creditors and other claimants. In some bankruptcy cases involving individuals, for example, funds have been siphoned out of one jurisdiction through shelf companies and trusts incorporated in other jurisdictions where it was extremely difficult to trace beneficial ownership”

So you are good Sherlock and I think in many cases it is not ethical right to hide and protect your assets from other peoples, creditors or any claimants, however, there are circumstances in which I believe it is a great to use your offshore vehicle as for this purpose. I have seen some cases where a 100% legit company was driven by an entrepreneur and which only hardly got the thing to take off, so he decided to take in partners which was people from the big business, what they did, they cheated the a.. out of my

The ability to obscure identity is crucial for perpetrators desiring to commit illicit activity through the use of corporate vehicles. While Cyprus offshore companies and offshore companies in general provide some degree of “natural” anonymity to its beneficial owner, anonymity can be enhanced through the use of a variety of mechanisms, such as nominee shareholders and nominee directors. These mechanisms can be used to conceal the identity of the beneficial owners from the authorities.

With your Cyprus Company you are unable to conceal the identity of the beneficial owners from the authorities since they require the beneficial owner to be registered with their archives.

To avoid the registration of the beneficial owner, you can have another company for example in the seashells to be the owner of your Cyprus company, Seychelles offer 100% anonymity but limit your trading possibilities.

Because of the strong anonymity a offshore company can provide if it is setup correctly it is often also misused for money laundering and other activities which violates the tax regulations in most countries.

It is known by all that an offshore company can be used to protect your assets and also be used as a vehicle to avoid TAX.

However in many cases a offshore company for instant in Cyprus is formed due to several benefits which a local company can’t give you, one of them is the right to make a loan in your own company. To “borrow” money in an LLC or LTD is prohibited in many European countries since it is in violation with the TAX authorities. But it is of great benefit for a new started entrepreneur if he can get the protection of a regular LTD and still is able to use the money for financing the company’s activities including his own salary.

How is it possible to get more money out of an IBC / Offshore Company for instant in Cyprus ? Very easy normal you need to have about EURO 17.000 to form a LTD in a European country, there are exceptions but for 80% of the countries in Europe it is the case, now when you have established the company with 100% of shares of an value of EUR 17.000 then you are not allowed to take some money out from the company to yourself. A Limited Liable Company need to have the status to be liquid and to assure your trading partners that you at least have the EUR 17.000 in assets or cash in the company and if the owner of that company by law was able to just take out the money exactly before the company for any reason declares bankruptcy then it would favor himself.

With a Cyprus Offshore Company or any other offshore company you are allowed as an resident of an European country to make loans in the company, let’s say you are starting to make money in the company, then you can money out of the company in two ways, one is as regular salary which will course you to up to 50% of the salary to the TAX authorities that can often be a problem, because you need to take more money out then if you don’t had to pay tax! So what to do? The second option is to take out the money as a loan, this loan can be made over a period of 10, 20, 30 or even 50 years if you like, and once the money is on your account you just need to report it to your local TAX authorities as a loan.

In the offshore company formation world and in all type of company formation regardless if it is a local company or a company formation in another country you will sooner or later ran into the possibility to have a trust to manage your company.

A trust can be a good instrument for forming offshore companies if you wont move to the country where you register your offshore company or if you don’t want to travel at least 2 or 3 times a year to manage the offshore company.

So what is a trust?
A trust is an important, useful and legitimate vehicle for the transfer and management of assets. Trusts provide an effective mechanism for managing assets given minors, individuals who are incapacitated, and others who are otherwise inexperienced in financial management.

Trusts can also be used to promote charitable purposes and for estate planning. In addition to personal and financial planning, trusts are increasingly used to structure corporate transactions, such as securitization programs, and employee benefits programs, such as pension schemes, international employee stock option plans, and compensation structures.

To create a valid trust, the settler is required to give up control of the assets he has transferred to the trustee. In turn, the trustee is obligated to observe the terms of the trust deed and has fiduciary duty to act honestly and in good faith in the best interest of the beneficiaries or, in the event there are no named beneficiaries, in the best interest of the trust. Traditionally, trusts are subject to limitations on duration, the terms of the trust are fixed, and trustees cannot be removed without a legal challenge. Lastly, the traditional trust could only benefit individuals or charities and could not be used to delay, hinder, or defraud creditors.

As with other types of corporate vehicles, however, trusts can also be misused for illicit purposes. Part of the attractiveness of misusing trusts lies in the fact that trusts enjoy a greater degree of privacy and autonomy than other corporate vehicles. Given the private nature of trusts and the fact that a trust is essentially a contractual agreement between two private persons, virtually all jurisdictions recognizing trusts have purposely chosen not to regulate trusts like other corporate vehicles, such as corporations.
Above are just a few example of usage and misusage of trusts and what they are and how you can use it. For offshore companies in general in is common to use trusts to manage the company.

If you are looking for Offshore Company formation with a trust, then please contact cclogic.com we have specialized in company formation, Cyprus bank accounts and offshore merchant services.

“Many offshore banks have very strict rules on who they accept as their customers and contrary to popular belief they don’t accept just anyone as long as they have money! They have their reputation to maintain as a reliable and trustworthy financial institution and it would not be acceptable to them to allow criminals to use their services. Opening an offshore company can give you privacy or anonymity, the confidentiality laws of these jurisdictions are usually very strong and are a legal method of minimizing the tax amount you have to pay each year. “

This is what we wrote in one of our articles for not long time ago, and it is true, almost any bank in an offshore jurisdiction has that strict rules and regulations that they simply are unable to enter into the Merchant Acquiring business. Offshore banks will not be able to obtain a license to clear Visa or Mastercard credit cards often because they wouldn’t be able to withdraw the money from the card holders due to for instant European banks would decline such requests.

However the problem can be solved very simple. You can become a Merchant Account with some banks in Europe and in countries which aren’t black listed in other banks around the world, once you have this merchant account you can ask the agent or the bank with which you have the merchant account to transfer your funds to an offshore bank account for instant in Cyprus.

Don’t make the mistake and open a Merchant Account in your local bank and ask them to transfer the money to your offshore bank account which might be in any of the different offshore jurisdictions, because they won’t do that.

By using the above model, you will need to face that your payment processing rates and fees might be much higher then what you can get them to in your local bank, but this should make it up with the TAX benefits you get through your Offshore Company. Don’t be fooled by low budget payment processors and payment service providers which promise you a offshore merchant account with a processing rate for instant of 4% or even lower, that’s simply not possible.

Also all the so called “free” service that tell you they will process your Visa and Mastercard credit cards for 3% flat rate, no monthly and no setup fees, they will process the cards but don’t transfer the money to your offshore bank account, and even if they would like to do that, then their financial institution will decline that request.
