There are several common types of offshore tax structures, including:
- Offshore Companies: An offshore company is a legal entity that is established in a foreign jurisdiction, typically a tax haven or low-tax jurisdiction, for the purpose of reducing tax liability and/or protecting assets. Offshore companies can be used for a variety of purposes, such as holding investments, conducting international business, or managing intellectual property.
- Offshore Trusts: An offshore trust is a legal arrangement in which assets are transferred to a trust, which is governed by a trustee and operates in a foreign jurisdiction. Offshore trusts can be used for estate planning purposes, asset protection, or tax planning.
- Offshore Foundations: An offshore foundation is a legal entity established in a foreign jurisdiction for the purpose of holding and managing assets. Offshore foundations are similar to trusts, but offer greater flexibility and control over the assets.
- Offshore Investment Funds: An offshore investment fund is a type of investment vehicle that is established in a foreign jurisdiction and invests in a variety of assets, such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and commodities. Offshore investment funds can offer tax efficiency, as well as access to a wider range of investment opportunities.
- Offshore Banks: An offshore bank is a financial institution that is established in a foreign jurisdiction and offers a variety of financial services, such as savings and checking accounts, investment accounts, and loan services. Offshore banks can offer greater financial privacy and confidentiality than banks in the investor's home country.
