Should you take your investments, business and assets offshore?
The best reason to go offshore is that Offshore Financial Centers (OFCs) offer the right protection, taxation and timing for each individual asset, business or investment. The supporting premise is that no other country automatically upholds US judgments; therefore, you must remove the asset from the jurisdiction of the long arm of the domestic law. Offshore is not the only theory, it is the only bulletproof theory, but it has to be appropriate and legal.
You may want to ask yourself a few key questions.
Do you want maximum privacy?
Do you need maximim security?
Do you want to take advantage of every aspect of tax mitigation?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you should browse this section and then consult with an advisor.
A US judge, no matter what state the trust is created in, can pierce a US trust created by a US citizen. Once a trust is set up within a reputable foreign bank, the chances are slim that a foreign judge will simply comply with a US judgment. This means a creditor and their lawyer will have to retry the case in another country, often at their own painful expense. This possible expense deters many people from beginning the litigation process.
There are strict rules and laws to follow when setting up business entities offshore. Asset Protection Trusts are not tax shelters. Settling money offshore does not equate to the vanishing of assets on record. All US citizens must claim and pay taxes on all their worldwide income.
Strength and security seek their roots in the timing of transfer. Offshore Asset Protection strengthens over time after it is settled. It is best to settle money and assets offshore when there are no hints of creditor attacks. If a person waits until a lawsuit is filed, the transfer of assets may be considered a fraudulent conveyance, which is a criminal penalty punishable by fines and imprisonment.
Conducting business with offshore companies that have expert qualifications and references is the safest way to protect assets as long as all US and international laws are followed. To ensure the reliability of going offshore, consult a specialist who can set up an individualized plan.
There are also many other reasons to explore offshore business. Going offshore can be an effective way to diversify and protect a stock portfolio. There are unique business opportunities for entrepreneurs who are willing to take the time to research the markets and analyze the needs of an international customer base. Knowledge of exchange rates may create the advantage of lowering costs or increasing profits. With so many opportunities available in a world market, it makes sense to investigate and understand the options that exist.
Like any business opportunity, going offshore requires knowledge of the laws and careful planning. There are professionals who navigate these international pathways on a daily basis. There is no reason to go offshore blindly or to wade into shark-infested waters. Offshore fees are affordable in most instances and an entrepreneur should be aware of the certifications and qualifications of the expert they have chosen for consultation. Offshore opportunities can be a useful, intricate part of a successful financial strategy.
One attitude that cannot be tolerated in medicine is a lack of care or apathy. We feel physicians should exercise the same standard of care toward their accumulation of assets, property and wealth.
