Before we can discuss what you need to know before you open offshore bank accounts, we must first define all the terms: if you don’t know precisely what you’re doing, the offshore world can be a dangerous place.
Ask yourself this question. Do you really want to make a serious mistake? If not read the rest of this article.
– The trust deed is the private legal agreement between the settlor and the trustee. This deed can be drawn up in many different ways to reflect the requirements and concerns of the settlor and generally consists of the following: definition of who the trustee is and who can order their replacement or retirement; definition of the trustee’s powers and their restrictions; definition of the assets and how they are to be managed; and definition of who is to benefit and who they are at present.Now that we’ve defined all the terms involved, let’s look at the seven things you absolutely must consider before opening offshore bank account in any jurisdiction.
1) What is the main language used in the particular jurisdiction, and what is the time difference between you?
Can you communicate with this jurisdiction easily in your native tongue? Do you need to get up in the middle of the night to communicate with the particular jurisdiction? In this regard, if you’re comfortable using email to communicate, then the time difference is irrelevant and you can use the jurisdiction of your choice.
2) What is the political and financial stability of the particular jurisdiction?
Are you going to lose any assets placed in this jurisdiction due to a civil war or political unrest? How long have they maintained peace and stability?
3) What is the geographical location of the particular jurisdiction?
How hard is it for you to access if you ever need to go there?
4) What are the laws and regulations regarding privacy?
Is your valuable information going to be kept in confidence and what penalties exist for any breach of privacy?
5) What is the reputation of the trustee or incorporation company?
How long have they been around?
6) What are the fees associated with the particular offshore bank accounts?
Are all of your profits going to be eaten up in fees?
7) Does the jurisdiction have any tax treaties with your country of domicile?
Do they share information freely between your country of residence?
These seven questions will allow you to make the best possible choice when opening offshore bank accounts in any jurisdiction: you’ll be knowledgeable, informed, and you’ll have yourself and your hard work to thank if your investment is successful.
