Offshore
Banking Jurisdictions: The Regulation And The
Reality
Each
Lowtax Intelligence Report opens with a series of
recent relevant news highlights.
Descriptive Notes And Contents List
Confidential, private banking was one of the
key offshore products from the beginning,
and such major banking centres as the Cayman
Islands, Switzerland, Hong Kong and the Bahamas
warehouse staggering quantities of money for
individuals and organisations who prefer to
keep it out of the immediate oversight of
their home governments. Very importantly,
of course, money held offshore cannot readily
be taxed by rapacious high-tax economies.
There
is great variety among the main offshore banking
jurisdictions, both in regulatory terms and
in respect of the services offered. The aim
of this report is to analyse the situation
on the ground in each of the main offshore
banking centres, including their reponses
to the EU's Savings Tax Directive and the
attacks of the 'multilaterals' during the
early years of the new millennium.
