Offshore For Corporates:
Treasury Management; Offshore HQs; Case Studies


Each Lowtax Intelligence Report opens with a series of recent relevant news highlights.

Descriptive Notes And Contents List

The first part of the report is a review of 12 world-wide locations for headquarters offices - we look at their comparative merits under a series of headings: tax, cost, accessibility, and operational effectivess. The best HQ would be one that allowed a highly-effective use of offshore and onshore tax structures, while still delivering cost-effective services.

The Corporate Treasury section of the report analyses how to get an optimal blend of tax-efficiency and profits from central corporate functions through judicious use of offshore and onshore techniques. We show how the sometimes dull corporate treasury can be turned into a source of extra, low-tax revenue.

The final two sections of the report study feature how two types of international business can use onshore low-tax regimes in parallel with offshore jurisdictions to make up highly tax-efficient corporate structures.

Conclusions



Case Studies

Alpha-Pharma (not its real name) was formed by the merger of two large pharmaceutical multinationals and we don't think it is very tax-efficient. Maybe that's because they haven't had time to sort things out after the merger - but we offer some other possible explanations.

Tronomark (not its real name) was started by Sir Michael Thornton in a garage in 1967 - now it has a turnover of £300m, and it hardly pays any tax. How is it done? It's just the difference between a public company which dare not put a hair out of line, and a private company, which can perfectly legally play the options to maximise after-tax earnings.
