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.
