Holding Company
Clients often use offshore Holding Companies to own and fund subsidiaries in various countries, implement joint venture projects, hold publically quoted companies, and so on.
It is possible, in certain circumstances, for capital gains arising from the disposal of investments, to be made free of tax. Subsidiaries may also benefit from tax deductions and interest paid on the funding provided by the Holding Company.
Clients could hold interests in Hong Kong, Singapore and Latin America, as well as in North America and Europe. It could be advantageous to combine the offshore Holding Company with a Trust owning the Holding Company, for asset protection reasons.
