Secrecy?
confidentiality

It may surprise you to learn that the NUMBER ONE reason for people moving money offshore is NOT because of tax benefits but asset protection. Today's predaceous and litigious society unfortunately makes successful people vulnerable to lawsuits of every kind.

Why Barbados?

Barbados has become well known in international business circles as a low tax treaty-based jurisdiction with a well-regulated and sophisticated environment. For many years, Barbados has enjoyed the reputation as an effective international business center in which to conduct business, and meets the following criteria:
  • Long history of political and economic stability
  • High quality physical infrastructure and support services, including excellent telecommunications and major international banks
  • High statutory level of confidentiality
  • Cost competitive and business friendly environment as a result of the high standard of local education, a productive workforce and a close working relationship between the social partners
  • Impressive network of tax treaties and investment agreements with progressive countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Latin America
  • Forward thinking legislation and effective regulation to encourage legitimate offshore business
  • Business capital of the Caribbean, with direct air travel links to North America and Europe
  • Abundant supply of qualified, technical and managerial human resource talent.

Barbados; The Paradise

Imagine!

An Island of Unspoiled charm and Sophistication. A People - A Culture - History, Art and Architecture: Alive
with possibilities, as boundless as the turquoise sea, endless as the sandy shore. Wake up to the rhythm of the tropics and paradise to explore.

Business in Barbados is booming now more than ever. With the settlement of offshore companies as well as the expansion of local enterprises there has been great competition in all aspects of business whether it be within retail, manufacturing or otherwise.

There are currently over 59,800 IBC operating in Barbados, attracted here because of legislation that provides tax incentives and benefits, and because of the excellent financial services and infrastructure of the island. Barbados opened its doors to IBC as early as 1965, when it first enacted enabling legislation providing tax incentives to offshore companies. The legislation was replaced with the International Business Act, in 1991.

Mailing, Fax, Telephone And Office Facilities: As part of the domiciliary service fee we provide clients with a registered office address in the country of incorporation but clients may find it convenient to arrange for mail forwarding, fax and telephone facilities through our Switzerland, Cayman Islands, London or other British Capital Group's world-wide offices. This service may be especially useful where, for example, the company is opening bank accounts. Normally the bank would address statements and other correspondence to the company at the address of the client but this results in a loss of confidentiality in that the connection between the company name and the client will be automatically made.

To safeguard against this mail can be directed to our offices and we can re-mail those letters in a plain envelope addressed to the client or otherwise as the client directs. An additional advantage of using our re-mailing services is that the provision of a re-mailing address through one of our prestigiously located offices in the onshore jurisdictions may allow the offshore company to appear to be domiciled on-shore and thereby give that company an added degree if respectability.

For example, your offshore company could quote British Capital Group London office address on its letterhead and thereby appear to be domiciled in the UK. This procedure is particularly attractive if the Hong Kong address is used as a Hong Kong company is not required to quote its registered office address on its letterhead. Thus if an offshore company were to quote a Hong Kong address it would be indistinguishable from the letterhead, from a normal Hong Kong trading company.The charge for this service is only $275 per annum.

Trust Services: Using a trust to own the shares of an offshore company can result in very substantial tax and non-tax related advantages which will accrue both on death and during the lifetime of the trust settler. These advantages may include:

Saving Of Inheritance Tax: On death, the Inheritance tax which would normally be assessed on the value of shares would generally be eradicated.

Asset Protection: Assets placed into trust are generally beyond the reach of creditors who might arise as a result of financial difficulties, divorce proceedings, litigation, etc.

Avoidance Of Probate: A trust provides a means whereby assets can be smoothly passed on to the next generation without the disruption, delays substantial costs, loss of confidentiality associated with the probate procedure which necessarily follows when assets are bequeathed by will.

Continuity: Trusts provide a means whereby assets can continue to be administered in accordance with the wishes of the settlor after his death so the weak can be protected from others and the spend-thrift can be protected from himself.

Lifetime Tax Savings: During lifetime, substantial income and capital gains tax advantages may result from setting up the trust. Using the service of one of our licensed trust companies, we are pleased to act as trustee for a suitably drafted discretionary trust and the cost of this service would be from US$500 for setting up the trust deed and from US$500 per annum for the provision of trustee services.
