Types of offshore jurisdictions

There is no universally accepted classification of offshore zones, but there are several key aspects, characteristics that allow us to divide the existing offshore zones of the world into categories. Among the main defining characteristics are the following:

  • tax planning;
  • financial reporting requirements;
  • level of confidentiality of personal information.

By contacting Crystal Tax to register a commercial organisation in any global offshore jurisdiction, you are guaranteed to get

  • minimum tax burden;
  • high level of confidentiality of personal data;
  • simplified accounting;
  • minimisation of the cost of setting up and running a business;
  • no taxation on dividends.

Our experts can help you determine which of the offshore countries is best suited to your business objectives.

Our offers

We offer the services of highly qualified specialists with successful, many years of experience in the field of international, tax and corporate law at affordable prices.

We register legal entities of various forms of incorporation in all global jurisdictions including:

  1. Classic offshore territories. Their attractiveness lies in the absence of taxes. Often companies are not subject to corporate taxes, as well as income, inheritance and personal income taxes. T
  2. erritories with low taxes. If we analyse the tax policies of countries around the world, we can conclude that the average corporate tax rate is 22.6%. In cases where a foreign territory provides for a reduced corporate tax rate of at least two times, it can be classified as a low-tax jurisdiction.
  3. Countries with a territorial tax system. Territoriality is the main attribute for setting the types and rates of taxes. Legal entities carrying out activities abroad and consequently earning profits there will not be taxed in the territory of the state in which they are registered.
  4. Onshore jurisdictions with offshore territories (respected offshore jurisdictions). States offer legal entities taxation regimes on special, preferential terms regulated by existing legislation.Перечень услуг

Our advantages

International business, end to end

Corporate structuring, company registration in Ukraine and abroad, tax and reporting, migration, bank accounts, DUNS and NCAGE codes. We run the whole project, from choosing the solution to the finished documents.

Confidentiality under contract

Confidentiality terms are set out in our contract. We do not pass information about a client or their project to third parties, except where the law expressly requires it.

Choosing a jurisdiction

We compare jurisdictions against your business task: tax regime, reporting, substance requirements and access to banking. On the call we go through the upsides and the limits of each option.

Timelines and data

We name the timeline for every step before the work starts — it depends on the jurisdiction, the registrar and the bank. Personal data is used only to deliver the service.

We deal with authorities and banks

We handle the correspondence with registrars, government bodies and banks and answer their requests ourselves. From you we need documents and signatures.

We see every case through

We take each case to the finish: if an authority or registrar comes back with remarks, we revise the documents at no extra charge. The fee is calculated for your task before work starts.
