International Tax Planning focuses on legally reducing tax burdens through strategic corporate structuring, tax relocation planning, leveraging Double Taxation Agreements (DTA), and managing cross-border income. Our tax experts conduct in-depth analysis of income sources, withholding tax rules, and the implications of BEPS regulations and global minimum tax policies. The goal is to design transparent, compliant, and tax-efficient structures tailored to the client’s unique wealth profile. Effective international tax planning requires seamless coordination with legal advisors and auditors across multiple jurisdictions to minimize audit risks and potential penalties while ensuring long-term compliance and sustainable wealth preservation.
Offshore Company and Holding Structures are widely used for asset management, business risk separation, and international tax planning. A well-designed holding company structure allows greater flexibility in transferring assets, receiving dividends, and exercising corporate control over subsidiaries. Establishing an International Business Company (IBC) offers advantages such as enhanced privacy, low administrative costs, and favorable tax benefits. However, it is crucial to carefully consider local laws, Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements, and international reporting standards such as CRS (Common Reporting Standard) to ensure legal compliance and reduce reputational risks. By integrating offshore company formation with proper tax and legal planning, HNW and UHNWI clients can achieve efficient wealth structuring, global asset protection, and long-term financial sustainability.
A trust is a legal structure in which a settlor transfers assets to a trustee, who manages them for the benefit of designated beneficiaries according to the terms of the trust deed. Trusts are widely used for asset protection, estate planning, and simplifying cross-border inheritance transfers. In addition to trusts, other offshore wealth management vehicles such as foundations or limited partnerships can further enhance flexibility in structuring and managing assets. However, it is essential to design the trust deed and supporting structures in line with the laws of the relevant jurisdictions, while also addressing tax implications, reporting obligations, and international compliance standards. With proper planning, a trust combined with offshore structures offers HNW and UHNWI clients a powerful solution for long-term wealth preservation, cross-border legacy planning, and global asset management.
