International Trading
The use of an offshore structure between sellers and buyers of products or services in different countries can
provide an extremely tax efficient solution to clients of international trading or import/export companies.
Depending on the jurisdictions of trade, a VAT tailored trading solution can easily be created as can the use of
jurisdictions that offer a network of double-taxation treaties such as Cyprus, Hong Kong and the United Kingdom.
International Contractor and Expatriate Solutions
Amber can provide a tax efficient solution for international contractors with such diverse backgrounds as the
entertainment & film industry, shipping, engineering, oil & gas, telecommunications & IT. By contracting through an
offshore structure such contractors can significantly reduce or, in some circumstances, eliminate taxation. Both
international contractors and expatriates can utilise offshore structures to accumulate funds held offshore and
control taxable remittances back to their normal country of residence.
Land and Property Acquisation
Land or property can be acquired and held within an offshore structure to help minimise the tax burden that can be
faced by individuals who buy and sell property in their own name. Using offshore structures to hold land or property
can assist with managing capital gains tax, inheritance tax, stamp duty, rental income and property transfer tax.
Amber can facilitate property transactions using professional surveyors, lawyers and property agents. We can also assist
in obtaining property finance, subject to the usual due diligence required by lenders. Although the United Kingdom remains
the favourite country for using offshore structures to hold property, Portugal, Spain and France are also common.
Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are also popular jurisdictions for property investment due to their buoyant rental
sectors.
Wealth, Estate and Succession Planning
The use of offshore Trusts, Private Foundations and Companies can greatly increase flexibility and mitigate income,
capital and inheritance taxes in terms of wealth, estate and succession planning. In civil law jurisdictions (such as
France, Germany, Spain, Italy and most of the rest of continental Europe, and most of Latin America) where forced heirship
is adopted in domestic legislation the use of an offshore common law jurisdiction, such as the Isle of Man, with modern
trust legislation that protects assets against forced heir claims, clients can benefit from increased flexibility to decide
how their wealth and estate should be managed on succession. This may be extremely attractive for those clients wishing
to preserve family wealth that may have been built up over generations.
