“Offshore” Is the keeping or investing of money for any reason in a
jurisdiction outside one's country of residence"

There are always mixed reactions when mentioning the words “Offshore” or “Offshore Investment”. The most popular misconception is that, those that hold investments offshore must be doing something immoral, unethical or even illegal.

You must be hiding money from the authorities or your soon to be ex-wife or even deliberately embarking on illegal tax evasion activities?

This is nonsense…

The vast majority of the offshore community is represented by hard working honest and successful businessmen and women, many of which are either politicians, judges, lawyers, accountants and a vast array of high-end professionals, either holding offshore investments, trusts or offshore companies.

This is perfectly legal, and taking one investment option apposed to another in order to avoid paying tax, is merely tax avoidance and should not be confused with tax evasion !

Having your funds work for you in locations that do not require tax at source will enhance your asset growth considerably; combine this with the rollover effect when putting that tax free profits to further income producing activity and the difference between earning a healthy living and earning an absolute fortune become immediately obvious.

The I.B.A. is not here to advise individuals on their personal tax liabilities or obligations, nor are we International accountants, we are simply dispelling the stigma that the “Powers that be” want you to believe regards offshore investment, whilst many of them use the very same offshore structures to increase their own wealth.

	Offshore investment is quite often more lucrative than onshore due to offshore companies not carrying the burden of onshore taxation, and the considerable expense of administering those responsibilities.
	The fastest growing financial platforms over the past decade have been Hedge Funds.  Of the most successful Hedge Funds in existence, the majority are domiciled offshore, free from government restraint, free from having to disclose confidential client data, and free from deducting tax at source from clients. With vast reductions in operating costs, as well as obtaining tax free profits, it comes as no surprise that an offshore company is able to offer higher returns on capital, all of which are tax free to the individual (when structured correctly).
