This month, OneStart Weekly brought our readers to travel around the world. We have been to the California’s beach, the Great Wall, and remote Islands. All of them are world-renowned business hub for incorporating offshore companies. Do you remember what destinations we have set foot on?

The Tax Haven ( Cayman Island / BVI / Anguilla )

The first group of locations OneStart Business Centre can offer you company formation services at, are the islands that act as a tax haven for investors. If you wish to incorporate in the Anguilla, the British Virginia Islands (BVI), or the Cayman Islands, you could enjoy lower tax rate than in any other countries. When you form an offshore company in one of the tax havens, you will be able to enjoy a total absence or minimum levels of taxation. Generally talking, your offshore company is not subjected to income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax, wealth tax or similar fiscal laws. These could have been a great barrier in reducing the flexible capital in your hand during business. But then now, if you are choosing over company formation in one of the tax havens, your business in such destinations will grant you entrance to more flexible capital spending. The substantial tax is set at a level which will benefits international businesses, in order words, the offshore company you are going to incorporate.

There might still be worries over crooks and money-launders in such haven. But in fact, Anguilla, Cayman Islands and BVI like other tax havens, has put forward regulations for maintaining a clean reputation. Their financial system can detect and prevent financial criminals and money-launders, so you can be rest-assured and enjoy burden-free incorporation.

Hong Kong’s Neighbors ( China / Macau )

Linked with China with just a highspeed railway, and Macau just across the bridge, incorporating your company at these neighbors are golden chance for you to enter the mainland’s markets.

Running a foreign-owned enterprises in China, allow you to do business formally in China, without difficulties and limitations as in your local Hong Kong office. Also, when you have incorporated your Chinese company, you can open RMB invoices and use RMB as revenue. Your RMB profit can be converted into USD, which HKD is linked to, and be remitted to overseas parent company. Such benefit is only registering a foreign-owned company in China, via Hong Kong can offer you.

People in Macau spoke the same language as us, and they also shared a similar cultural background as we do. Moreover, most importantly, as a possible investor, Macau has a low tax rate. Offshore companies could be exempted from profit tax, business tax, inheritance and gift taxes, property transfer tax, stamp tax and salaries tax for the first three years of employing non-Macau residents. This means that running business in the famous Asian hub could come with a lower cost.
