Outsourcing of international business companies and bank accounts
The trend of universal “deoffshorization” dictates its own conditions. “Substance”, “due diligence”, “compliance”, “PEP” – recently, these terms are used in the business environment without translation. The use of international business companies in export-import operations, asset management (including bank accounts) should not be vulnerable to OCED control “filters” in the form of BEPS, MLI, CRS and other instruments to combat “incorrect tax competition”.
Yes, of course we also open offshore companies and holding structures for our clients. For twenty years, KAC Group has registered thousands of them around the world. But in today’s realities, they are only tools for owning and managing assets, generating passive income, protecting against motivated actions of Ukrainian regulatory authorities, and raiding. And in the current conditions, as trading companies, offshore companies, alas, are no longer relevant.
In export-import operations, as a rule, trade partners are actively involved – international business companies, which until recently were generally called “offshore” regardless of their tax and resident status.
With the active implementation of BEPS, MLI (anti-erosion of the tax base) plans and information exchanges, companies have difficulties opening bank accounts not only during Due diligence (customer identification). The main thing is compliance with Complianse, and the main requirement is to link the company’s business to the country where the bank account is located.
We offer a comprehensive product “an international business company and a bank account in one jurisdiction” (with full compliance with Complianse terms) for export-import operations in the following areas:
Northern Europe – Estonia, Central Europe – Польша, Southern Europe – Hungary, Africa and Asia – Turkey. These countries are not included in any “black lists”, they do not have high tax rates, as well as double tax treaties with Ukraine.
