Countries whom offer offshore banking
Most countries impose taxes on income
earned or gains realised within that country regardless of the country
of residence of the person or firm. Most countries also tax their
residents (individuals and companies) on all their worldwide income. One
way a person or company takes advantage of tax havens is by moving to,
and becoming resident for tax purposes in, an appropriate country.
Another way for an individual or a company to take advantage of a tax
haven is to establish a separate legal entity (an offshore company,
offshore trust or foundation), subsidiary or holding company there.
Assets are transferred to the new company or trust so that gains may be
realised, or income earned, within this legal entity rather than earned
by the beneficial owner.
Country List offering
offshore banking services
Some tax havens including some of the ones listed above do charge income tax as well as other taxes such as capital gains, inheritance tax, and so forth. Criteria distinguishing a taxpayer from a non-taxpayer can include citizenship and residency and source of income. For example, in the Cayman Islands, one pays no tax if one earns all one's revenue from outside the country but one does pay tax if one earns income from within the country.
