Offshore There are a number of offshore locations around the world that offer favorable tax concessions to the international investor. Many of the financial institutions operating out of these locations pay no capital gains tax, corporation tax or income tax on policyholders’ funds. There are a number of reputable offshore locations offering policyholder protection such as the British Channel Islands and the Isle of Man located off the coast of the UK and landlocked countries such as Luxembourg and Switzerland. A high degree of confidentiality is typically offered by some of these locations. With any financial planning advice we provide we take into account the stability of the offshore location, the tax advantages that may exist and the level of investor protection that is provided within the location’s legislation.
