Recommendations for offshore company

[harry1995]

Hi Guys,

Looking for advise while doing some research.

I’m a British resident with currently a UK LTD company selling vintage American cars online. I have a storage yard in the USA but not run through a permanent establishment, so no US tax payable.

None of my income comes from the UK (50% is USA other 50% is rest of the world Asia, South America etc.

For tax purposes I was looking at starting an LLC, but as the UK does not class this as a pass-through entity, it would confuse the matter so I’m looking for advice of where I could stop an offshore company to minimize company corporation tax, which is 25% in the UK right now

You want to relocate if you want to avoid taxes! Or you want to find a very good tax lawyer and advisor that is able to help you structure your business to reduce taxes.

From your description it appears that you have US Tax exposure.

My personal income tax in the UK is a given and im ok with that. It’s just the corporation tax I’m looking for more effective way

My understaning is that you maintain a warehouse on US soil. You also have 50% of your sales in the US. The likelyhood of you creating a permanent establishment or having effectively connected income is very high. Of course this is a question for a US tax advisor, whom if you have consulted then you should be good to go.

It’s purely for storage so it’s not classed as a permanent establishment. I have a US tax advisor and I’ve been filing US accounts for the limited company with the IRS for a few years

Did your tax advisor confirm there is no effectively connected income?

 

[harry1995]

Yes because it’s not a permeant establishment and the US has a tax treaty with the UK

Any advice on where I could efficiently start a company overseas, which has a predominant non-establishment income from the US and Asia

Switzerland could be good and credible and tax 11-13%. There’s a couple of things to have in place, am based locally and have good accountant and lawyer contacts, feel free to DM
