It may surprise you to learn that the NUMBER ONE reason for people moving money offshore is NOT because of tax benefits but asset protection. Today's predaceous and litigious society unfortunately makes successful people vulnerable to lawsuits of every kind.

Where Are Turks and Caicos Islands?

The beautiful Turks and Caicos Islands are situated 575 miles southeast of Miami and 39 miles south east of Mayaguana in the Bahamas. Covering 193 square miles of the Atlantic ocean, Turks and Caicos Islands has one of the longest coral reefs in the world, making it a premier diving destination. The Tourism industry gives Turks and Caicos its main revenue. In addition to this the islands are also a major offshore financial center.

The Turks and Caicos Islands is a British territory with strong government and legal ties to the United Kingdom, including an English common-law system as modified by local legislation.

Political Stability

There is a local governing council with a Governor appointed by the U.K. In addition, local government works closely with and obtains expertise from the U.K. government in various areas of finance and commerce. The official currency is the U.S. dollar and there are no controls on transferring funds in or out of the jurisdiction. Various banks are located here, including Barclays Bank of the U.K. and the Bank of Nova Scotia. The main industries are tourism and the financial sector, with approximately 20,000 resident corporations and trusts.

The Turks and Caicos Islands have always been politically stable and the government actively promotes its status as a tax haven. There is no income tax or tax on capital gains.

The Companies Ordinance was recently amended to provide for issuance by the Governor of a certificate guaranteeing a 20 year period of income tax exemption for any corporation. This ensures that even if tax was implemented by some future government, there would be ample time to change jurisdictions or restructure the company's affairs.

The Turks and Caicos Islands is not a party to any tax treaties or related exchange of information provisions with other countries.

Mailing, Fax, Telephone And Office Facilities: As part of the domiciliary service fee we provide clients with a registered office address in the country of incorporation but clients may find it convenient to arrange for mail forwarding, fax and telephone facilities through our Switzerland, The Bahamas Islands, London or other Petro Funds world-wide offices. This service may be especially useful where, for example, the company is opening bank accounts. Normally the bank would address statements and other correspondence to the company at the address of the client but this results in a loss of confidentiality in that the connection between the company name and the client will be automatically made.

To safeguard against this mail can be directed to our offices and we can re-mail those letters in a plain envelope addressed to the client or otherwise as the client directs. An additional advantage of using our re-mailing services is that the provision of a re-mailing address through one of our prestigiously located offices in the onshore jurisdictions may allow the offshore company to appear to be domiciled on-shore and thereby give that company an added degree if respectability.

For example, your offshore company could quote Petro Funds London office address on its letterhead and thereby appear to be domiciled in the UK. This procedure is particularly attractive if the Hong Kong address is used as a Hong Kong company is not required to quote its registered office address on its letterhead. Thus if an offshore company were to quote a Hong Kong address it would be indistinguishable from the letterhead, from a normal Hong Kong trading company. The charge for this service is only $275 per annum.

Trust Services: Using a trust to own the shares of an offshore company can result in very substantial tax and non-tax related advantages which will accrue both on death and during the lifetime of the trust settler. These advantages may include:

Saving Of Inheritance Tax: On death, the Inheritance tax which would normally be assessed on the value of shares would generally be eradicated.

Asset Protection: Assets placed into trust are generally beyond the reach of creditors who might arise as a result of financial difficulties, divorce proceedings, litigation, etc.

Avoidance Of Probate: A trust provides a means whereby assets can be smoothly passed on to the next generation without the disruption, delays substantial costs, loss of confidentiality associated with the probate procedure which necessarily follows when assets are bequeathed by will.

Continuity: Trusts provide a means whereby assets can continue to be administered in accordance with the wishes of the settlor after his death so the weak can be protected from others and the spend-thrift can be protected from himself.

Lifetime Tax Savings: During lifetime, substantial income and capital gains tax advantages may result from setting up the trust. Using the service of one of our licensed trust companies, we are pleased to act as trustee for a suitably drafted discretionary trust and the cost of this service would be from US$500 for setting up the trust deed and from US$500 per annum for the provision of trustee services.
