All about off-shore companies / tax havens?

  1. WHY SHOULD ONE CONSIDER DOING IT ?

  2. WHAT POINTS SHOULD ONE KEEP IN MIND WHEN SHORT-LISTING TAX HAVEN LOCATIONS ?

  3. BESIDES LOW-TAX BRACKET ,WHAT OTHER ARES SHOULD BE OF KEY CONCERN LIKE PRIVACY , SECURITY , ANONIMITY ETC

In an environment where govt is going after all Indians with money stashed abroad, I don’t really see any merit in doing this unless if you already have money abroad or planning to relocate from India.

I am answering in the trading context

Why? I guess the obvious answer is that you have money abroad which wants to come to capital markets. Bringing it through these locations is easier on tax, and also a lot of of these locations don’t really bother much on the source of your cash.

But yeah, like I said, best avoided.

i mean same way MNC like starbucks , mcdonalds,walmart etc use tax havens to stash profits from global operations & also " EASE OF DOING BUSINESS " , can’t institutional traders do the same ???
