Offshore Investment Guide

Hi ,

The world has turned and it is not in the same place it was in years past. Before the new international banking transparency laws were enacted (ie. FATCA, GATCA etc...) it was a right-of-passage for successful people to set-up an offshore structure in a low-tax jurisdiction, as a "nest-egg". Now all nations are sharing bank information and "nest-eggs" have turned into time-bombs, as these legacy offshore structures have major IRS reporting problems.

Please join us Saturday March 1, at 1:00 PM EST for a webinar to learn from experts about the reporting problems related to Private Placement Life Insurance (PPLI & PPVA), Offshore Trusts, Offshore IBC, LLC's and other legacy offshore structures.

Offshore Investment Tax Trap

Why you need a Regulated Assset Protection Structure?

Every day people are coming to us requesting information about setting up an operational company and holding company overseas for their business. Most of these people have never sought Legal advice because if they asked an Attorney the following questions they would learn from their answers, why they do not want a company structure!

Does an offshore business provide:

  • Privacy & Confidentiality - NO
  • Excluded from worldwide taxable assets - NO
  • Exempt from Tax reporting on participation - NO
  • Exempt from International disclosure reporting - NO
  • Exempt from reporting on contributions - NO
  • Protected by Double Tax Agreements & Tax Information Exchange Agreements - NO
  • Has Liquidity Problems - YES
  • Pre-Qualified Anti-Money Laundering and Disclosure - NO
  • Preempts tax law (estate, inheritance & succession) - NO
  • Subject to Probate - YES
  • Avoids claims, counter-claims, discovery, dispositions, interrogatories, and potential court appearances - NO
  • Irrevocable - YES
Now that you know what you don't want to do, learn more about the Regulated Asset Protection Structure (RAPS).

Offshore Investment Tax Trap Examples

Examples from a real-life case study of two actual cross border retirement planning errors. We share with you Two Tax Traps that could have been avoided if they had bolted on a specific ''RAPS''

  1. German Citizen, Mining Engineer, Resident Germany, is transferred to work in Peru, which he does for 8 years. In Peru his employer participated in a 401k type Peru retirement plan. He was then transferred to work in Arizona. First time resident of USA. Of course the clock started the minute he received a USA work Visa. He got to thinking about his 200,000 USD in his Peru retirement plan so his company in Peru requested from the Peru Government that he be able to withdraw those funds without tax consequence in Peru. And the Peru Government agreed. He was obviously quite happy until he learned that the USA considered his receipt of that non-taxed retirement plan as income in the year he received it into the USA $200,000 added to that years 1040.
  2. US Citizen, Czech wife and they decide to retire to the Czech Republic. After becoming resident in the Czech Republic he decided to withdraw his Roth IRA funds. That withdrawal then became subject to Czech Tax on every dollar above 450,000 Czech Krone (approx 21,000 USD). Since his Roth IRA was 500,000.00 approx. He paid approx 96,000 USD in Czech Tax.

Clearly it is better to "look before you leap".
