Hi ,

The vast majority of Hedge Funds use a Cayman LLC as a method to obtain tax deferral. The IRS killed that method...Tell a hedge fund that 457A and 409A ...IRS Tax Codes no longer work. They are sunk, the only way for them to achieve tax deferral is via the 402(b)...which means that pre-tax they take money out of their business and purchase shares of their own business, and that investment grows tax deferred.

Trusts have no tax deferral strategy...they are only used for asset protection and succession. Wealth managers who are an LLC have no tax deferred strategy other than properly designed 402b because the IRS ruled that if you are a dealer in financial services and a member of an LLC then you are self employed! Self Employment tax is higher!!! Again we can fix that with our 402b strategy.

Keep your financial secrets where they are protected by international law by all governments.

Privacy and Secrecy in an ORSO 402(b) Financial Account is Formally Recognized by All Governments including the People Republic of China and the United States of America for Tax Deferral.

The old Tax Haven hiding strategy no longer works because who can you trust? Since we know that that you can't trust a bank, as well; you can't trust a Trust and you can no-longer hide behind a nominee financial account. Further, in the distant past there were people who used anonymous bearer shares; those have been abolished too. So what's a person supposed to do, to protect the family wealth?

The legal basis for a 402(b)

The legal basis for a 402(b) client really boils down to two things that count. One is that there needs to be growth (contributions) rather than a capital injection. Secondly , is the W8 BEN-E. The client needs to have somebody who is able to sign it. Whether it is you or me or someone else that the 402(b) Trustee authorizes, the client has to have it. Without that there is nothing because an account can't be operated without it.

Regardless of the headlines the client needs to forget about capital injection and go for predictable growth which is something that is not abusive and he needs to be in a position where he can get someone to sign a W8-BEN-E for him.

Thirdly , has to do with what is happening to IRA's. You have seen the analysis that people are pumping IRA's full of low price, pre-IPO's stock and when the IPO blooms somehow or another that is supposedly a magic call. So these people are looking pretty slippery, well they are not slippery as the IRS is investigating them now.

The difference between the IRA onshore and the 402b offshore is the 402b message that needs to get across is that the 402(b) is different because you are not asking for tax breaks up front. You are asking for tax breaks later on and the later on is all that counts and it has to be sensible and justifiable.

Tax Law, Securities Law, Trust Law are all subordinate to Pension Law. IF someone says they have or want a trust then they have or want something that has no tax advantage for themselves....yes their are trusts whereby you give your money away forever and therefore lower your future tax bill but you can achieve the same result by standing on a street corner and giving your money away...The point is that we are talking tax strategy that gives you a benefit for YOU.

Customized Report defines your outcome and tells the attorney what you want accomplished. However, lawyers are subject to independent obligations and a lawyer is not obligated to pursue objectives or employ means simply because you may wish that the lawyer do so, especially if the lawyer would be violating another duty by pursuing the requested action. Therefore, each specific client situation is a complex matter involving laws across multiple jurisdictions including international pension law, domestic tax law, tax treaties, intergovernmental agreements, anti-money laundering rules, full disclosure rules, income tax, and estate tax.
