Investing in Offshore Trusts
![]() |
An offshore trust is created when assets are transferred to a trustee. The trustee becomes the legal owner and is responsible for managing the assets and distributing them to the beneficiaries of the offshore trust (which could include the person or corporation which transferred the assets to the trustees) in accordance with the terms of the trust deed.
The terms on which the Trustees administer the trust assets are detailed in a trust deed and trust legislation to govern trusts has been enacted in many common law jurisdictions.
The Advantages of Offshore Trusts
- Private relationship, for example, in the Isle of Man offshore trust deeds are not publicly registered.
- Wealth protection.
- Tailored to specific family requirements.
- Recognized in all common law jurisdictions.
- Increasing recognition in important civil law jurisdictions.
- An important tool in international income, capital gains and estate tax planning.
- Used by corporations for employee benefit plans, retirement and stock option schemes, insurance plans and special financing arrangements.
Offshore Trust Solutions for Individuals
A trust is the solution for individuals who:
- Want to preserve their wealth against uncertainty, political, economic or family.
- Want to transfer wealth to their heirs in a tax-efficient manner. They want to plan their estate to maximize the benefits of their wealth for family members and others.
- Want to transfer wealth to their heirs in accordance with their wishes and not in accordance with the laws of the country where they live.
- Want to consolidate the ownership of assets owned throughout the world in one location.
- Want centralised reporting
- Want to minimize or eliminate estate taxes arising on the death of the Settlor.
Why establish a trust offshore?
Offshore Trusts in Belize
The Belize Trust Act of 1992 created exceptionally beneficial and flexible trust legislation in Belize. It is considered by many to be the most protective and convenient trust legislation in the world. It is the only jurisdiction in the world where a trust is completely protected by legislation; a Belizean court will not recognize the validity of any claim against the trust, it will not recognize the law of another jurisdiction or the order of a foreign court in respect of marriage or divorce, succession or claims by creditors or litigants. An incredibly high level of asset protection is achieved with these provisions.
Belize - Tax Haven Security
Since the 1990s, Belize has been positioning itself to become one of the world's best tax havens. Starting with a basis of progressive, advantageous tax, trust and offshore legislation, a court intent on upholding its advantages, a diversified national economy, and a record of civil peace and stability, Belize has created an enviable climate for offshore investing.
International Business Company
An International Business Company (IBC) is the most popular type of offshore corporation. Any international business a Belize IBC engages in is taxed at a rate of 1.75% and there is no capital gains tax. An IBC can often be set up within a few hours (for as little as US $1,035), which allows you to cash in on tax advantages when you find a great business opportunity. The laws that govern an IBC are in the same spirit as those that govern Offshore Trusts in Belize, and provide the same degree of privacy and confidentiality. At registration no information whatsoever is filed on public record as to the ownership or beneficiaries of the company; there are no reporting requirements; and no financial accounts are required to be prepared or filed.
