Offshore company

Offshore companies can benefit from tax preferences, and sometimes a more or less secrecy said. But how exactly can we define an offshore company?

An offshore company is a company that has established its headquarters in a country where it has no commercial activity, and none of the leaders responsible is not. An offshore company is a non-resident, and can in fact benefit from tax incentives on the express condition that it does not fit into the local economy by making available, for example, labor, or by using resources from a bank of the country or state aid. An offshore company may eventually be represented on site by a colleague, but it is entirely externally driven.

For an offshore company remains within the legal framework as well as being successful, some rules must be applied. It is not normally possible to be an employee of an offshore company, since any activity performed on French soil is subject to taxation. Therefore, the leaders of an offshore company can only share the annual profits, without having an employee status.

But such use of an offshore company is likely to be in the crosshairs of the French tax authorities: the leaders of an offshore company must have proof of regular income, enabling them to assume the routine of their lives France (rent, bills etc.).. The creation of an offshore company must generally be doubled to open a branch in France, which provides a status of employees or officers from a monthly salary reduced to the minimum necessary, and subject to French taxation, and will be released and clear the leaders of the suspicion of tax for minimum tax.
