Offshore Company
Offshore companies can benefit from tax preferences, and sometimes a secret bank more or less said. But how can you define exactly an offshore company?
An offshore company is a company that has established its headquarters in a country where it has no commercial activity, and no responsible leadership resides. An offshore company is non-resident, and may in fact benefit from tax advantages to 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 shown up by a collaborator, but she is fully controlled from outside.
For an offshore company remains within the law while being successful, some rules must be applied. It is normally not possible to be an employee of an offshore company, since any activity on French soil is subject to taxation. Therefore, leaders of an offshore company can only divide the annual profit, without having an employee status.
But such use of an offshore company is likely to be in the sights of the French tax authorities: the leaders of an offshore company must be able to prove steady income, allowing them to assume the burdens of their current life France (rent, bills etc..). The creation of an offshore company must generally be doubled to open a branch in France, which granted 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.
