Trust Structures

Trusts which are established as part of a tax or estate planning strategy may own all or part of the share capital of a company, which in turn owns the assets, originally settled on the trust. Offshore companies in particular offer tax benefits, which can be favourably incorporated within a trust structure.

Offshore companies are often used to separate personal debt from business debt, to provide limited liability for shareholders, to provide anonymity and to raise capital.

Establishing the most appropriate trust requires professional assistance. Your Inter-Alliance WorldNet advisor will have access to various trustee companies and other independent taxation experts.
