The New SCF ‘Trading Packages’

Added insurance for your Company (New or existing)

The one aspect of international tax planning that cannot be over emphasized is the need to 'substantiate' local management and control in your selected low tax area. Obviously, our Clients are already well aware of the need to raise invoices, hold board meetings, prepare and maintain accounts, to have local banking facilities and of course genuine local tax resident Directors. However, with many Governments having become more cash strapped than at any time since the Great Depression of 1929, anti-avoidance provisions are now being enforced with ever more rigor - To counter this, SCF has introduced two new Packages to take the hassle of establishing and proving genuine local management and control by including a number of the 'key' factors considered both under many developed countries anti-avoidance provisions and of course under the general guidelines laid out under the Organization of Economic Co-operation & Development's (O.E.C.D.) relating to international tax treaties.

The importance of International Law
& Preventing the 'Boomerang' effect

With any tax planning scheme, especially for trading companies, it is vital to show that there is a genuine 'permanent establishment' really doing the work that one would expect from the low tax jurisdiction. In today's world, it is absolutely not possible - even for relatively small trading companies - to employee nominee directors and really conduct the business back in the high tax country: to do so is not only illegal but to put it frankly quite silly as robust structures can be provided quite economically. However, for those unwise enough to run the gauntlet the consequence is that there will almost certainly be a 'boomerang' effect back to the high tax country resulting not just in penalties but potentially criminal action. Certainly when working with the SCF/Hibernian Group you can rest assure that our 'trading' company structures not only have local tax resident directors, management agreements, administration, local banking and accountancy but consultants who will do everything in their power to help you and your business prosper even in these difficult times. In this vein, many of our clients have sought our assistance in setting up local web sites, virtual and dedicated land line telephony (vital if one is asked for utility bills), business cards and letterheads including a simple (if you don't already have one) logo design.
