Offshore Investments for Individuals and Companies
There are a number of benefits for both companies and private individuals to consider when investing offshore whether you are a UK resident or not.
Contrary to popular belief investing offshore is no longer just for the rich and famous and investments offshore can benefit both UK resident, private or corporate investors with the ability to potentially receive the benefits paid gross of tax. Unfortunately as a UK resident for both the company and private individual, tax will be payable at your highest marginal rate.
The main advantage of investing offshore is if you are planning to leave the UK to live or work abroad by taking advantage of preferential tax rates potentially available. There are a number of benefits for companies to take into consideration when investing offshore.
The aim of company investments is to achieve the best performance for the money that your company holds and a popular misconception is that they can only opt for deposit based bank accounts, whereas this is not the case. With company investments you can take different levels of risk for different periods of time and therefore the performance will depend upon a number of factors that are discussed in more detail when choosing what investment structure is most suitable for your business.
Company Investments can offer:
- Potentially higher returns from stocks and shares than traditional deposit accounts
- Capital Protected Investments are available if security of capital is a concern
- We can provide a diverse range of investments to meet your company's needs
