Open Bank account, establish Offshore Company online, use anonymous Credit cards, doing your own online business and still stay anonymous? Yes of course... Doing offshore is legal way to increase your business. What do you think? Is it so possible? I say yes. Daniel, net-commerce.org
Yes, but why not? Many people think that it's not so easy or possible. And in these seas is lot of scam so I would like to bring some opportunities. Daniel
By day, I run the network for a hosting and access company in Bermuda. Many "interesting" proposals cross my desk each week. Most of them are illegal. Properly structured, it's very possible to set up a business so that it has a great tax position, and is not linked to your personal assets. But doing it anonymously is all but impossible. All REAL banks have a know your customer philosophy/requirement. Even dinky little banks in backwater Caribbean locations. The US Patriot act has made it very difficult. BP
Yes, if you want to establish offshore company or bank account you have to provide apostilled documents of your REAL identity. But you are not oficially owner of this company. If you need bank account without providing identity details, you can do it in Switzerland but minimum deposit is about US$ 250.000. But your country where you live don't know anything about your offshore services and if you use also secure anonymous communication nobody can find out who and where you are. Big Brother also can't
I'm sorry, I don't understand: Bermuda is a well-regarded low-tax regime. We know all about offshore. When Kerry was bitching about companies moving offshore for tax reasons, he was talking about us. BP
I mean that they don't know anything about your real identity. If you are using secure communication they won't come and knocking on your door...
Just remember, no matter what the bank or country it resides in says, the United States of America is watching. If you have more than $10,000 in your bank account, you just got put on a list. After 9-11, everything changed.
Think so? Ask yourself, just how did the U.S.A. seize all that money from terrorist groups and supporters that was in foreign banks. Surely these people knew a little more than how to just be anonymous. Right?
There really is NO PLACE where your money is safe, and you can be anonymous. There are places where your money is safe, and there are places where you can be anonymous, but now in the western world there is no place where you can be both. I know you can have apostiles, and quasi anonumous ownerships of companies, but the company has to open a bank account ot trade, and the moement the bank gets involve it will need to see the papers. These papers leave a trail to the agent, who leaves a trail to the beneficiaries and owners. Without this information the banks will not open the account. Those days have gone now, there are legal ways to set up offshore companies, and for that company to hold ownership of certain assetts to protect you from tax, but we are talking about inheritance tax, capital gains tax, corporation tax etc, not anonymity. Don't get me wrong here, you can appear to be anonymous to your own country byt way of refusing to answer questions about offshore ownership, but you are NOT anonymous per se.
People only know what they hear or are told this applies to everything from tv to magazines. I am sure there are many people all over the world that remain anonymous!
Without doubt, but we are talking about doing it legally The simple fact is that there is no need in the UK to become annymous. If a company is set up in US for example, it trades offshore, then there is no tax liability in the UK. Liability occurs when you repatriate any profits into the EU.
