Offshore account

By on 07:24

Opening an offshore account is now simple, fast, and convenient for several reasons. An offshore account can indeed benefit from banking secrecy, to generate additional income or to circumvent a ban bank. 

Create an account offshore, it means opening a contract with a bank located in a country other than that of residence.The term "offshore" is used, however, in relation to countries that practice particularly low tax or guarantee confidentiality and secrecy. We can open an offshore account in Switzerland, Panama, Seychelles, French Polynesia and Wallis and Futuna. 

With an offshore account holder's identity and all financial transactions are protected by bank secrecy. Full anonymity is not possible in general, except in Uncooperative Tax Havens or judicial havens: If order for the country's justice, identity and financial activities of the customer will be unveiled in Switzerland as in other banking paradise. A numbered offshore account simply allows to further restrict the circle of people who know the identity of the holder, but not an absolute barrier. 

An offshore account increases the profitability of investments when has a tax treaty with the country of residence. In this case, the tax rate can be significantly lowered, sometimes even zero. In addition, offshore accounts used as current accounts can be useful to all those who are stuck in Banque de France as prohibited bank does not even borders.
