Märtsis 2020 kõigi Seišellidel asuvate ettevõtete tegelikult kasusaavad omanikud registreeritakse andmebaasis, millele rahapesu andmebürool ja muudel kohalikel asutustel on otsene juurdepääs. Register aktsepteerib ainult füüsilisi isikuid ega aktsepteeri juriidilisi isikuid. Tuleb märkida, et registreerida tuleb nii nominent kui ka nominaator. Kui tegelik kasusaaja on usaldusisik, ei ole peavarju: kas asutaja või kõik tegelikud kasusaajad tuleb registreerida. Seišellidel asutatud ettevõtted võivad kolida teise jurisdiktsiooni (võta meiega ühendust). Võrdluseks: attached below is ... Read more

What a genocide by the Belize IFSC: they did not renew 16 Ettevõtjad. The announcement is made at the end of April 2020 with effect from the 1st January 2020! That is a real problem with license-based jurisdictions (Seychelles is another one): suddenly an entire list of companies created by those operators become illegal.

Jõustub 1. aprillil 2020: iga-aastane hooldustasu tõuseb 450 USA dollarilt 500 USA dollarini kõigi ettevõtete ja IBC-de puhul. Partnerlus ja välismaine merendusüksus (FME) ei muutu. See kasv on tingitud Euroopa Liidu poolt Marshalli saartele surutud majandusliku sisu määruste järgimise kuludest. Suveräänsusest rääkimine: ärge imestage, et Brexit juhtus. Lõppude lõpuks ei ole Marshalli saared ELis, nii et neil on lihtne kõndida. See oli juba kirjutatud: artiklit 4(2) kohaselt austab Euroopa Liidu leping ainult teisi liikmesriike. Let’s send a big thank ... Read more

The worldwide industry of non-resident, low tax or tax neutral companies is panicking: all the big accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernest and Young, KMPG, and PWC) have been overwhelmed by a wave of recent legislation adopted by many jurisdictions at once. The call (shot?) has been made by the European Commission in Brussels regarding the non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. Some people will believe that it targets only small players, and others will believe that it only affects big players. In fact it is targeting every body. The biggest players affected are Chinese companies incorporated in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Such companies ... Read more
