How the EU killed the British Virgin Islands (BVI)

Since 2019 the British Virgin Islands (BVI) have adopted the Economic Substance (ES) regulations under the pressure of the European Union (EU). They apply to some specific activities (therelevant activities”) which most people would use the BVI for (ie: holding companies). Any company or limited partnership has to show that either: it has an economic substance in the BVI (ie: local employees and/or local managers) or it is tax residence somewhere else than the BVI.

PROMINEE® is banned in Russia

A formal email was received from the Russian Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and Mass Communications (ROSKOMNADZOR) that our PROMINEE® website has been blocked from Russia. A reference to the decision of the Kungur City Court (Perm Territory) No. 2a-3556/2023 dated 2023-12-25 (on Christmas day?!) has been made but the decision is nowhere to be found (a VPN in Russia is needed to see the court’s website).

Egy eset példa: egy illegális Trust Belize-ben

Néha a legalapvetőbb jogi struktúra teljesen romlott lehet, hogy valami illegálissá váljon. Vegyük például ezt a brit házaspárt, akik bizalmat akarnak létrehozni Belize-ben. Felvették a kapcsolatot egy engedéllyel rendelkező helyi ügynökkel, és tetemes díjat fizetett egy Trust létrehozásáért (7x szer drágább, mint a PROMINEE®). A bizalmi okirat elkészítésének ideje alatt: the spouses expressed their wish to be able to contribute to the Trust. The licensed local agent in Belize created a chimera: a Trust with 2x Settlors/Grantors! Not only that but they never sent out the signed Deed to their own customers. For those unaware ...

Egy eset példa: befektetési társaság

Hasonló egy holdingtársasághoz: A befektetési társaság brókerszámlát nyithat és elkezdhet befektetni a tőzsdéken szerte a világon. Ha olyan országban tartózkodik, ahol befektetési korlátozások vannak érvényben (gazdasági hazafiság), vagy ahol az éves gazdálkodás költséges és megterhelő: Kiszervezheti és megszervezheti egy másik országba. The implementation requires two legal entities: a trust and a company (acting as a trustee). The trust will shield away your ownership while still granting you full control over the assets.
