Since 2019 the British Virgin Islands (BVIの) have adopted the Economic Substance (それは) regulations under the pressure of the European Union (EU). They apply to some specific activities (the “relevant 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. It would make no sense (at least to most people) to hire local employees just for the sole purpose of creating an economic substance ... 続きを読む

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). Why? Without access to the court decision, one can only guess that it could be because PROMINEE® is attached to a company registered in the USA, which ... 続きを読む

After decades of backward, old fashioned and painful legalizations through embassies: Canada will finally enforce the Apostille Convention of the Hague from 11/JAN/2024!

It is with great delight that China is now part of the Hague Apostille convention from today (07/NOV/2023). Unfortunately the Chinese Apostilles are not (yet) recognized by India and any other states not recognized by China, but this will most likely change in the (near) future.

Twenty years ago, a Nevis LLC was incorporated and kept all those years until the agent became stupid/greedy/absurd. While the Nevis agent cannot be named, the limit was reached when the agent added this service: Discard all mail received, at a fee of $100 per annum This agent charges US$1,000 for a Nevis LLC incorporation, then US$700 per year for the maintenance, plus an extra US$100 per year just to throw mail in the trash… By switching to our Trust service, the customer paid £350 GBP for the first year, and will pay £150 GBP per year for the subsequent ... 続きを読む

Similar to a holding company: an investment company can open a brokerage account and start investing in the stock markets around the world. If you are in a country that has investment restrictions (economic patriotism), or in which the yearly management is expensive and burdensome: you can outsource and organize it into another country. 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. The trustee company will give you the flexibility and a bundle of two Nominee Shareholders: ... 続きを読む
