Jag lovar återkomma med svar från skattmasen, det är ganska kul att ta reda på saker ibland. Det kostar dessutom gratis när det är till svenska myndigheter man ställer frågorna.
Det finns helt lagliga öppningar lite var stans i byråkratin verkar det som.
Det viktiga för mig är att ta reda på fakta så att det är 100% legitimt, och inte kommer sura efterräkningar pga specialregler, undantag eller mina feltolkningar (jag är ju varken revisor, jurist eller advokat utan bara en glad entreprenör som vill göra lönsamma affärer).
Antigua i västindien har världens strängaste sekretessregler kring sina offshorebolagsregister. Det är högeligen straffbart för tjänstemän att avslöja vilka som ligger bakom bolag i Antigua. Inga skatter var det senast jag kollade, tror inte ens man behövde lämna in deklaration på bolaget (som man inte heller behöver i Gibraltar). Kan vara kul att kolla detta....
Antigua
Antigua är en av de mest frekventerade öarna i Västindien.
Det torra klimatet och turistmyndigheternas slogan "365 stränder - en för var dag på året" har starkt bidragit till det. Ön har en odramatisk natur men saknar absolut inte skönhet.
Ett besök i English Harbour med Nelson´s Dockyard är av historiskt intresse.
På Antigua bor 65.000 människor och ön mäter 25 km tvärs över. Huvudstaden St. John´s är oerhört gemytlig och har ca 30.000 invånare.
Det officiella språket är engelska.
Tillsammans med ön Barbuda utgör Antigua en självständig nation sedan 1981 inom det brittiska samväldet.
En perfekt ö för barnfamiljer, smekmånadspar och soldyrkare i allmänhet. Här har man möjlighet att hitta sin alldeles egna strand.

ANTIGUA OFFSHORE COMPANIES
Antigua and Barbuda is an independent, English-speaking country in the Eastern Caribbean. It is a politically stable, safe and private jurisdiction for offshore companies and offshore bank accounts. As a former British colony, Antigua's legal system embodies the principle of English statutory and common law, making it particularly attractive for certain transactions not easily structured under civil law systems.
The International Business Corporations Act of 1982 (as amended) provides excellent confidentiality and privacy. The Act prohibits the disclosure of information imparted under conditions of business or professional confidence. The Act applies to banks and professionals (including attorneys, accountants, government officers, secretaries, etc.) and includes all commercial transactions arising in Antigua and Barbuda and continues to apply whether inside or outside of Antigua and Barbuda.
Bearer shares are allowed and there is no requirement for disclosure of the beneficial ownership. There is also no requirement for filing audited accounts or annual statements of any kind.
A company incorporated under the Act is exempt from income tax for all payments by the company to persons not resident in Antigua and Barbuda. There are no real estate, inheritance, succession, gift taxes, or duty, payable by persons not resident in Antigua and Barbuda with respect to any shares, debt obligations or other securities of a company incorporated under this Act.
Because Antigua and Barbuda is an independent nation, it is not affected by the UK/EU regulations concerning the tax status of the British Dependent Territories.
Antigua and Barbuda is party to various conventions on drugs and money laundering issues. The Proceeds of Crime Act, passed in 1993, established areas of co-operation with the US and the UK. An extradition treaty with the US was signed in 1995, providing for extradition in cases of dual criminality. A Money Laundering Act was also passed in 1996, establishing guidelines for offshore banking.

Why Gibraltar?
Due to its territorial tax regime and its special political status, Gibraltar is an ideal European base for management of any international business. An offshore company, registered in a traditional tax haven country, can be headquartered and administered from Gibraltar and still maintain its tax-free status. By being professionally managed from Gibraltar, an offshore IBC can successfully pass the “Mind and Management” test that is routinely applied by foreign tax authorities.
The providers of company management services in Gibraltar are licensed and regulated by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission. All company managers must be “fit and proper” professionals stringently vetted and supervised by the Gibraltar FSC. In particular, it is mandatory for all Gibraltar company management and trust firms to carry professional indemnity insurance. The exemplary regulatory regime in Gibraltar provides for a complete peace-of-mind for company owners and investors.
There is no withholding tax on dividends paid to non-residents, no capital gains tax, no wealth tax and no inheritance tax in Gibraltar. There is also no sales tax and no VAT in Gibraltar, although, subject to their business profile, Gibraltar firms can obtain a British VAT number.
There are no exchange controls in Gibraltar and the local currency (Gibraltar Pound Sterling) is on par and mutually exchangeable for British Pound Sterling.
Gibraltar has a legal system based on British common law, a strong rule of law, efficient courts and a pool of internationally qualified lawyers. Services of accounting, insurance, asset management and finance are also readily available.
Gibraltar is effectively bi-lingual, English being the official language and Spanish being spoken widely. It is located in the Central European Time zone, same as Berlin, Amsterdam Paris, Madrid or Rome, and one hour ahead of London. Gibraltar has excellent telecommunications and is easily accessible by air, land or sea.
