Offshore. What is it and with what it is eaten.
An offshore zone is a certain piece of land (land, water, it doesn't matter), a piece of the state or the state itself, which provides preferential conditions for doing business. That is, it takes minimum taxes or does not take them at all and does not require accounting. An offshore company is a company registered on the territory of an offshore zone and having benefits. So why do we need to know all this?
And in order to launder our dirty money, by transferring funds to our accounts (or to the accounts of our partners) offshore, and then launder and close the company with all the giblets.
Of course, in words everything sounds easy and colorful, but do not forget that this is reality, but in reality there are no fairy tales. And in order to create an offshore, you need to come to one of the offshore states, create a company there and pay a fee, then come to Russia and create an account here to send money to the offshore account, and so on. Nevertheless, the very idea of using an offshore for washing has existed for a long time, and the first who started using it were our businessmen and officials. How, you ask? It's very simple, many modern Russian companies are registered offshore and pay mere pennies in Russia, thereby avoiding taxes (in general).
Now I would like to tell you about several offshore zones that, in my opinion, are the most convenient for us in our business, or those that are simply safe for us, and also tell you about some of the pros and cons.
So, to begin with, let's give an example of the main advantages of offshore companies for us, well, let's say for our business (if you want to use offshore companies in a different way, except for carding):
Offshore zones:
On this, I think, we can finish for now, the article turned out to be rather small. If you are interested, next time we will consider this topic in more detail, we will review the electronic systems of offshore zones and virtual accounts.

- No taxes. The entrepreneur must pay an annual fee, he is completely exempt from income tax.
- A registered offshore company is considered a full-fledged subject of activity in the international market.
- The opening of the enterprise takes place in the shortest possible time. Little time is spent on collecting the necessary documents.
- The entrepreneur chooses the optimal form of organizational and legal activity from the proposed list.
- The minimum costs of the enterprise. This is due to the fact that in many countries they are exempted from auditing (for example, there are no audit requirements for Belize offshores).
- After the company is registered in the economic zone, it has the right to open a current account with the bank. At the same time, it is not necessary to be present in person.
- In the offshore zone, no one has the right to receive information about the company. This can only be if there is a court decision on it.
Offshore zones:
- UAE - today, perhaps, the UAE is one of the best offshore zones in the world. Companies registered here are completely exempt from taxes and reporting. The UAE is not included in any of the offshore lists and no restrictions are imposed on transactions with a company from the UAE.
- CYPRUS is perhaps the best jurisdiction in Europe. Cyprus has the lowest tax in Europe - 10%, which allows the company to be used in most optimization schemes.
- Malta is one of the best European jurisdictions. Due to local legislation, it is possible to reduce the tax up to 5%, which allows the company to be used in most optimization schemes.
- Panama is one of the best offshore areas. A rapidly developing offshore center. Offshore companies are completely exempt from taxes and reporting.
- Seychelles - simplified company registration process, complete absence of taxes and reporting. Complete confidentiality.
- Dominica is a rapidly developing offshore center. Offshore companies are completely exempt from taxes and reporting.
- Bahamas - in terms of the volume of offshore transactions, the Bahamas occupies one of the first places in the world. Offshore companies are completely exempt from taxes and reporting.
