Online Qualification Agency: Do you know what kinds of offshore companies are?

According to Mande Enterprise Services, an offshore company refers to a company that does not carry out substantive business in its registered place. Sometimes called non-resident companies. In recent years, some countries and regions in the world (mostly island countries) have formulated and cultivated some particularly relaxed economic zones through legal means, which are generally called offshore legal zones. The so-called offshore company refers to a limited liability company or a joint stock limited company established in an offshore legal area.

Compared with general limited companies, offshore companies are mainly different in taxation. Unlike the usual practice of taxation based on turnover or profits, the governments of offshore jurisdictions only levy annual management fees on offshore companies, and do not levy any taxes. Moreover, almost all offshore jurisdictions have clearly stipulated the company's shareholder information, shareholding ratio, income status and so on. Enjoy the right to confidentiality. The meaning of "offshore" means that the investor's company is registered in an offshore legal area, but the investor does not have to visit the local area, and its business operation can be directly carried out anywhere in the world.
