Jurisdiction : ANDORRA

Andorra IBC Only US$599 flag andorra

It may surprise you to learn that the number one reason for people moving money offshore is NOT because of tax benefits but asset protection.

Today's predaceous and litigious society unfortunately makes successful people vulnerable to lawsuits of every kind.

An Extremely Attractive Jurisdiction

The Principality of Andorra is located in the heart of the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.

This small country is widely represented in the world. It has 6 embassies and 6 tourist offices abroad apart from being represented worldwide in the most important international bodies.

The Andorran state has enjoyed a separate identity and social and political independence for more than 1000 years, but at the same time it is one of the youngest of nations. Its Constitution dates only from March 14 1993. The combination of these two characteristics allows the Principality of Andorra to maintain its secular traditions in a spirit of constant renewal and progress.

Andorra has no official currency, and a wide range of currencies are accepted internally. The French franc and Spanish peseta are most commonly used, and the national accounts are kept in pesetas.

The business environment in Andorra is very liberal. There are no corporate income taxes, and regulations are light. Since there is no currency, there are no exchange or capital controls. Telecommunications are excellent, and Internet hosting is available.

One And Only Andorra

The climate of Andorra is very pleasant and the air is pure. The highest point is at 2,947 m (peak of Coma Pedrosa) and the lower at 840 m (Spanish-andorran border). Andorra is divided into three Y-shaped valleys, washed by the rivers Valira del Nord and Valira d'Orient, which join to form the Grand Valira.

The country has an extension of 468 sq. km, and a population of 65,877 inhabitants. During summer, they are a paradise for hikers and bikers, in winter a heaven for all kind of winter sports.

Andorra is administratively divided into seven parishes:

Canillo, Encamp, Ordino, la Massana, Andorra la Vella, Sant Julià de Lòria and Escaldes-Engordany.

The mountain climate of Andorra is healthy and dry. The rainfall is never excessive.

There is abundant snow in the winter and the temperatures are cold but pleasant, since the weather is sunny all year round. The bottom of the valleys is warm in the summer. The official language is Catalan, but English, French and Spanish are widely spoken

Advantages of Andorra non-resident companies.

An Andorra non-resident company is not liable to any taxation.

Andorra has not concluded double taxation agreements with other nations. This means that no information is exchanged with other countries fiscal authorities.

Incorporation and running of the company is simpler and more cost-effective than in many other offshore jurisdictions.

Andorra is a reputable finance center within the European Union. Companies incorporated there compare favorably to those registered in purely offshore jurisdictions.

Mailing, Fax, Telephone And Office Facilities: As part of the domiciliary service fee we provide clients with a registered office address in the country of incorporation but clients may find it convenient to arrange for mail forwarding, fax and telephone facilities through our affiliates Switzerland, The Bahamas Islands, London or other British Capital Group offices.

This service may be especially useful where, for example, the company is opening bank accounts. Normally the bank would address statements and other correspondence to the company at the address of the client but this results in a loss of confidentiality in that the connection between the company name and the client will be automatically made.

To safeguard against this mail can be directed to our offices and we can re-mail those letters in a plain envelope addressed to the client or otherwise as the client directs. An additional advantage of using our re-mailing services is that the provision of a re-mailing address through one of our prestigiously located offices in the onshore jurisdictions may allow the offshore company to appear to be domiciled on-shore and thereby give that company an added degree if respectability.

For example, your offshore company could quote British Capital Group London office address on its letterhead and thereby appear to be domiciled in the UK.

This procedure is particularly attractive if the Hong Kong address is used as a Hong Kong company is not required to quote its registered office address on its letterhead. Thus if an offshore company were to quote a Hong Kong address it would be indistinguishable from the letterhead, from a normal Hong Kong trading company.The charge for this service is only $275 per annum.

Trust Services: Using a trust to own the shares of an offshore company can result in very substantial tax and non-tax related advantages which will accrue both on death and during the lifetime of the trust settlor. These advantages may include:

Saving Of Inheritance Tax: On death, the Inheritance tax which would normally be assessed on the value of shares would generally be eradicated.

Asset Protection: Assets placed into trust are generally beyond the reach of creditors who might arise as a result of financial difficulties, divorce proceedings, litigation, etc.

Avoidance Of Probate: A trust provides a means whereby assets can be smoothly passed on to the next generation without the disruption, delays substantial costs, loss of confidentiality associated with the probate procedure which necessarily follows when assets are bequeathed by will.

Continuity: Trusts provide a means whereby assets can continue to be administered in accordance with the wishes of the settlor after his death so the weak can be protected from others and the spend-thrift can be protected from himself.

Lifetime Tax Savings:

During lifetime, substantial income and capital gains tax advantages may result from setting up the trust. Using the service of one of our licensed trust companies, we are pleased to act as trustee for a suitably drafted discretionary trust and the cost of this service would be from US$500 for setting up the trust deed and from US$500 per annum for the provision of trustee services.

Other Services: British Capital Group provides a wide range of administrative and documentary services including, but not limited to legalization and notarizing of documents, credit cards, yacht and ship registration, invoicing, documentary trade services, trade finance applications, accounting, consulting and immigration services.
