- How to Create an Offshore Tax Shelter
Offshore financial centers are often used to run tax shelters. They have little or no taxes, and little or no financial regulations. For example, in the British Virgin Islands, corporations can be formed without the public disclosure of the names of the directors or officers of the corporation. Favorite offshore tax havens include colonial relics such as the Cayman Islands (British), the Dutch Antilles and Curacao (Netherlands). Other places are feudal relics like Monaco, Liechentenstein and Andorra in Europe, or other nominally independent small nations from the old British, Dutch and French Empires. Other places historically in the U.S. zone of influence are Panama and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

This is not too bad if it is dealt with in a logical order rather than the system which is employed by many – last minute blind panic!
