EXEMPTED COMPANY INFORMATIONThe concept of Bermuda's development in the international business arena dates back to the 1950's. During the last forty years Bermuda has registered 9550 international companies ("exempted companies") and has become a leading offshore domicile. Why Bermuda? REGULATION: Exempted Company business is regulated by Acts of Parliament, specifically The Companies Act, 1981. Incorporation of exempted companies in Bermuda may be accomplished by a special Act of Parliament or by registration and filing, thus known as "incorporating an Exempted Company". Types of Companies: LOCAL COMPANIES: Must have a 60% Bermudian ownership. EXEMPTED COMPANIES: Can have a 100% ownership that is not Bermudian. An exempted company is exempt from tax and may trade only outside Bermuda or with other exempted companies incorporated in Bermuda. PERMIT COMPANIES: Companies incorporated outside Bermuda which have applied for permission to be allowed to trade from Bermuda. Taxation: Our Island at this time does not have any tax on profits, dividends or income, both corporate and personal. There are no capital gains or gift taxes. Exempted companies may apply for exemption from any taxes on profits or income until the year 2016 should such taxes ever be implemented in Bermuda. Advantages of Incorporating an Exempted Company Politically and economically stable, secure and tax neutral co-operative jurisdiction, no exchange controls, state of the art communications, highly developed infrastructure, own stock exchange (Bermuda Stock Exchange) and a sound but commercial and flexible regulatory system.
ESTATE PLANNING AND TRUSTSWhat is a Trust? "The Trust" concept provides a pivotal role in the process of insuring careful financial planing for individuals of high net worth. A Trust is a legal relationship whereby one individual transfers legal title of certain assets to another who in turn holds and manages these assets for the benefit of others. Who needs a Trust? Fundamental reasons for establishing a trust may include any number of the following;
Who is behind a Trust? The Settlor is an individual who gives property to the trustee(s) to hold for and on behalf of the beneficiaries The Trustee(s) is a person(s) who holds the legal title to the Trust Fund and who are obliged to administer the Trust for and on behalf of the beneficiaries. The Beneficiaries are the recipients of the Trust and can be individuals, companies or charities A Estate Planning and Trust related work that is prepared for and on behalf of our clients is done so in conjunction with the appropriate professionals.
