Offshore Company Formation
Offshore Entity/Company:
An Offshore company formation is one that is formed or incorporated in a jurisdiction that is other than where the beneficial owner resides. In simpler terms it means that an offshore company is an entity that is incorporated in a foreign jurisdiction. While an onshore country refers to a domestic company that is formed within a country and is taxed as an entity by the country, an offshore company is an entity incorporated outside the borders of the country and is therefore not considered liable for taxation if all of its income is generated outside the borders of the country.
