Business development will be more successful if its owner thinks about minimizing the tax burden. This procedure is completely legal - all over the world, entrepreneurs use companies registered in tax-free jurisdictions. To create a group of companies, it is important to think over its optimal structure and find a company that will be able to register and guarantee services for foreign companies in a short time.
Instructions
Step 1
A group of companies is two or more independent companies organized and / or controlled by one or more persons. They can be linked by legal or other relationships. Such companies are run from one center for profit. It is important that the group of companies allows you to minimize taxation of profits. Therefore, start by choosing the jurisdiction for the center company.
Step 2
A good structure in order to minimize taxation appears to be a structure consisting of a parent company registered in a tax-free jurisdiction, a related company registered in a country that is a party to numerous tax treaties, and Russian companies. They will directly carry out any actions on the territory of Russia. Consider choosing a tax-free jurisdiction by examining the company laws of the most "popular" tax-free countries (British Virgin Islands, Bahamas, etc.). Similarly, study in general terms the legislation of the countries party to tax treaties and the treaties themselves. The choice of such jurisdictions will largely depend on the nature of your business.
Step 3
Find a law firm that deals with the registration of companies abroad. There are a lot of such firms, but it should be borne in mind that most of them are capable of providing only services for the direct registration of companies. Such firms cannot provide full advice on taxes and the creation of groups of companies. Therefore, either properly study the laws on companies in different countries yourself, or use the help of an international lawyer who specializes in certain jurisdictions.
Step 4
You can also buy ready-made companies (created earlier) and "build" your Russian companies into their structure. This makes sense for those who are afraid of wasting time, since the actual registration of the company (with all the forwarding of documents) on average can take up to two weeks, and you will have the documents of the ready-made company in just two to three days.
Step 5
Foreign companies need annual service - registration of all necessary decisions, timely submission of financial statements (if necessary) to the tax authorities. Poor service of the "parent" companies of the group jeopardizes the entire business, therefore, when registering, choose a company that can guarantee the service of your companies. Pay attention to service prices: too low prices may indicate that not all significant actions are included in the company's service package, and you will have to pay extra for something.
