Could anyone comment on the consequences of an Austrian resident owning a foreign/ offshore company?
I'm thinking about the application of controlled foreign company rules to the ownership of a foreign company and what the effects would be. Thank you

Dear Sir,
For geographic and business considerations you might consider incorporating a Hungarian company. Hungary maintains a 19% corporate income tax level and does not impose any withholding tax upon distribution of the dividend to offshore structures.

Dear Sirs
After reading your post on Lowtax.com please note that from our 92 Jurisdictions which we service the most appropriate in your particular case is either Gibraltar or UAE as they both address your particular concerns. Please note that the recommendation is based on the information at hand however once we further progress there is a possibility that the recommended jurisdiction may need to be changed to address your particular needs.
We are able to offer complete corporate services in all Jurisdictions directly via our own offices.
There are 27 Free zones available in UAE and within these aprox 20 different structures that may be used, therefore we have 540 options available as a starting point and then these need to be adapted to the needs of the customer in relation to their specific requirements for employees, operating areas and licences. However there is also the normal IBC structure in which we are able to deliver in aprox 3 working days.
In relation to Gibraltar there are various options which are attractive especially with the Cat 2 highly tax efficient Immigration programmes.
The two jurisdictions offer spectacular value especially when coupled to multi jurisdictional structures or trusts. Additionally we are able to structure your online multicurrency bank account without the need to visit.
Please see our website www.uae-eu.com for more information on our Company and products.
In order to download our UAE Corporate Offshore Brochure please visit http://www.uae-eu.com/pdf/rak_offshorebrochure.pdf
I look forward to hearing from you, should you wish to take the matter further please send me an email to adrian@uae-eu.com for a free no obligation initial consultancy.

Law says that you need to pay taxes where you have your residence for all your worldwide income. There are other way around to minimize those taxes and most of them depend on what are the plans for your money.
shoot me an e-mail for more information about this subject. lp@braxton-co.com

There are no consequences owing a foreign structure or offshore company, unless you are just setting up a "nominee" setting whith the sole purpose to defeat the taxes in your home country. There are so many elements here that cause you sleepless nights, what if my nominee shareholding gets exposed, what happen if my nominee runs away with my assets, what am I going to do with my profits, how do I get hold of my money, etc ect.
Well I would rather try to set up a structure that keeps you out of all that mess. Malta has a lot of options and some very good tax solutions. Using the refund scheme you could end up with 5% tax.
In any case what is best depends on what you actually do. Drop me an email. I am glad to help. info (at) eu-hub.com Eu-Hub Malta Limited A Hilton

The main points you have to consider are: 1. Austria has no CFC legislation. 2. If you move existing business from Austria into an offshore company you run into serious problems with the Austrian tax office. 3. If you choose the right offshore jurisdiction your Austrian holding company will be able to receive dividends and capital gains free of tax provided you avoid the pitfalls clearly set out in the tax laws. 4. If you obtain a tax ruling you are always on the safe side. 5. Some free information is available on www.schwank.com. Friedrich Schwank

The issue of 'ownership and control' is not confined to Austria but impacts on all residents of high tax jurisdictions and can be easily overcome but ensuring that appropriate ownership and control vehicles are put in place through a correctly thought out offshore company incorporation.
We are certainly able to assist using any one of several offshore jurisdictions and we can be contacted by email to enquiries@turnerlittle.com or via our web site at www.turnerlittle.com TURNER LITTLE www.turnerlittle.com
