This conference is dedicated to finance & taxation professionals dealing with clients who are interested in establishing legitimate and tax efficient structures.

 

Smart Tax Planning points to the fact that one could be rather surprised to find tax efficient solutions in many States who certainly are not viewed as “Offshore Centres”. Therefore, rather than comparing and contrasting «offshore» and «onshore» legislations, this Conference will focus on identifying the appropriate and most relevant jurisdictions and analyzing optimal and some less known solutions in smart tax planning.

 

The purpose of this Conference is to show in a most practical manner that “offshore” solutions (defined as the pursuit of a tax or financial gain) are not limited to so called tax heavens.

 

The Conference will first review the concept of Tax Planning in terms of:

• Its relevance
• Its importance and necessity
• Double Taxation Agreements
• European Directives

The Conference will then cover the following subjects:

• Residency
• Trading Companies
• Yachts and Aircraft Registration
• Holding structures
• Investment Funds
• Trademarks, Royalties, Patents
