Advantages of Delaware and Offshore Banking
What are the advantages of Delaware and Offshore Banking, if any?
- Offshore banks in general provide access to politically and economically stable jurisdictions. This may be an advantage for those resident in areas where there is a risk of expropriation or where there is corruption within the banking system, or bank officers may become liable to the influence of or pressure from criminal gangs.
- Some offshore banks may operate with a lower cost base and can provide higher interest rates than the home country.
- Offshore finance is one of the few industries that geographically remote island nations can competitively engage in.
- Interest is generally paid by offshore banks without the deduction of tax. This is an advantage to individuals who do not pay tax on worldwide income, or who do not pay tax until the tax return is agreed, or who feel that they can successfully evade tax by hiding the interest income (which, however, is not to be recommended).
- Some offshore banks offer offshore banking services that may not be available in one's country of residence. One such example is paperless bank statements.
- Offshore banks in some countries (by law) participate in mandated bank account deposit protection insurance systems. A US person using a bank in Australia, NZ, Canada (or any EU country) would get similar deposit protection as using a US bank.
- For several people a Delaware Corporation and Bank is a great choise, though.
