The attractiveness of offshore centers in the context of tax optimization

Abstract

The purpose of the article was to present arguments that offshore centers are an attractive place to do business. The author explains the concept and meaning of offshore centers in the modern world. Offshore centers are shown as an instrument for tax optimization. During the work, the author showed that establishing companies in offshore centers leads to a reduction of tax burdens that rest on the entrepreneur. The use of a company located in a privileged center is one of the methods of international tax optimization. This procedure involves transferring profits directly to a subsidiary with its headquarters in the offshore center. That is why it is so important to characterize tax reliefs as well as tax incentives and business incentives that occur in individual financial centers.
