Offshore trusts and corporations

Whether you are resident or non-resident in the UK, if you are non "domiciled" an offshore trust or corporation could be a good way of protecting your finances from UK taxation.

Our Wealth Management specialists make up one of the leading teams across London and the South West.

Offshore trusts and corporations call for a special expertise that spans several legal disciplines. We work, together with our commercial, charity, tax and trusts teams, as well as property and disputes, to respond to the unique needs you have. We have a genuine, in-depth understanding not just of the law, but also how it relates to every area of your offshore endeavours.

We can advise on:

  • The creation of excluded property trusts for non domiciled persons
  • Purchasing UK property through an offshore corporation to minimize exposure to UK Inheritance tax
  • The repatriation/break up of existing offshore trusts for non domiciled persons who are resident in the UK and for whom the tax advantages may have been lost
  • Liaising with lawyers and institutions in offshore jurisdictions to ensure that the correct and most appropriate structure is put in place
  • Matters of English Law and taxation that relate to offshore trustees
  • Stamp Duty land Tax mitigation on a proposed transfer of UK property into an offshore structure
