Hello guys and thanks for this great forum full of nice information.

It is actually nice to see people who value their privacy, sadly we have become an endangered specy in today's society.

For the last days (from a newbie position) I have spent countless hours on the offshore matter in order to assess how & where to establish an offshore "IBC" to conduct my business. My head is now a bit overheating and would love some help.

Here is my setup :

- I am a resident in a EU country (Lithuania), which has CFC rules and I am looking to be 100% legit as CRS & FATCA looks like a real threat and I need to transit large amounts of funds.
- Country of incorporation does not affect my activity, but I need 0% corporate tax.
- I need a bank able to transit hundreds of thousand $ or € without being a pain or closing my account.

The trick part definitely seems to be the bank...

From what I read and the advise I got from pro, I have forgotten about avoiding the CFC rules of my residential country and about true anonymity, so basically I just want safe banking. I have also accepted to forget about anonymity and delaying indivudal taxes on the company profit (because of CFC rules).

I could think of the Seychelle IBC + cyprus bank account that was advertised here but I am being advised by a third party that I am dreaming if I hope a Cyprus bank to open an account for a Seychelles company. Is that still possible reasonnably easiliy using "Offshore corp" and would that bank be fine transitting large funds ? Once established, I would suffer if the bank decides to close the account later.

Would you think of any other country for that kind of banking ? Like Bahamas IBC + bahamas bank perhaps ?

I may have forgotten a few things so do not hesitate to ask question if it can help and thank you in advance.

You will have some troubles doing this in todays world. What you are looking for is to setup a company either with darks or in the UAE / Dubai where it is possible to transfer money to which don't will be reported.

That's the easy part i.e. Seychelles, Belize and even Cyprus non-resident corps don't pay any corporate tax.

As long as you can backup your business with invoices and a very good business presentation this is not a problem.

That's true and you really need to do your homework if you want this to be a last longing setup.

The guy that may have told you that is referring to personal interest in and not the real live. I agree, you can take your shitty Seychelles company up your a*s if you don't prepare a real business case. The time where you just could open a Seychelles company and open a Cyprus bank account is over. Today it requires a lot of work and a good business case to get the Cyprus bank's open an account, if you have this, they will open the account.

Alternatives to Cyprus banks would be EMI's.

Bahamas may have good banking but you have to travel there to open accounts.
 
Thank you very much for your answer.

Regarding the first part with CRS/FATCA, to sleep better at night I just prefer to stay legit and therefore go with the individual tax consequences.

I think of my business model as basic to understand, perhaps even for a banker, so I will get into contacting banks and see how it goes. I would like to leave Cyprus banking as "a last option" due to the financial storm I feel coming and what they did back in 2013 I think, I would not want them to steal again from the accounts they have. If you or anyone would have a suggestion of where to start my banking homework for safe banking, I would appreciate very much, if not thank you already for your input .

- I would not mind flying one time to open the bank account
- I am ready to adjust the country of incorporation based on the bank "acceptance list", I would just like to keep an incorporation country that does not require tax return filling and audit pain like Hong Kong.
 
Have you looked into Cyprus, there is still accounting but it can be done by the certified account that also setup your company. Charges are aprox 2500 - 3000 euro per year all in all and handfree.

This would be the most legit setup you can get.
