Globally, some countries or regions offer an international tax-free system including Cayman Island, BVI etc.  These countries and regions are named as offshore countries or offshore jurisdictions.  Companies that are owned by foreign investors and do not have any operations within the offshore countries or jurisdictions are called offshore companies. Offshore companies are not required to pay any tax in these countries.  Shareholders can be anonymous. In addition to the attractive tax-free system, other benefits of using offshore companies are international tax planning, wealth management, wealth protection, asset protection, high privacy and confidentiality of company ownership and also less regulation requirements.  There are a number of advantages for setting up an offshore company and thus it is getting more and more popular in Hong Kong.
