  • Offshore income may not be subject to tax. Depending where you live, income on an offshore bank account or investments may not be subject to tax in your country of residence, if that money is not remitted into your country of residence
  • No inheritance tax, capital gains tax or death duties. Jurisdictions such as the Isle of Man and Jersey, Channel Islands have no inheritance, capital gains taxes or death duties (probate may be required in certain circumstances)
