Reasons for Establishing a Company

Isle of Man companies benefit from a zero rate of tax on trading and investment income. They are also able to register for VAT and businesses in the Isle of Man are treated by the rest of the EU for VAT purposes as if they are in the UK.

Isle of Man companies can therefore be used for:-

• Asset holding and protection – Corporate ownership enables assets to be held permanently by a single legal person
• Yacht & Aircraft Registration – The Isle of Man has globally respected registries for Aircraft & Shipping. We can assist with the registration process as well as corporate ownership and management
• Intellectual Property Rights
• Inheritance planning – Using Corporate and/or Trust structures
• Holding investment portfolios and participations in other companies. Due to the zero rate of tax on such activities and the lack of withholding taxes on dividend income from such companies
• Trading within the EU. Due to the zero rate on trading income and the ability to quote an EU accepted VAT number. In such arrangements it is essential for the company to be resident, managed and controlled in the Isle of Man
• Tax planning and mitigation – Taxation is considered an expense by many businesses. The use of the most effective structures can enable savings in this expense to be made
• E commerce
• Business structuring/re-structuring – There are many advantages to establishing structures using low tax jurisdictions such as the Isle of Man.
• Consultancy and Employment Companies – advantages for experts in many fields to undertake a series of relatively short term employment contracts in a number of different countries.
