CIL Offshore Investment Guide

The CIL Offshore Investment Guide is an easy-to-use collection of tools for finance, investment, law and tax professionals and entrepreneurs who need essential data on offshore finance, incorporation and tax planning. The Guide not only integrates a decade of expertise and extensive case studies in offshore investment, but also offers a "live help" feature that can put you directly in touch with our team of expert offshore consultants. In addition, the guide is regularly updated with brand new content, bringing the latest industry knowledge directly to you.

The Guide includes four parts:

PART A. Offshore Jurisdiction Map

Find the right jurisdiction for you - instantly. Included are introductions to many popular and more obscure offshore finance destinations, including Caribbean jurisdictions such as Bermuda, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Anguilla, Barbados, Panama, and the Bahamas; Asia-Pacific havens like Hong Kong, Singapore, Brunei, Labuan, Seychelles, Mauritius, New Zealand, and the Cook and Marshall Islands; and European tax-neutral destinations such as the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, Guernsey, Jersey, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar, Switzerland, Netherlands, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Ireland. Also included are major low-tax US states, such as Delaware, Nevada and Oregon, to help you in tax planning for your American ventures.

Introductions to each jurisdiction include:
- General Information: geography, history, politics and economic background
- Legal and Tax: an overview of tax planning advantages and structures
- TIEA/DTT: A list of signed tax information exchange agreements (TIEAs) and double taxation treaties (DTTs)
- Cost and Time: Estimated price and time-to-incorporation schedule through CIL’s consulting service, which makes offshore incorporation a breeze
- Summary Table: a listing of the main characteristics of each jurisdiction
- Postal Services: Postal services at a glance
The iPad version includes a Google-powered world map, conveniently tagging all our jurisdictions.

PART B. CIL OffshoreWiki

As a bonus, the iPad version features the "30 Must-Know Terms for Today’s Offshore Finance in Greater China" page, which provides a mini-tutorial for anyone who wants to rapidly understand finance in greater China and clarify many commonly-used but confusing words and acronyms.

PART C. Case Studies

Learn from our experience. CIL continually publishes case studies to share with users, including both successes and failures in offshore investment, which are classified as overseas investment; tax planning issues and transfer-pricing. Also featured is a detailed offshore structure and analysis chart.

The iPad version also comes with a mini offshore investment planning tool.
