What is 'offshore' business?
It is simply any business conducted outside of your home country.
For you, this means that the entire rest of the world is doing business
'offshore' ! What does the rest of the world know that you
don't?
As we usher in the 21st century we find ourselves in a global economy.
Financial markets, trading partners and even subsidiaries of the
same parent company find themselves inextricably linked to partners,
conditions, clients and vendors from foreign lands. The possibilities
that the internet and international e-commerce provide are breaking
down the traditional national, geo-political borders that historically
have been a hindrance to international business.
If you follow the financial markets, you know how the news in one
market affects another by no later than the next day. The traditional
archaic economic policies that harbor isolationism and foster a
narrow nationalistic economic view are today's white elephant which
leaves its adherents in the economic dust of those progressives
who embrace the global economy and use it to their advantage.
As the brightest and the best entrepreneurs, companies and institutions
find themselves in a global posture, taking advantage of the most
competitive economic and regulatory climates that are available,
governments find themselves jockeying for position with the realization
that they too, need to streamline and be competitive in their regulatory
and taxation schemes to prevent capital flight and the brain drain
that goes with it. People are learning to vote with their feet and
their pocket books!
When governments are not competitive, they lose their tax base,
and thus their power. Not a thought to relish for a pencil pushing
bureaucrat!
We see the obvious knee jerk reaction to this stark reality in the
recent attempts by the 37 nation- OECD to attack more competitive
jurisdictions under the guise of 'unfair tax competition'; Which
has failed miserably. The governments of the OECD, rather than conforming
to the immutable laws of economics, have rather attempted to bully
and coerce, under threats and intimidation, the rest of the more
competitive world to be less competitive in order to preserve their
own bloated and archaic budgets and economic policies. This thinking
is the equivalent to either defying the laws of gravity or perpetrating
outright extortion and racketeering. Neither one holds a candle
in the hurricane of honest reality.
The second prong of this attack on competitive economic policies
has to do with the manipulation of the minds of the public. The
complicit media has done a wonderful job equating anything 'offshore'
with everything 'criminal'.
While on one hand they exhort the successes of global socialism
through; the NAFTA & GATT treaties, the new European Union and
other broad economic unions that are breaking down the barriers
to free trade, on the other hand, and in the same breath, they tell
you that if you are foolish enough as an individual to try to take
advantage of the new opportunities created by these political agreements,
you will probably go to jail! Does this make sense?
Let's get real.
This occurs very simply with the joint effort of the local Justice
Dept., or other related enforcement agency, building a case against
a high profile individual or organization and then dishing it off
to the media for a well orchestrated PR feeding frenzy. Done with
enough regularity and 'sleight of word' the assumption to the untrained
eye is that 'offshore' is 'trouble'. And those who might have otherwise
considered freeing themselves from the bounds of their national
economic borders in search of prosperity and opportunity, now are
content (due to falsely created fear) to remain within the confines
of the 'brick yard' where their service (labor & assets) and
'tribute' (taxation) remain closely monitored and controlled by
those who intend to capture it.
So, if we go along with the line of the status quo, we are left
to presume that international business is a good thing, but only
for the multi-national corporations who contribute greatly to the
political campaigns of today. Equal protection of the law apparently
does not apply here to afford the average individual the same opportunities.
Again, this 'status-quo' position does not hold water under any
form of scrutiny.
Yes, there are scamsters and fraudsters in the offshore world...just
like there are in your own back yard.
Yes, you can get into trouble with your local taxing authorities
if you blindly follow ill advice or remain ignorant of, or default
on your legal responsibilities fitting to your tax class status
and financial activity.
And Yes, you can navigate these issues simply and easily with the
proper guidance and support. This navigational plan WILL lead you
to increased freedom, prosperity, privacy, security and success!
It's a simple matter: pay the taxes you owe, and position
yourself so that the tax burden is manageable and is no more than
the law requires.
This is why the Venture Resource Group was created: to be the compass
and the crew to help you steer your ship to the warm tranquil waters
of peace and prosperity in the world of global opportunity.
Thomas Jefferson once said, "a merchant has no country".
From one of America's ultimate patriots, the implication is: that
it is not unpatriotic to conduct international business. To the
contrary, this is what 'true merchants' do. The more governments
try to violate personal privacy and conduct themselves in ways that
promote a lack of faith in government, the more that wealth will
seek the sanctuary of those jurisdictions which honor the time tested
values of privacy and security, where opportunity thrives!!
The choice is yours; live a life of limited opportunity under the
fallacious presumptions offered by the 'status-quo', or...
... Open yourself up to the possibilities and 'make the world your
oyster'!
