What is it?

Investing offshore, as the name implies means taking your money outside the borders of your own country and investing it in overseas markets.

Benefits

The main reason for wanting to do this is to spread the risk of your investment over more than one economy.
Besides, if you're living and working overseas, investing offshore may save you tax. All returns on offshore investments are currently paid without the deduction of tax.

You may also be able to reduce your tax liability in your home country by transferring savings and investments to an offshore bank. In addition to the tax savings, offshore banking offers confidentiality, security and greater global access and convenience.

Who can benefit from offshore investing?

Anyone living and working overseas for at least one full tax year may be able to save tax by investing offshore.

So, if I have to pay taxes, what is the advantage of investing offshore?
There are many other reasons to invest offshore, over and above the tax benefits.

Besides providing a legitimate way to minimise your tax liability, other important reasons to consider investing and banking offshore include asset protection, estate planning, confidentiality, and potentially better returns.

Re: Offshore Investment

International or offshore investments are a good way of ensuring that you really haven't put all of your eggs into one basket. While some spots may prove to be good high return investments they are often quite risky. As most are aware it's best to spread the load for long term benefits.
