Doing Offshore Business in the Panama 2005

Research and Markets: Doing Offshore Business in the Panama 2005
Friday June 3, 11:00 am ET

DUBLIN, Ireland, June 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c18351) has announced the addition of Offshoring Special Report: Doing Business in the Panama, 2005 to their offering.

From small beginnings early in the 20th century, the offshore sector has grown ever faster in response to high tax rates in the developed countries, until it is estimated now that more than half of the world's money is offshore. Offshore has no precise dictionary meaning: the word simply reflects the fact that most low tax jurisdictions are islands. Loosely, it is used to mean outside the control of the highly-taxed Western nations, although those nations could have controlled the growth of offshore jurisdictions (International Offshore Financial Centres = IOFCs) much more tightly if they had wanted to. It is an interesting question, why they didn't -- maybe a combination of individual self-interest and muddle? Our "Offshoring Special Report, 2005" provides in-depth business, legal, political and economic perception as well as attractiveness of this location as offshore tax haven.
