An offshore company is a legal entity incorporated in a jurisdiction outside the owner's country of residence. It operates under local laws, typically enjoying zero or low taxation on foreign income, high confidentiality, and simplified compliance requirements. These structures are used for international business, asset holding, and tax optimization when properly reported.
Yes, owning an offshore company is completely legal for legitimate business purposes. The distinction is between tax avoidance (legal use of tax regimes to minimize liability) and tax evasion (illegal concealment). Offshore structures are legal tools when properly registered and disclosed where required.
