Nominee Structures

We are proud to offer one of the most exciting Tax Planning Opportunities available. It offers tax efficiency, customised structures and is highly credible. Several uses for this structure would be companies trading physical goods, asset holding companies and the supply of services and/or a consultancy.

A nominee structure works as follows:-

A nominee company is formed in the United Kingdom and acts on behalf of an offshore company. The offshore company is the principal in all transactions with the nominee company acting much like an agent for the offshore company. The onshore nominee company handles all the advertising, marketing and promotion. All transactions are invoiced by the nominee company in its own name and the monies received by the nominee company pass straight to the offshore company. Your customers will believe that they are dealing with an onshore company and there is no need to disclose the relationship between the nominee company and the offshore principal.

The nominee company receives its only income from a fee charged for providing its services. The amount of the fee paid by the offshore company should be approximately between 5% and 15% of the gross turnover. Expenses of the nominee company are deducted from this amount and tax will be paid in the UK on the resulting profit. The UK tax authorities will see a resident company with a resident bank account which is paying taxes.

Important Considerations


  • Both companies, both offshore and onshore may not trade in their own countries of incorporation.
  • Any assets should be held/owned by the offshore company.
  • With the sale of physical goods, ownership will be with the offshore company and sold on its behalf by the nominee company. Title always remains with the offshore company.
  • Money is received into an offshore bank account, in the name of the offshore company and is controlled by the directors of the offshore company.
  • A second bank account, usually offshore, is opened to receive the fee income of the nominee company and to handle payment of expenses.
  • Contracts with the nominee company must be signed outside its country of incorporation.
  • Non-resident individuals and corporations only pay UK tax on their source income and the offshore principal is tax exempt.
  • The onshore nominee company will need to have audited accounts prepared annually by an independent auditor. We can help with this.
