Frequently asked questions
Is this tax avoidance?
No — it is lawful, compliant planning: choosing the right structure within the rules, with full substance.
Do you implement, or only advise?
Both — we design the structure and then incorporate, bank and file to put it in place.
Can you file for me every year?
Yes. Ongoing filings can be handled as a fixed annual compliance engagement, with a calendar so deadlines are never a surprise.
What if a filing was missed?
Tell us as early as possible. We review the position, explain the options and, where appropriate, help bring the entity back into good standing.
