HIDDEN ASSETS
Using a debit or credit from a foreign bank account is one way individuals and businesses can hide assets.
This method is so common that some governments, including the IRS and UK Tax Offices have established special programs to detect individual or business entities that maintain undeclared foreign accounts. Other personal asset strategies involve concealing assets by commingling them with business or other assets. This is often called a ‘zebra’ strategy. In addition, there are also companies that provide so-called Asset Protection Services that help setup special corporate entities to hide assets, using proxy owners, directors and shareholders.
These are the top 10 greatest asset/tax abuse risk countries:
- British Virgin Islands (British Overseas Territory)
- Cayman Islands (British Overseas Territory)
- Bermuda (British Overseas Territory)
- Netherlands
- Switzerland
- Luxembourg
- Hong Kong
- Jersey (British Crown Dependency)
In addition, some of the most common forms of hidden assets include avoiding reporting income through tax returns or financial statements, setting up a secret bank account, for example through the use of a child’s social security number, or requesting that wages, bonuses or other compensation be deferred until after any litigation.
Do You Have a Legal Judgement Against a Person or Company?
Unfortunately it is common to obtain a legal judgement, but never collect for many reasons. The person or company cannot be found, they claim to have no assets, claim to be hospitalized, transferred asset ownership and others. We recommend that you hire an experienced Philippines private investigator who will conduct the proper searches to locate assets before you spend money on costly legal action. In addition, the Philippines asset search investigation fees can usually be added in to the judgment.
