- Incor Alliance provides comparative analysis of foreign jurisdictions using the following criteria (including, but not limited to):
- image status of the jurisdiction;
- incorporation cost and cost of the annual maintenance of the companies;
- corporate governance peculiarities;
- extent of ownership confidentiality;
- tax regime issues;
- availability of agreements on double taxation elimination;
- the legal regime of investment protection;
- coordination practice between the Russian state supervising authorities and authorities of a foreign jurisdiction;
- company's operational peculiarities: the requirement for an audit; dividends payment regime stipulated by legislation; particularities of making shareholders agreement in the specific jurisdiction.
Subject to the client’s preferences, the list of criteria for comparison can be unlimited.
The comparative analysis of jurisdictions is extensively used in defining the jurisdiction for the holding parent company; in choosing the certain transaction model for acquisition or sale of the assets; for foreign trade activities; purchase of real estate abroad; and for making shareholders agreements for a joint business.
