GUIDES TO IFCs...

'At-a-glance' guides to over 35 international financial centres across the globe providing vital information for the practitioner wishing to 'move a client offshore'. Information provided for each guide includes general information such as the centre's expertise, tax and duty percentages, trust regulations, company incorporation details such as fees and timescale, director requirements, and mobility provisions.

There are also more in-depth articles from seven of the centres: Antigua & Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Cyprus, Marshall Islands, Seychelles and Labuan. Contributed by the Co-publishers to the book, these in-depth guides specifically deal with ways in which those centres are adapting to changes within the industry and remaining competitive in a most challenging environment. Recent legislation, initiatives, and infrastructure development are concentrated on, providing the most up-to-date information about each centre's strengths.

DIRECTORY OF 1100 CONTACTS...

In addition to the quality editorial the IFC Yearbook doubles as a comprehensive source of contacts to the financial and legal services and regulatory arms of the industry on a global scale - a directory of over 1100 contacts from IFC Services and the Official Bodies of the centres is included at the back of the book. All are updated yearly and include full contact names, numbers and addresses, including email.
