Hey,


Having an offshore business is a great way of tax avoidance but what about invoices?


When you register a Seychelles IBC they send you the address of the company and a company number. The don't send you a TAX ID or something like that (as far as I know).


So what would be the best way to ask for invoices if you don't have a TAX ID?


For example, when I go to the gas station, they ask me for my local TAX ID which has a unique format (B66666666). I am not sure how they can give me a correct invoice having a company in Seychelles.


How are you getting these invoices from places different than normal companies?


Thanks
 
Very simple, they can just put on the Seychelles company number if they require a tax ID, usually if you do cross boarder transactions you don't need more than the entire address of the company in the Seychelles and if they insist they can put on the company number just to have something to show the local tax office should it be necessary.

Glad to be of help to you :)
 
You can handle all of it like you want, there is no one who tell you what you have to do and how you have to do it. If you want to send an invoice on behalf of the company to someone else that has to pay it, do so! If someone is asking you for a tax payer ID give them the company registration number you find on your certificate! It's pretty simple and straight forward. All you have learned that is by law mandatory for a local company for instant in Europe you can forget about when we speak offshore companies!

I agree. Actually people are used to that there are a lot of rules and regulations on how to generate an invoice for an customer. That's not applicable for offshore companies. You can do exact as you like.

I agree, that's not very difficult to sort out, you can use any invoicing software to generate the invoice so it looks professional and apply to tax regulations.

You have any suggestions? I heard about nbill.co.uk which seems to be working great for people!

How come you would ask for Invoices and not just a direct payment to your bank account?
Yeah, most think the way of an offshore company the same as they are used to with their local company. You have a total different set of rules to play with when you operate within the frames of an offshore company. No invoice will be required unless your customer is asking for it.
