Business in the UK - the benefits of British jurisdiction
The UK is considered a tax haven because of the possibility of trade with former colonies, in which there is zero income tax. Regarding confidentiality, the register of companies is open to public, but privacy can be achieved for example by an appropriate corporate structure. The advantage is the agreement on the avoidance of double taxation between Great Britain and the Czech Republic concluded in 1992.
