Offshore areas as a means of saving and augmenting capital

The word "offshore" is interpreted literally.

In international practice, the definition "offshore" is used to characterise financial centres which carry out financial and credit operations jointly with foreign entrepreneurs on terms that are preferential for the entrepreneurs. In a broader sense, " offshore areas " means countries or their territories where the government grants considerable taxation privileges to certain companies owned by foreigners. In such areas, which are called offshore, accounting and audit requirements are decreased or absent and trade and customs limits are entirely or partially removed.

What are the advantages of offshore areas?

For countries where offshore areas are located, they are an excellent means of attracting foreign capital and developing their own industrial and social infrastructure.

For foreign entrepreneurs using offshore areas it is a method:

1) to save capital since funds are on account at reliable banks where payment for banking services is not high;

2) to effectively accrue capital. This is facilitated by the alleviation of taxes, as well as by the extent of a free capital flow. For example, in many offshore areas, currency restrictions or currency controls are practically absent. Also, an additional advantage (in the entrepreneurs' opinion) is the presence of anonymity for businesses using offshore areas and confidentiality of information about those businesses (hereafter - offshore companies). In other words, the real owners of an offshore company may remain unknown by registering the company through trust companies using documents where they indicate the last names of nominal shareholders and people responsible for performing corporate duties and instructions.

POLITICAL PARTIES.

The main parties in the UK are the Conservative party (right wing), the Labour party (left wing) and the Liberal Democrats (centre).The Conservative party goes back to the Tories, or Royalists, who originated in King Charles1 reign (1660-1685). The Tories were the party that supported Church and King; the other main party at the time were Whigs, who were a group eager for political reform. The Tory party gave way to its successor, the Conservative party, in around 1830.

The Conservative party believes in free enterprise and the importance of a capitalist economy, with private ownership preferred to state control.

In 1899 the Trade Union Congress summoned a Special conference of trade unions and social bodies to make plans to present labour in Parliament. The proposal for such a meeting had come from Thomas Steels, a member of the Independent Labour Party which had been formed in 1893. The conference met in February 1900 in London and has always been looked on as the foundation of the Labour Party. The Labour party believes that private ownership and enterprise should be allowed to flourish, but not at the expense of their traditional support of public services.

There has been a Liberal party in Great Britain since 1868 when the name was adopted by the Whig party. The Whig party was created after the revolution of 1688 and aimed to subordinate the power of the Crown to that of Parliament and the upper classes. In 1981 a second centre party was created by 24 Labour MPs. It was called the Social Democratic party, and soon formed an alliance with the Liberal party. They formed a single party which became the Liberal Democrats after the 1987 election.

The Liberal Democrats believe that the state should have some control over the economy, but that there should be individual ownership.

There are other political parties within the UK. The Green party offers economic and industrial policies that relate directly to the environment. The Scottish Nationalist Party wants independence for Scotland within the European Community. Plaid Cymru - the Welsh Nationalist Party is determined to preserve the Welsh language and culture as the foundation of a distinctive Welsh identity within the UK. Its radical wing has resorted to arson attempts as a mean of protest.

While many aspects of corporate responsibility are not laws in themselves, they may be part of, or become involved in, a legal process.
