• Undertaking independent 3rd party periodic reviews of existing offshore structures to ensure that there has not been significant mandate drift since tax/legal advice was last obtained. Experience tells RAPTOR that advice obtained unless on an ongoing basis, will no longer be applicable due to the significant changes to tax legislation, globally, and in particular in the UK over the last 10 years…. it has become apparent that numerous fiduciary companies do not have the ability or the knowledge to prevent significant damage to their portfolio of clients.  As a consequence, they cause reputational damage to jurisdictions as a result of diminishing tax awareness and commercial realism.
