CFC Rules in Practice
Controlled Foreign Company rules by which a home country attributes an offshore company's income to its resident controllers — the single most important concept in lawful offshore planning. In live engagements this shows up at three moments: when the jurisdiction is chosen, when the bank's compliance team reviews the file, and when annual obligations fall due. Getting it right at moment one makes moments two and three routine.
