Analysis of the Existing Database

The first stage in the tax planning process is to analyse the different items of
tax involved in the project and to compute as accurately as possible the likely
total tax burden.
It is only by considering each of the tax elements both separately and as a whole
that it is possible to formulate an efficient tax plan.
It may also be necessary to take into account the likely gross return of the project
and the non-tax expenditure involved.
Caveat: Where there is relatively little money in issue, care should be taken not
to incur expenditure in connection with the preparation and implementation of an
offshore tax plan that is out of proportion to the possible savings.
