About the practice

Professionally means to the highest standard and in due time

MISTERO GROUP has been providing international tax planning, foreign and offshore company formation and cross-border banking services since 2012.

“Tax structuring is not an issue of increasing profits, but rather an issue of business existence.”

This sentence has been the foundation of our legal practice from the beginning, and time has made it more accurate rather than less. A structure that cannot survive examination is not a saving — it is a liability that has been postponed, and the postponement is usually shorter than anyone expects.

The international tax landscape has changed substantially over the past decade. Automatic Exchange of Information (CRS), beneficial ownership registers, economic substance requirements and minimum taxation rules have made arrangements that were once routine unworkable, and have made some of them actively dangerous.

We have adapted to it. The work we do now is less about finding the lowest rate and more about building structures that survive in a new reality — that a bank will serve, that a counterparty will work with, and that can be explained without difficulty to a tax authority three years later.

How we work

An individual approach

We use an individual approach to solve every problem. Two businesses that look identical on paper rarely need the same structure, because the people, the counterparties and the tolerance for administration are never the same.

Direct partners, not chains

We work with direct and reliable foreign agents. Where we involve a partner, we remain responsible for the outcome rather than passing the client on.

A legal basis only

Taxation arrangements are developed on an exclusively legal basis — the regulations in force and existing case law. We do not implement structures we would not be prepared to explain to a tax authority.

The honest answer first

If a plan will not work, or a bank will not accept a case, or a jurisdiction is the wrong one, we inform the client beforehand. It is a less comfortable conversation and a considerably cheaper one.
