V. Common Misconceptions and Precautions

• Myth 1:: "Offshore companies are not required to declare economic substance."
  → Unless it is a pure holding or unrelated activity, it must be declared and satisfy the substantive requirements.
• Myth 2:: "A dependent address will satisfy the materiality requirement."
  → Must have physical personnel, office space and matching operating expenses, otherwise it is considered a shell company.
• Myth 3:: "Economic substance declarations have nothing to do with CRS/FATCA."
  → ES certifies the substantive operation of the company and CRS/FATCA is responsible for the exchange of tax information, both of which are complementary and indispensable.
