Abstract
In this the first report to survey tax efficient offshore locations for
hosting, readers are guided through the current status and conditions in 33
jurisdictions globally, which stand out as among the foremost locations. Using
a unique scorecard system, offshore hosting markets are ranked in terms of
overall attractiveness across five sets of criteria: economic incentives
available, low tax administration, telecoms infrastructure, web hosting
facilities, and e-commerce regime.
The report draws attention to the growth in offshore hosting, which is
currently driven by higher taxes imposed in mature markets, competition in
foreign inward investment and e-commerce enabled by enhanced Internet backbone
and data centre infrastructure, and online gaming. This study suggests that
Tax Efficient Hosting will become increasingly important as a source of
competitive advantage to companies in the e-commerce sector.
Research for the report suggests that escalating competition and growth in
offshore hosting is occurring in emerging markets. Countries in Asia, the
Caribbean and Latin America - and more recently the Middle East and North
Africa - are seeking to position themselves as alternative low cost regimes to
their larger economic neighbours. The number of countries offering zero tax
rates in increasing.
Yet as more emerging markets enter the offshore and tax efficient market, they
are typically hampered by a fixed line monopoly and lack of legislative
framework. The report points to the inadequacy of installing a zero or low tax
regime, without the means to support other necessary criteria, and is no
longer a sufficient differentiator in its own right.
Identifying key growth drivers, the report analyses current and new
opportunities fuelling demand to host offshore. International competition to
attract businesses to host within low tax economies, offshore "tax-free"
jurisdictions and near-shore zones is intensifying. Businesses appear to be
adopting a mix and match strategy, dispersing different parts of their
operational requirements across a number of jurisdictions.
The report also details the critical differences between jurisdictions, and
provides easy-to-access summaries of the key relevant conditions prevailing in
each market.
Implications also exist for data centre operators in mature markets -
competition from offshore markets and the mix and match strategies adopted by
enterprises, may imply a requirement to extend their presence and portfolios
to include tax efficient locations. Some already do so, but a more global
approach may be required in future.
Above all, the report brings recognition to the sector for the first time by
aggregating the data available, and demonstrates that offshore hosting is a
significant growth market, and strategically important for operators and users
alike.
