Brass plate company

See also: Corporate tax haven

A brass plate company, or brass plate trust, is a legally constituted company lacking meaningful connection with the location of incorporation. Brass plate refers to the only tangible existence of an organization in its jurisdiction of incorporation being a nameplate attached to the wall outside its registered office. The registered office is often the same office and address of the local professional service firm(s) or corporate service provider(s) (CSPs), (e.g. legal, accounting or secretarial) who act as local support to the company. Brass plate structures are associated with tax havens, corporate tax havens, and offshore financial centres.
