Ready-Made Company. See Shelf Company.

Real Estate. Withholding and other taxes are frequently imposed on rental income deriving from the holding of real estate in a foreign country; similarly, capital gains taxes may be imposed on the profits flowing from the sale of property. However, in exceptional cases, the provisions of a tax treaty may be of considerable value in minimizing the total tax burden, e.g. the treaty between the Netherlands Antilles and the United States. Ownership of real estate by individuals may also result in liability to death duties and similar taxes in the country in which the real estate is situated, irrespective of the residence or domicile of the individual owner. For this reason it is common to hold foreign real estate through a tax haven or other company.

Register. The register of international business companies (IBCs) and exempt companies maintained by the Registrar of a tax haven.

Registered Agent. A registered agent is the person or entity designated in the articles of incorporation to receive service of process and other important notices from the state. A corporation must maintain a registered agent at all times or risk forfeiture of the corporate charter.

Registered Company. A company that is registered with the authorities of the country in which it is established. In most countries it is illegal to operate as a company without being registered.

Registered Office. The registered office is the place where the registered agent can be found. It may be the corporate office, or it may be the office of the corporation's attorney.

Registrar. The Registrar of Companies, a governmental body controlling the formation and renewal of companies created under their company act.

Resident Company. A company treated by the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated or in which it conducts commercial activities as resident for tax purposes or exchange control purposes or both.

Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1995. Proposed changes to the Internal Revenue Code affecting foreign trust reporting, among other changes.
