Netcetera, Europe's leading Web Host, is attending Internet World 2007, the UK's largest B2B Internet event taking place at Earls Court from 01 to 03 May 2007. The company, the only offshore web host taking part, will showcase the tax efficiencies of hosting any E-Business venture in the Isle of Man, with a casino theme, on stand No. W502.

"Companies worldwide who trade online could be saving up to 47.5 per cent total tax on profits by hosting on the Isle of Man and the benefits to shareholders could be significantly more," said Peter Skelton, managing director, Netcetera Limited. "At Internet World 2007, our aim is to ensure Internet-based companies have the crucial information and tools they need to realise the benefits of hosting offshore."

To coincide with the event, the Isle of Man Government is holding a seminar on Tax Efficient Hosting as part of the Internet World Conference at 11.00, 01 May 2007 in the eCommerce & Managed Services Theatre at Earls Court. The session will be an exploration of the key considerations in choosing the best location for an ebusiness including taxation, regulation, telecommunications, business infrastructure and government policy. It will also include a discussion of the UK's new Remote Gaming Duty and how it will impact the online gambling and egaming industries.

Speaking at the seminar is Tim Craine, Director of E-Business for the Isle of Man Government. He said, "Moving your business offshore can be complicated and it's important that you seek expert advice as early as possible. The Isle of Man is able to offer a unique combination of zero corporate tax and world class data hosting facilities, together with a range of other business friendly benefits."
