Summary & Features

Panama is probably one of the world's most liberal country when it comes to taxing foreign and offshore entrepreneurs. The most important of its numerous advantages are:

No income tax, no corporate tax, no sales tax, no value added tax, etc...

Panama's official currency is the US dollar - thus, no risk involving exotic inflationary central American "money" issued by corrupt governments;

Panama's corporation laws are modelled after the Delaware Corporation Law, which is among the most liberal in the world.

No citizenship or residency requirements or restrictions with respect to owners, directors and officers as with most other tax havens.

Stockholders' and directors' meetings may be held anywhere in the world.

Capital shares may be issued in a nominative form, or to "bearer" - the ideal protection of the corporation owner's identity and total privacy.

Funds and accumulated offshore profits can be deposited or invested in any country in the world without becoming subject to taxation in Panama.
