Taxation Benefits – The offshore jurisdiction should be tax exempt in that offshore gained revenue is not taxed by the nation where the Offshore Companies corporation is residing. Other countries including Panama meets this test. Panama also has no capital gains tax for you stock market investors and there is no heritage or probate taxation. Panama passes this test.
Accounting for Weather – Some of these offshore jurisdictions are based on islands and are exposed to electricity outages from hurricanes. Likewise one must look for risk from volcanoes, tsunamis and temblors. Just what you don’t need is a power outage from a storm preventing you from getting your money out when you require it. The cause the Panama Canal was developed where it is, is because there is no hazard from typhoons, tsunamis, volcanoes and temblors. Again, Panama fulfills this prerequisite.
Groundwork – one should look at the power generators, telephone organization and internet when assessing an offshore jurisdiction. You don’t wish to have to wait days or weeks to be able to use your online banking or to be able to contact to your bank on the phone. Panama was fundamentally constructed by the Americans who just left it in 2000. It has American style telephones, electricity, roads, etc. The cell phones and internet in Panama are as good as Canada or USA. Panama satisfies the test once again.
EU Associations – Panama has no ties that could erode seclusion, once again satisfying the test. No reporting of revenue for EU residents or accumulating of withholding taxes. Taxation identification numbers from your home nation are not required to open a Panama bank account, own a company, purchase real estate, etc. Panama again meets this prerequisite.
