Vanuatu
Among offshore tax havens, Vanuatu ranks among those with the most relaxed legal framework, offering great confidentiality just like those in the Caribbean.
A Vanuatu company is not subject to corporate income taxes, capital gains taxes and restrictions on employment policies, provided it does not conduct business locally in Vanuatu.
There are no exchange controls in Vanuatu.
A Vanuatu company is neither required to hold annual general meeting nor to file annual returns.
A Vanuatu company is allowed to keep a set of their accounts that reflect their financial standing, as well as records, minutes or register anywhere in the world.
Details of Shareholders, Directors and Beneficial owners are not part of public record.
The only publicly available information of the company are its Constitution (Memorandum and Articles of Association), registered office address, registered agent name, and any charges against its assets.
With both tax free status and the confidential provisions embodied in the legislation, incorporating in Vanuatu is attractive to businessmen from around the world.
