There are various kinds of companies that can be constituted; however, the most popular is the offshore company. A Panamanian offshore company is exempted from taxes, if all transactions occurs outside the country’s borders. For example, an entrepreneur who does business electronically, can offer his services and products in foreign countries, but he receives the profits in the Panamanian offshore company duly registered in Panama, will not pay taxes in Panama on the profits from these.

A Panamanian Private Interest Foundation is a single legal structure that is similar in design, to that of a self-managed administrated trust, however, the Panamanian Private Interest foundations incorporates the benefits of a will, a trust and a partnership into a single entity. Panamanian Foundations are also anonymous, which helps deter the possibility that creditors identify their holdings. Under Panamanian law, Private Interest Foundations are exempt from litigation and are able to keep assets in Panama and in other foreign jurisdictions. Many foreigners have foundations that owns their residence and bank accounts in their home country and in Panama as well.
