There are various kinds of companies that can be constituted; however, the most popular is the offshore company. A Panamanian offshore company is exempt from taxes,from taxes if all transactions occur outside the country’s borders. For example, an entrepreneur who does business electronically , can offer his services and products in foreign countries; if the profits are received in the Panamanian offshore company, duly registered in Panama, these profits will not be subject to taxes in Panama.
The incorporation of a company in the Republic of Panama is a simple process, but ,legally, requires the assistance of a lawyer, also known as resident agent. A fully legal and operational corporation can be created within 5 business days or less, provided all required information has been received. Contact us for a list of all documents and fees required.
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 foundation 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 can keep assets in Panama and in other foreign jurisdictions. Many foreigners have foundations that own their residence and bank accounts in their home country and in Panama as well.
Usually, foundations can be created in less than five business days once all required documentation is received by us. Contact us for a list of all required documents and fees.
