Why is Panama the preferred offshore jurisdiction?

Starting and running your own offshore business or offshore project isn’t easy. You may need specialist advice, such as help with legal and taxation issues or managing your finances. And you might want to talk about your ideas and problems with someone who understands the challenges you face.

When you come to the point where you have decided to incorporate a new offshore company, you shall next decide under which offshore jurisdiction you will want to operate your own offshore business. There are plenty of offshore jurisdictions and plenty of advices on Internet and in books covering the offshore subjects.

There are many things to consider in choosing the right offshore jurisdiction. For some residents of high taxation countries, the choice of the offshore jurisdiction can be critically important.

Further, there is no general solution for everyone in choosing the offshore jurisdiction. But for many, we want to present some of advantages and benefits in choosing Panama as offshore jurisdiction or domicile for your investment or offshore business.

Advantages of Panama as Offshore Jurisdiction

Panama is a free country. It is independent and sovereign state. Those facts make a big difference when your local taxation office begins to investigate the business you are running.

Panama has no information exchange agreements with other countries. That means that an official letter from the tax office in your country to any of Panamanian banks or government agencies, will fail to give the result. In most of cases, such a letter will remain unanswered. That is what is meant with sovereign country. Panama is independent and unlimited by any other country, it has its own government and is not subject to another power.

Stability of an Offshore Jurisdiction

What do we mean with stability as offshore jurisdiction?

By stability, we want to stress the point of the quality or attribute of being firm and steadfast offshore jurisdiction in regards to its own corporate and banking laws.

What is that?

Let us take an example of a company incorporated in the USA or anywhere in the EU. Such a company DOES enjoin the great stability in regard to its own corporate laws. Any attorney, lawyer, government agency or creditor, must first follow the local corporate laws in order to sue the corporation or get any informations in regards to such a local company. Local government of the USA or almost anywhere in the Europe and in many other countries, will support and protect the local company by its own corporate or company laws. It will not allow the piercing of the corporate veil, nor it will recognize any evidence against the corporation brought in an illegal manner.

Such is the Republic of Panama in regards to its company and business entities laws. But Panama laws give superior protection in comparison with USA or EU countries.

Small offshore jurisdictions, advertising and promoting their confidentiality or their far away positions, cannot really and practically stand the pressure of high taxation countries. Such small jurisdictions have been created by wealthy and rich people and as soon as you have low profile you will have a nice strong protection from a small offshore jurisdiction. But if it comes to some real liability, what can happen to any company in the world, small and instable offshore jurisdiction will not practically protect you as owner and such small offshore jurisdiction might even break its own laws of condfidentiality and corporate matters.

Panama is a big and strong and stable offshore jurisdiction. When it comes to corporate liabilities, Panamanian corporate laws will stand with you and offer you practical solution and protection. Such protection will not be just promoted protection or advertised protection but it will be real and practical.

Oppositely, the small offshore jurisdiction will not be able to help you when it comes to real corporate liabilities. In order to save their “tax haven”, small offshore jurisdiction will reveal the beneficiary behind the corporation to anyone asking for it. Attorney or lawyer working for such small offshore jurisdiction, might even try to sue you in your own home country. We do not call that piercing the corporate veil. We call that barbarity.

By using your Panamanian company and principles of Thetaworld™ Knowledge, you will gain the simple and stable tool for offshore investment and business which will stand pressure in the long run.

The beneficial owner must not be registered with any government authorities, and nominee directors can be appointed who would act as managers for your offshore corporation. There will be no need to come personally to Panama in order to form an offshore company.

Panama corporation offers many advantages in comparison with other jurisdiction in terms of:

• the Panama Corporation Law;
• independency of the Republic of Panama,
• strictest secrecy and confidentiality laws,
• impossibility of peircing the corporate veil,
• full control by Shareholders over the company matters.

Panama Company for US or EU Citizen

Panama company can be especially useful vehicle for US citizens wishing to achieve:

• great deal of legal tax savings, and not tax evasion,
• confidentiality by doing business,
• legal tax postponement until the expatriation or change of residence,
• investment opportunities not directly available to US based entities or persons,
• protection against creditors,
• protection against all kinds of law suits,
• powerfull offshore asset protection.

Such strategies, explained on our pages, are part of our Thetaworld™ Knowledge. We do not recommend US citizens to incorporate offshore while doing tax evasion. The offshore structure can be used in legal way, while disclosing all the details of the structure to the IRS or your local tax office. We do not want to let anyone remain open to an attack by the government, state or IRS or other tax office. Even if one’s name is not disclosed in the public registry, that fact will weaken one’s defense. by employing legal structure, disclosable and reportable structure, an US citizen will have nothing to hide and will have his assets fully protected, with high interest rates and with great deal of tax deferral, confidentiality, legal tax savings and asset protection.

Panama company can be of great advantage for EU citizens as well wishing to achieve legal tax savings and deferment of income tax at the country of residence. Such offshore structure is customized to the beneficiary, depending of his country of residence and his current tax and financial status.

There is no general rule for anyone on how to structure business affairs in order to have them completely legal.

The real advantage lies in the power and ability to control the business and having economic income without having taxable income, similarly to politicians with power without ownership which control other people’s assets.
