Panama Corporation (Panama IBC)

Established under a tax regime that exempts earnings and profits generated internationally, the Panama Corporation has served as the ideal tool for mitigating tax liability.

Such tax free treatment leads to an offshore entity that does not subject its users to any tax on income, profit, estate, inheritance, CGT and dividends.

Panama Corporations have been used since 1927 and are regulated by the Panama Corporation Law. Once incorporated, a series of business ventures can be undertaken, to include:

  • Investments in market securities
  • Tax, estate and succession planning
  • Trade and commerce
  • Marketing
  • Setting up holding structures

Offshore bank accounts automatically become necessary for offshore operations, increasing capacity for international business and rendering a greater degree of privacy of Panama offshore companies.
