Why establish an offshore company in Panama

Strictly speaking, it should not properly be called a tax haven, as its tax regime applies equally to foreigners and locals. 70% of Panama’s GDP comes from financial and legal services.
 
The main features of this stable and globalised economy, of which you as an entrepreneur can benefit, are:
 
  • No taxation on income from outside Panama
  • Solid financial and legal facilities
  • Conservative banking with high reserve ratios (unlike Europe)
  • Great price performance ratio
