Corporate
Why Panama
The Panamanian corporation (Sociedad Anónima, or S.A.) is one of the most flexible and tax-efficient corporate structures in the world. With no tax on foreign income, bearer or registered shares, and strong privacy protections, Panama S.A.s are used globally for holding assets, operating businesses, and structuring investments.
Tax Advantages
Panama operates a strict territorial tax system. Income generated outside Panama is not subject to corporate income tax, making the S.A. ideal for international business, e-commerce, consulting, and holding companies. No withholding tax on dividends paid to non-residents.
Privacy & Asset Protection
Panamanian law permits nominee directors and officers, and share ownership is not publicly registered. This provides a high degree of privacy and insulation from frivolous claims. When combined with a Private Interest Foundation, asset protection is further enhanced.
