Panama
About Business in Panama
A classic Latin American offshore with territorial taxation (taxes are paid only on income generated in Panama). Corporate tax rate is 25%, but local companies are exempt from paying on foreign income. Numerous offshore structures and free zones (Colon, Panama City) with tax holidays are available. Well-developed banking sector with English-based legal system. Main drawbacks: tax residents are not required to pay tax but must maintain records, and tightening international standards require substance.
