Trustmoore — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 18:35:51 +0000

Trustmoore (Curaçao) N.V. can also arrange for the set up and/or management of a Panama Private Interest Foundation (Panama Foundation). The big advantage of creating a Panama Foundation is that there are no tax treaties; therefore no exchange of information whatsoever will take place, guaranteeing your privacy and protection of your assets. Furthermore, a Panama Foundation has no owner. Since a Panama Foundation can be shareholder of another company, you can in fact own a profitable company but cannot be called owner therefore avoiding being personally taxed. If desired, you can distribute payments to family members or other people by expressing these wishes to the foundation.

Incorporation of a company can be arranged in a matter of days. After incorporation, a company will be registered with the chamber of commerce and trade of Curacao.
The e-zone is of specific importance to internationally operating companies whose activities are aimed at trading goods or performing services for international customers, which can be performed with or for electronic communication. A company that has a lot of experience with establishing e-zone companies is Trustmoore (Curacao) N.V.
