Belizean offshore area implies the creation of companies in the organizational and legal form of IBC.

After the registration of the company in Belize, the client should be assured of a high level of confidentiality. The State has no public register of entrepreneurs, and all the data about the directors and founders are not available to the general public.

When registering an offshore company in Belize, it is important to take into account its scope of activities because legal, transport, banking, insurance and other fields require further relevant licenses and registration.

The tax rate for international commercial companies – 1.75%-25%
US$1.5 million and more – 1.75% taxable income
Less than US$1.5 million – 3% taxable income
Resident companies – 25% of the company’s financial turnover.
The annual fee of offshore companies in Belize depends on the size of the previously announced share capital, and the rates are fixed with the following values:

The capital range from €10,000 to €50,000, the fixed fee to the state is US$100 per year.
The capital range from €50,000 and more, the fixed fee to the state is US$1000 per year.
In a case, where the company issues shares without par value, it is mandated to transfer $350 annually to the local state treasury.
Payment should take place prior to January 31st of the year following the billing period. Otherwise, the company will be blacklisted.

IBCs incorporated on or before 16th October 2017 remain tax exempt up to 30th June 2021 and can still obtain a Tax Exemption Certificate up to 30th June 2021. The IBCs are therefore only liable to taxes in Belize if they are resident in Belize.

Double taxation treaty signed with two countries and Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEA).

Non-resident company registered in the territory of the state have no right to own a real estate, buy land and carry out transactions with residents of the state.

Non-residents do not need to undergo a detailed audit or submit reports, although the country’s legislation requires the maintenance of accounting records to enable reflection of offshore financial conditions in Belize upon request.

Belizean offshore areas require the establishment of businesses with the declared charter capital. The standard level is $50,000. The contribution may be done using any currency.
