Waar Belize past in een structuur

Gebruikelijke rol · Low-cost company under a respected holding company

Belize fits one level down:an IBC (international business company) or trust underneath a more respected holding company, not at the visible top. The IBC pays no Belize tax on foreign income, but since the 2019 reforms it must get a tax number and file yearly returns, and where you live still decides your own tax. A Belize trust gives creditors only a short window to challenge it, though what happens still depends on the facts of each case.

Waar het van afhangtBanks treat Belize as the aggressive end of offshore and US-dollar transfers can be slow, so it only works with the bank account in a stronger country such as Mauritius, the UAE or Switzerland.

Een bankrekening openen

Caye International Bank, Belize Bank International and Heritage Bank serve international clients with fairly low minimums, but their links to foreign banks are limited and US-dollar transfers can be slow. Most clients pair a Belize company with banking in Mauritius, the UAE or Switzerland.

Zo werkt de belasting hier

IBCs with only foreign income pay no Belize income tax, capital gains tax or tax kept back on payments. Local income is taxed. Since the 2019 reforms, IBCs must get a tax number and file yearly returns even when no tax is due. Yearly fees are still low.

Echte aanwezigheid, en wie de eigenaren kan inzien

Substance rules apply to certain activities. The real owners are filed with the registered agent and reported privately to the authorities. Belize trusts benefit from laws that refuse to recognise foreign court judgments and give only a short window to challenge transfers as fraudulent.
