Benefits of choosing Saint Kitts and Nevis offshore company 

Tax efficiency 

• A major advantage of registering an offshore company in Saint Kitts and Nevis is its favorable tax law. Offshore companies are not subject to corporate income tax on worldwide profits if the profits are generated outside of Saint Kitts and Nevis. In addition, there are no taxes on capital gains, inheritance and personal income taxes for non-residents, allowing business owners to significantly minimize their tax burden.  

• This environment allows businesses to minimize any taxes they are liable to pay on profit, allowing for capital growth and wealth preservation, making it an ideal jurisdiction for tax planning, or structuring international business. 

Strong asset protection 

• Saint Kitts and Nevis has strong legal protections that protect owners of offshore companies. Shareholders’ protection against liabilities is provided by limited liability, while their personal assets are protected from the debts of the company or any claims against it.  

• In addition, the jurisdiction has strict confidentiality laws that protect owners’ identity and financials providing high levels of privacy and protection against claims by creditors or litigants. This level of protection makes controlling assets and managing risk attractive, as asset movement and protection becomes more manageable.
