Why Form a Company in Vanuatu?
Vanuatu is a long-established Pacific international financial centre. The points below are general commercial considerations, not guarantees, and your own circumstances should be reviewed with a qualified adviser.
Activity-Based Tax Treatment
Vanuatu levies no general corporate or personal income tax. This does not create automatic tax-free status for the owner: tax may arise in the owner's country of residence, or where management and control or activities are located, which should be reviewed with an adviser.
Flexible International Company
The Vanuatu International Company is intended for international business. It generally cannot carry on business in Vanuatu except to further its business elsewhere, and uses a Constitution with a registered office and registered agent in Vanuatu.
Bilingual Common-Law Influence
Vanuatu's legal framework draws on common-law traditions with English and French both in use, offering familiarity for international businesses.
Established Registry
A company registry and professional-services sector support incorporation and ongoing administration.
Compliance with Standards
An International Company must maintain a registered agent and registered office, keep beneficial-ownership and accounting records, and pay an annual registration fee to stay in good standing.
Pacific Time Zone
Vanuatu can be a useful base for businesses operating across the Asia-Pacific and Pacific regions.
