Curaçao offers a variety of Corporate Solutions
From holding companies to cooperatives, partnerships and foundations
Why Curacao?
Curaçao is an attractive home for internationally operating businesses, families and investors. Under its territorial tax system, foreign-source income is exempt and there is no withholding tax on dividends, interest or royalties — efficient for companies whose clients, and much of whose direct costs, sit abroad, within a stable and well-regulated jurisdiction. As a civil-law jurisdiction, Curaçao offers a broad, familiar range of legal entities, each designed for a specific purpose. Which one fits follows from your objectives: ownership, liability, governance, confidentiality and tax treatment all play a role. PYGG helps you select, establish and manage the right structure.
Other Corporate Solutions
An incorporated company for larger businesses, holding, financing or IP; allows public or private (and non-voting) shares. Foreign income is exempt under the territorial system; can elect Curaçao Investment Company (CIC) status for a 0% or 10% rate.
A flexible incorporated company with restricted share transfers, ideal for SMEs and holdings; same tax treatment as the N.V., including CIC election.
A legal entity without owners that can issue certificates to beneficiaries; taxable only to the extent it carries on business.
A non-incorporated entity with separate equity; exempt from profit tax except on business profits.
General partner(s) manage and limited partner(s) contribute capital; may have shares; tax-transparent unless it elects to be taxed.
