Belize is a small country in Central America. This jurisdiction offers a number of key advantages for registering and doing business. That said, the country is fast becoming a destination for both companies and individuals wishing to incorporate offshore.

Traditionally, Belize's economy has depended on tourism, seafood and sugar cane. Recently, however, this jurisdiction has been recognized worldwide as an optimal country for doing business.

Taxation peculiarities

If you do not want to independently study the local legislation and understand all the legal intricacies of taxation, we will provide professional advice.

In case the registered firm is not a resident of Belize, such an entity is fully exempt from value added tax. The exception is a fixed annual payment to the Belizean budget and local taxes of the jurisdiction. The tax rate for IBC is as follows:

• 1.75% of the profits subject to tax if its size exceeds $ 1,500,000; 
• 3% of profits, if its size does not exceed $ 1,500,000.

Depending on the type of economic activity, the amount of corporate tax may vary from 1.75% to 19%.

A resident company must contribute 25% of its financial turnover to the state revenue. The level of profitability and the amount of profit do not matter. The annual tax rates of legal entities registered in this offshore jurisdiction are directly related to the authorized capital. At the legislative level, there are clear requirements for the payment of such fees and their rates:

1. If the authorized capital is not more than $50,000, the contribution to the state budget is $100 per year.
2. In cases where the authorized capital is at least $50,000 and above, the fixed fee to the state treasury is $1,000 annually.
3. If the company is engaged in issuing shares without determining the par value, the annual fee to the local government treasury is 350 USD.
