Property Investor information for: Vanuatu
Vanuatu is a tax haven, and commercial activities in the country have been greatly influenced by this status. An extremely active financial centre, it is engaged in the administration and management of offshore companies, trusts and banks. The Finance Centre Association encompasses the extensive business and financial facilities available in Vanuatu resulting from its "pure" tax haven status; pure, because for both residents and non-residents there are no personal or corporate income taxes, no estate or gift duties, no capital gains taxes, no exchange controls, and extensive secrecy provisions.
The absence of these taxes, duties and controls, coupled with state of the art communications and highly-developed professional services, makes Vanuatu an ideal centre for foreign investors to base their surplus funds for investment or to base off-shore companies forming part of a wider international or financial network. The Vanuatu Government is extremely active in its support of the Finance Centre Association because of its importance to the Vanuatu economy, and is committed to making the country the Pacific's foremost tax haven.
