Tax advantages in Panama for offshore companies

This means that income generated outside the country will not be taxed in Panama, but neither will it be taxed anywhere else.

For those that do not operate in that country, it is not necessary to file annual income tax returns, the accounting records of these companies can be managed outside the Panamanian territory. However, Resident Agents must be able to access the person responsible for the records and the physical location of the records.
Annual costs
The benefit of an offshore company is centered on the possibility of invoicing commercial activities carried out in international markets without having to file income tax returns in Panama or anywhere in the world and with an annual cost of maintenance of the company of 701.25 USD.
