Country Profile

The Republic of Marshall Islands is a Micronesian nation of atolls and islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

The establishment of a company in Marshall Islands gives you many benefits, as it is consideredan ideal country for international business.

Jurisdiction Advantages

A Marshall Islands (MI) Limited Liability Company has two important characteristics:

1. The directors of MI companies are not liable except, for breaches of duty and/or care, stockholder’s liabilities are limited to the amount of the share capitalization of the company; and
2. The companies are viewed as a separate legal entity, distinct from its owners. It is the separate legal identity aspect that makes the Marshall Islands Company an ideal tax planning vehicle.

A Company established in Marshall Islands shall be entitled to conduct business in any country, just like a local corporation. It is subject to the legislation of the jurisdiction where it conducts business.

The characteristics and capabilities of a MI company are:

• To buy, sell, hold securities, certificates of deposit, open savings and other bank accounts, transact in currencies, stocks and bonds, mutual funds, various other banking instruments, real estate, and other properties or valuables, such as, precious metals;
• To facilitate the purchase and sale of merchandise across country boundaries. To conclude agency, brokerage and representative agreements and to arrange warehousing, shipping, transportation and bulk purchasing facilities;
• To act in complete anonymity. There is no requirement to disclose ownership nor is there a restriction on nationality. Owners or shareholders do not have to be residents;
• The shareholders are exempt from the payment of business license fees, income taxes, corporation taxes, capital gains taxes, estate or inheritance taxes, succession or profit taxes or stamp duties or land transfer taxes related to the transfer of property;
• Meetings of directors and shareholders may be held by telephone or fax or other electronic means of communication;
• To trade in its own shares and hold treasury shares. There are no restrictions on mergers, acquisitions or joint ventures;
• No requirement to file financial statements or annual returns. This avoids listing shareholders or directors normally required in “onshore” jurisdictions;

Country Profile 

The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a small independent country of about 493,000 inhabitants located in the centre of Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and is the host country of several EU institutions, as for instance of the European Court of Justice, the European Investment Bank, the European Investment Fund, Euratom, the European Communities Publication office and the European Court of Auditors et al.

Luxembourg is a constitutional monarchy, while themembers of the parliament are elected every five years. The government is in most of the cases the result of a coalition between the two most representative political parties. Over the years, successive Luxembourg governments have shown a constant commitment to the development of financial activities in Luxembourg by creating a flexible and innovative legal framework that takes into consideration the needs and expectations of both the local and more importantly, the international financial markets.

Company Type

SPF:“Société de Gestion de Patrimoine Familial”. The law of May 11th, 2007 created a special tax regime for companies managing private wealth of individuals. The company may be considered the extension of private wealth of individuals. The responsibility of an SPF’s investor/ shareholder is limited to the assets he/she has contributed to the company, since it is about a legal personality different from those of its shareholders.

SPF is not subject to corporate income tax, municipal business tax and net worth tax. However, income derived by the SPF will be subject to taxation at the level of the shareholder in his country of residence. The aim of the SPF tax regime is the avoidance of double taxation. The justification behind this is that the SPF acts as a common vehicle for its investors, without carrying on its own economic activity. As a result, investing through an SPF or investing directly, should be largely tax neutral.

Jurisdiction Advantages

SPF is solely designed for investors managing their private wealth. SPF should be considered as an extension of the private wealth of one or more individuals. The shares of an SPF cannot be used for public placement and cannot be quoted on a stock exchange.

The benefit of the SPF regime is not open to corporate investors nor to be used within a corporate group. Eligible investors within the meaning of the law are:

1. a) individuals managing their private wealth, or
2. b) private wealth management entities acting for one or several individuals (trust etc.), or
3. c) intermediaries acting on behalf of a. or b.

SPF is an extension of the private wealth of its investors, so its activities are limited to those generally expected from individuals managing their financial assets. Based on the law, the SPF may perform the following activities:

• Holding of financial assets: the sole activity of the SPF should be the acquisition, holding, management and disposal of financial assets excluding any type of commercial activity.
• Holding of participations: SPF can also hold participations in the share capital or the voting rights of other companies, but only to the extent the SPF does not involve itself in the management of these companies. There are no restrictions regarding the activity of the company in which the SPF may hold a participation.

Corporate Tax Rate

SPF is not subject to corporate income tax, municipal business tax and net worth tax. SPF shall not be entitled to benefit neither from the double tax treaties concluded by Luxembourg nor the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive 90/435/EEC4: Therefore, any dividend and interest payments on financial assets received by an SPF might be subject to withholding tax, if any, in the State of source in accordance with the domestic tax rules of that State.

The SPF is excluded from the beneficial tax regime, for the current financial year, during which it has derived at least 5% of its total dividend income from non-resident and unlisted companies which are not subject to a tax equivalent to the Luxembourg corporate income tax. Thus, at least 95% of the foreign source dividends received by the company from non-listed companies must originate from subsidiaries which are liable to a tax that is similar to domestic corporate income tax.

A company is considered as liable to a tax corresponding to Luxembourg corporate income tax if:

• the foreign subsidiary is subject to a mandatory tax at an effective rate that is not lower than half of the Luxembourg corporate income tax and whose tax base is computed in a way similar to that applicable in Luxembourg. As the current domestic corporate income tax rate is 21%, the foreign tax rate should be at least 10.5%; or
• it is a company limited by shares, which is resident in another EU member state and falls within the scope of Article 2 of the EU Parent-Subsidiary Directive.

The 5% test only regards dividends from foreign sources received by an SPF, meaning that there is no limitation to income other than dividends (domestic or foreigh). Finally, there is no limitation as to the number of investments held in low taxed jurisdictions as long as it ensures that, for each accounting year, dividends from these companies do not represent more than 5% of the total dividend income of the SPF.
