Cayman Islands
High Secured is an Offshore Law Firm specializing in providing complete offshore solutions to individuals and business who wish to conduct their business and financial affairs in a private, secure and reliable environment. We provide these services in virtually every “tax free” jurisdiction. We assist our clients in determining what jurisdiction best suits their needs. The Cayman Islands is tax exempt, although they require some record keeping not required in other jurisdictions
TAXATION:
Caymanians and Caymanian companies are not subject to any form of direct taxation in Cayman Islands. The exempt company provides the additional benefit of a tax exemption certificate granted for a period of up to 20 years as a safeguard against the very unlikely event the Islands introduce a system of company taxation.
AUDIT AND FINANCIAL RETURNS:
There is no requirement to file audited accounts for exempt companies; however, the company is required to keep financial records, which should reflect the financial position of a company.
MEETINGS:
An exempt company has to hold one director’s meeting a year in Cayman (but may use proxies). Shareholders meetings may be held outside Cayman, by telephone or other electronic means. Alternatively, directors and shareholders may vote by proxy”.
We find that most clients are better suited using a Panama corporation and / or foundation with an offshore bank account. Please contact one of our legal specialist to review your needs to see what the best fit is for you or you may start your order now with the below packages.
