Niue |
Niue is one of the
largest coral Islands in the world. Its economy depends largely on
New Zealand, which is a three-hour flight. At present, three important
sources of revenue for the Island are the food processing of local
crops, sale of collection postage stamps and tourism. However, the
main efforts are directed towards the tourism and the financial services
industry. Niue is not very well known yet as an offshore jurisdiction.
It also presents the considerable advantage to offer total confidentiality
and anonymity. The telecommunications are a weakness of this Island.
There is no port, only an offshore anchorage and thus Niue is not suitable
for shipping. There is no exchange control and no tax on offshore profits.
Niue did not sign any Double Tax Treaties.
IBC
The statutory requirements in Niue are minimum. The corporate books
and seal are optional. There is no requirement to maintain files
or to audit the accounts and there is no annual return to be filed.
Together with low government Licence Fee, and IBC in Niue is quite
inexpensive. However, the Licence Fee must be paid strictly on the
31st of May every year. This fee does not depend on the authorised
share capital. The corporate documents and the name of the IBC may
be in any language. However if not in English, they must have a certified
translation in English. Although a Niue is not allowed to trade with
Niue residents, it can be in contact with professional firms such
as accountants, lawyers etc. It cannot own any real estate in Niue
apart from a business office. It cannot undertake licensable business
such as Trusteeship, Banking, Insurance etc. It is important to note
that an IBC cannot offer their shares to the public or seek public
funds.
