Corporate capital of a Panama Corporation

A Panama corporation is not required to have a paid capital to be valid after its constitution, and these corporations may issue nominative or bearer stocks. When corporate stocks are issued to the bearer, share in the corporate capital corresponding to those stocks issued to the bearer is presumed paid.

Any kind of person, a natural person or other corporation or company, can become a holder or owner of the corporate stocks, with no need for having legal residence or being present in the Republic of Panama. Any nominative stock may be issued in favor of more than one person.

Panama Corporation tax benefits

A Panama Corporation is subjected to a territorial tax system, a regime that only requires payment of taxes for operations done or considered done within the territory of the Republic of Panama.  Under Panamanian Tax Law, commercial operations executed, taking place, or taking effects outside Panama will be considered offshore and are not taxable, without considering that these operations may be managed or directed from an office located in Panama.  Except for the annual corporate tax in the amount of USD 300.00 that all corporations and private interest foundations must pay, there would be no other tax obligations for an offshore Panama corporation.
