The shareholders have the maximum power on the IBC-Panama Corporation, but their identities aren’t revealed to the public records. This way the IBC-corporation obtains the highest level of privacy.

Holding Company

An IBC-Panama can be used as a holding to own a majority or a group of other companies. It is a company that does not produce services for itself, because they are composed from shares of their owned companies.

This type of use reduces the owner’s risks and guarantees the control of those companies. It is very useful to organize a group of business assets. They offer financial and tax advantages, because all the dividends are distributed directly to the holding, therefore reducing the taxes that have to be paid from the shareholders.

Also helps by extending the business activities from the affiliated companies canalizing the resources that need to be invested in these companies.

International Business - Tax Planning

One important advantage produced by using an IBC-Panama is its tax treatment, the Panamanian tax principle of territoriality. Under this system only incomes or profits generated within the geographic territory of Panama are subject to tax. Any profit obtained from activities outside of Panama, such as transfers or acquisition of securities, management of bank accounts and investments, the transfer or sale of real property or chattels, and the dividends received from companies operating abroad, will be exonerated from Panamanian taxes.

Trading Company

As the amount of worldwide exporting and importing increases, an IBC-Panama Corporation can play a part by performing the function of trading company. It can use a second corporation as a fulfilment company to take orders from the customer and do invoicing. Profits would then be captured offshore and can go directly to an Offshore Bank Account.

Vessels and Ship Ownership

Panama has the major merchant marine in the world. An IBC-Panama Corporation can take title of ownership of a vessel; in this case, the incomes and dividends generated by the vessel outside of Panama will be exonerated from Panamanian taxes.

Billing & Re-Billing

IBC-Panama Corporations are commonly used for billing and re-billing activities, for real estate, assets and foreign merchandise from an office located in Panama and also for commercial and business operated overseas.

This is a very good strategy for those who need to reduce their taxes from their commercial activities or business operated in their country. We also have the Principle of Tributary Territoriality which indicates that financial activities made outside Panama (those which do not include activities in Panama) will be tax exempt.

Merchant Account - Bank Account Management
