Liechtenstein Offshore Company

The principal Corporate Legislation is the Persons and Companies Act of 1926. Liechtenstein is the only country on the Continent to have a Law on Registered Trusts. The powers of Liechtenstein corporate bodies are contained in the Companies’ statutes. The language used for legislation and corporate documents is German, but foreign language translations can be obtained. The most important entity for tax purposes is the Anstalt, which is commonly used by foreign companies as a holding company for overseas subsidiaries. The Anstalt is an entity that has no members, participants or shareholders, and is a hybrid of a company limited by shares and a foundation. It is popular because with minor exceptions it is free to conduct all kinds of business, including non-trading activities such as holding of passive investments. Key Features
