Jurisdiction overview: Belize
Belize is a classic offshore jurisdiction with a reliable legal system, English-speaking environment, and favorable corporate regulation. Company registration in Belize is popular among non-residents due to full tax neutrality, the absence of mandatory reporting, and a high degree of confidentiality.
Belizean IBCs are widely used in international trade, online business, investment projects, and asset holding. Registration can be done entirely remotely, and company management does not require a physical presence.
The jurisdiction does not participate in the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) for automatic exchange of tax information, making it an attractive option for structures focused on privacy and international operations without tax burdens.
Main features of the jurisdiction
Legal System: Common law with modern offshore modifications
Currency: Belize dollar (BZD), pegged to the US dollar
Taxes: 0% on profits, dividends, royalties, and capital gains — if the business is conducted outside Belize. No taxes on property, inheritance, currency control, or VAT
Reporting: Belize IBCs are not required to submit annual financial reports or returns if the company is not engaged in licensed activities — only internal records are required for the registry and tax compliance. However, IBCs must submit an annual Business Tax Return via a registered agent — even in the absence of income (in which case “0” is indicated).
Confidentiality: Shareholders and beneficiaries are not disclosed; access to information is restricted to the registrar
Regulator: International Financial Services Commission (IFSC)
Belize is a flexible tool for international business with minimal costs, fast registration, and full tax exemption.
