Asset Protection, Privacy, and Other Benefits of Starting a Nevis IBC 

Nevis is often referred to as an “island gem” in the Caribbean. It is one of the two islands that make up the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. It has a separate parliament known as the Nevis Island Assembly, the Nevis Island Administration headed by a Premier, which grants Nevis a significant degree of autonomy, especially in areas such as finance and tourism. Nevis is known for preserving its beautiful natural environment, cultural heritage, and promoting community involvement. Nevis is also renowned for its hospitality and friendliness. Nevis has a reputation as a safe destination due to the low crime rate and a stable political climate.

Nevis, unlike some offshore jurisdictions, has strict privacy laws that safeguard information about non-resident owners and executives of offshore companies registered on the island. On the other hand, Nevis is also subject to international standards obliging it to cooperate with foreign judicial and supervisory authorities in cases of suspected illegal activity. Like all tax havens, it has been subject to increased scrutiny by international organizations. However, Nevis has not been directly implicated in any major scandals or controversies related to an offshore financial activity. Therefore, offshore companies registered in Nevis take advantage of many perks, opportunities, and business incentives. 

Nevis provides significant advantages to foreign investors through its robust legal framework rooted in English law. These benefits comprise secure asset protection and confidentiality of IBC owners and offshore company executives in Nevis. Thanks to revisions made to its laws, Nevis has steered clear of being listed as non-compliant by the EU, making it a secure business hub for individuals seeking to do business in Europe and other regions.

Nevis is a participant in the AEOI (Automatic Exchange of Information) framework that facilitates the automatic exchange of financial information between tax authorities of different countries to prevent tax evasion and improve tax compliance. Noteworthy, the data is sourced by banks and not by registered agents.

For your convenience, we have listed below the benefits of incorporating a Nevis IBC:

• no VAT, capital gains, or income tax for offshore Nevis companies
• an opportunity to obtain citizenship by investment in St Kitts and Nevis
• secure data privacy for company owners and executives thanks to the absence of a public company register in Nevis
• • no mandatory requirements for offshore Nevis companies to submit financial reports to the authorities. Therefore, any offshore Nevis IBC can prepare reports and archive documents abroad, as long as they can present them for inspection upon special request in Nevis
• Nevis IBC members’ limited liability based on their respective shareholdings
• various company structuring options, including, but not limited to, sole company ownership and the recruitment of professional directors for a Nevis IBC.

The Procedure for Opening a Corporate Bank Account in Macedonia for an Offshore Nevis IBC

Macedonia banks are popular with offshore company owners and non-resident HNWIs looking for financial institutions with which they can keep, protect, and safely manage their capital for business expansion and profit. However, following the recently imposed international transparency norms and regulations, Macedonian financial establishments have had to revise their fees and tariffs for non-resident VIP clients. They have also narrowed access to accounts, products, and services for clients from North Korea, Syria, Vanuatu, and Iran.

A standby letter of credit (a.k.a. SBLC) is a payment guarantee issued by a bank or a financial institution using the MT760 SWIFT message. It is used to pay the customer when the applicant fails to perform their obligations.

SBLC may be used to make multiple financial and commercial transactions that are similar to documentary letters of credit (DLC), with the only difference being that SBLC is only available where the applicant is in default of their obligations. Under the said circumstances, the SBLC recipient has the right to demand payment.

• L/G activation – EUR 250 + EUR 100 as SWIFT fee
• L/G transfer to a different domestic bank – 0.5%, with a minimum fee of EUR 500.

FYI: SBLC protects the seller or the exporter receiving the payment as well as the buyer or the exporter where the seller fails to ship the goods, ships damaged goods or violates contract terms.

In international trade, bank guarantees are used for commercial contracts. The importer has the right to request a bank guarantee from the exporter to secure the tender.

From the exporter’s perspective, the importer’s requesting a bank guarantee protects the exporter from non-payment risks. Before issuing a bank guarantee, the importer’s bank conducts comprehensive customer due diligence verifying inter alia their creditworthiness.
