Where Is Vanuatu? Located in the South Pacific just a 2 hour flight from Sydney, Australia and surrounded by the clear and warm waters of the South Pacific Ocean, a place where the land emerges from the sea, an island that becomes a destiny, a destiny that becomes passion. In Vanuatu you can visit a backstreet store that makes the best homemade jams and pickles in the South Pacific, go SCUBA diving, charter a seaplane to a deserted island, look into the heart of an active volcano or stand in awe as you witness the primitive origins of bungy jumping.

Vanuatu A Tax Haven In The Heaven

Why Vanuatu? Vanuatu is a pure tax haven, and commercial activities in the country have been greatly influenced by this status. An extremely active financial centre, it is engaged in the administration and management of offshore companies, trusts & banks. The Finance Centre Association encompasses the extensive business and financial facilities available in Vanuatu resulting from its "pure" tax haven status; pure, because for both residents & non-residents there are no personal or corporate income taxes, no estate or gift duties, no capital gains taxes, no exchange controls, and extensive It had the unique status of being a "condominium," which meant being a colony of 2 countries, Britain and France, and has nothing to do with apartments! Since becoming an independent nation in 1980, Vanuatu has deliberately set out to be extremely attractive to international investors with company laws modeled broadly on Caribbean tax havens and some of the world's most severe banking and business secrecy laws. Penalties for disclosing information can be up to US$100,000 or and five year prison term. Tax liability and tax evasion in other countries are not enforced by Vanuatu's courts. Because the country relies on Australia for transport and many other facilities, Vanuatu cooperates with Australia and other Commonwealth countries to defeat money laundering and serious non-tax related crimes. Any court proceedings involving an international company are held in secret, in the judge's private office, and the matter is not publicized. A special body called the Financial Services Commission has been established for one-stop shopping in everything concerning company law, banking, insurance and trust matters, and the setting up of new companies. Both government and private interests are represented on this Commission.
