The Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis is one of the smallest states in the Eastern Caribbean. Despite the size of the state and the number of population, in 2017, the IMF recognized the country most developed economy in terms of growth rates per year: annual growth of indicators – about 4%. In addition to the confident pace of development, the federation attracts entrepreneurs and especially advantageous conditions of obtaining citizenship through investment or acquisition of real estate. However, this is still far from all the advantages for business in jurisdiction.
Offshore registration in Nevis: specific features of the zone
- The island has very flexible legislation in the field of incorporation: new business can be registered as corporations, joint stock companies, trusts and offshore funds, which can change the form of the organization during the operation.
- The Federation opens wide horizons of offshore application: export trade, protection and preservation of assets, accumulation of investments, expansion of international activity and redomiciling of companies from other less advantageous jurisdictions.
- Total freedom from the tax burden. The rates of fiscal fees in the state are equal to 0, provided that the companies conclude transactions and conduct transactions abroad (the only contribution remains the annual license fee – $220). Domestic taxes for resident firms:

- Welfare – 3, 5-12%;
- Capital gains tax, profit for legal – 35%;
