Vanuatu International Company

Vanuatu is a Pacific island jurisdiction that offers a highly tax-efficient and confidential offshore corporate structure through its International Company framework, governed by the International Companies Act. A Vanuatu International Company is completely exempt from all local taxes and stamp duty, including income tax, capital gains tax, and withholding tax, making it an excellent vehicle for international trade, investment holding, and asset management activities outside the Pacific region.

The jurisdiction maintains no public register of directors or members, ensuring maximum privacy for business owners. Formation is straightforward and can be completed within two business days. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients form their Vanuatu International Company efficiently, managing all required documentation and ensuring full compliance with local regulatory requirements.
