Liberia Shelf Companies and New Company Formation

Liberia Shelf Companies and New Company Formation.

Liberia is officially known as the Republic of Liberia. The word “Liberia” means “Land of the Free” in Latin. Liberia sits on the West African coast. Companies conducting business outside of Liberia are exempt from Liberian corporation tax and are not taxed on income coming from outside Liberia. There are many benefits to incorporating in Liberia. These benefits include:

• No Taxation of Worldwide Income as Liberia has a “territorial” based income tax system. This means only income and profits earned inside Liberia borders are subject to income taxes. However, U.S. taxpayers and others residing in similar countries which tax worldwide income will not be exempt.

• Liberia’s governmental structure is based on the U.S. Constitution, but only has one political party.

• Ship Registry is a major industry where Liberia’s registered merchant ships are triple the size of the United State’s registered merchant vessels. Tax benefits are available to vessel owners who register in Liberia. For instance, foreign source shipping income of non-resident registered corporations is not taxed. This is one reason why Liberia is known as a “flag of convenience” haven for registering ships.

• Easy Incorporation: Liberia maintains a straightforward and easy incorporation process. A new Liberian corporation can be formed in as little as 24 hours.

• Similar to Delaware: Liberian corporate tax laws are similar to Delaware’s laws.

• No Annual Corporate Documents: Liberia has no annual corporate documents filing requirements.

• Low Registration Fees: Registering a company in Liberia costs as little as $900 USD and the yearly renewal fee is around $900 USD.

• U.S. Dollar: Liberia accepts U.S. Dollars at face value making banking and business convenient for Americans.
