Taxes

If you want to incorporate in Dominica, this article will educate you on the tax laws for an IBC which is the most common legal entity in Dominica.

International Business Companies (IBCs) in Dominica are entitled to do business internationally and shall not trade with residents, own real estate property right within the territory and conduct certain financial services activities. IBCs income accrued offshore, from our research, and this is not personal advice, are 20-year tax-exempted. This ranks Dominica as 1st when compared to corp. taxation rate internationally. An annual Government fee may apply.

An IBC in Dominica may be formed by one or more shareholders and one or more directors, who can be the same person and may be a natural or a legal person. Nominee shareholders and directors are allowed. It may not be required a secretary. Minimum capital required is US$ 100, shares may be in any currency, and may be issued with par or non-par value, and as bearer or registered form.
Details of shareholders, directors and beneficiaries are not publicly disclosed. There is no requirement to prepare or file accounts or financial statements, or to appoint an auditor.
Thin capitalisation rules are not in play. Thin capitalisation refers to any type of requirements on companies' debt-to-asset ratios. Dividends paid or received by an IBC are not subject to taxation. Dividends are distributions of earnings of a legal entity, voted by the board of directors, to a class of its shareholders. Dividends can be issued as cash payments, shares of stock, or other property. Capital Gains are exempted of taxes. A capital gains tax is levied on the profits that a corporation or natural person realizes when he or she sells sells a capital asset for a price that is higher than the purchase price.

IBCs are not subject to withholding taxes. This means that payments on dividends, interests, royalties or fees to non-residents are not subject to taxation.
