In werking 1 April 2020: die jaarlikse onderhoudsfooi styg van US $ 450 tot US $ 500 vir alle LLC's en IBC's. Vennootskappe en Foreign Maritime Entity (FME) onveranderd is. Hierdie styging is te wyte aan die koste van die nakoming van die regulasies van die ekonomiese stof wat die Europese Unie op die Marshall -eilande gedruk het. Praat oor soewereiniteit: do not be surprised Brexit happened. After all the Marshall Islands are not in the EU so it is easy to walk on them. It was written already: the Article 4(2) of the Treaty on European Union respects other Member States only. Let’s send a big thank ... Read more

Die wêreldwye bedryf van nie-inwoners, lae belasting of belastingneutrale maatskappye is paniekerig: al die groot rekenmeestersondernemings (Deloitte, Ernest en Young, KMPG, en PWC) is oorweldig deur 'n golf van onlangse wetgewing wat deur baie jurisdiksies tegelyk aanvaar is. Die oproep (geskiet?) has been made by the European Commission in Brussels regarding the non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. Some people will believe that it targets only small players, and others will believe that it only affects big players. In fact it is targeting every body.
