Management-Services
The taxation of companies on an international level generally follows the principle of decision-making power. A company is thus taxable in the country where ‘Management & Control’ is exercised.
In general, international authorities assume that ‘Management & Control’ of a company is exercised in the same country where the general manager/director resides.
Therefore, if the residence of the shareholder is outside of Panama, it makes sense to at least appoint respective Nominee-Directors or local general managers/directors at the registered office of the company.
The level of authority of the Nominee-Directors can be contractually determined according to the individual needs of the shareholder as well as the legal framework.
Additionally, an appropriate business address as well as a local telephone number with personal answering service is not only advisable, but in the majority of cases required. Whether a postal address, Office-Service or even business premises - we can offer you service packages for all your needs.
Note: It is of course also possible to appoint local managing directors instead of using Nominee-Directors, should you prefer to do so. We are happy to advise you on the one-off and running costs upon request!
Basic Management-Package
‘Management & Control’
In case you are not able to, cannot or do not want to act as director of your company, or should you need additional directors (for example to reach the required three directors), you can appoint so-called Nominee-Directors.
Nominee-Directors represent the company externally and are acting under the leadership of the shareholder(s). Direct access to the capital of the company by the Nominee-Directors can be made non-existent or be limited accordingly. The scope of management and control that Nominee-Directors exercise can be determined individually. Of course, we are happy to advise you in this regard, represent the company externally and act on the instructions of the shareholder(s).
The shareholder(s) can, additional to the director of the company, be empowered to become active within the company, by means of corresponding power of attorney.
We are happy to support in any way, whether in relation to your choice of the Management-Package or with any other questions!
