The Cayman Islands’ tax-neutral environment is a cornerstone of its appeal for international businesses. Key tax benefits include:

  • 0% Corporate Tax: No tax on profits generated globally, ideal for offshore activities.

  • 0% Personal Income Tax: No tax on income for shareholders or directors, enhancing personal wealth retention.

  • No Capital Gains Tax: Profits from asset sales, investments, or intellectual property are tax-free.

  • No Withholding Tax: No tax on dividends, interest, or royalties paid to non-residents, optimizing cash flow.
