Andorra is not just another Offshore centre. In the first place, Andorrs is landlocked and in the second place, Andorra does not have an \u201coffshore jurisdiction\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It does not have special <span class=\"history-right\">Tax<\/span> regulations for banking or investment funds, it does not <span class=\"history-right\">Offer<\/span> classical offshore products such as trusts. The reason it doesn\u2019t <span class=\"history-right\">Offer<\/span> these services, is becaues Andorra does not levy any taxes at all. No individual taxes, no company taxes, just some custom duties and <span class=\"history-right\">Local<\/span> property taxes. Andorra has no official <span class=\"history-right\">Currency<\/span>, and a wide <span class=\"history-right\">Range<\/span> of currencies are accepted internally.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financial Background <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Andorran jurisdiction, prescribing a majority of Andorran ownership in any business, does not make Andorra a good place for international trading. However, because of the absence of taxation, the liberal business environment and the <span class=\"history-right\">High<\/span> level of secrecy make it a perfect place to collect the proceeds of international business, especially if the entity that ultimately benefits is living in Andorra.<\/p>\n<p>The business environment in Andorra is very liberal. There are no corporate income taxes, and regulations are light. Since there is no <span class=\"history-right\">Currency<\/span>, there are no <span class=\"history-right\">Exchange<\/span> or capital controls. Telecommunications are excellent, and Internet hosting is available.<\/p>\n<p>An Andorra <span class=\"history-right\">Non-resident<\/span> company is not liable to any taxation. It has not concluded double taxation agreements with other nations. This means that no information is exchanged with other countries fiscal authorities. Incorporation and running of the company is simpler and more cost-effective when compared to other offshore jurisdictions. Andorra is a finance center of repute within the European Union. Companies incorporated there compare favorably to those registered in purely offshore jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a class=\"wp-caption\" href=\"http:\/\/www.privatebanking.com\/knowledgebase\/financial-centres\/all\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Click here to find more information<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Principality of Andorra is located in the heart of the Pyrenees, between France and Spain.
