Introduction
Anguilla, which was formally separated from St. Kitts and
Nevis in 1981, is a dependent British overseas territory
that enjoys a high degree of political and economic stability
with a well-regulated financial services industry. This
island of 35 square miles is home to a population of just
over 10,000 people who are predominantly Afro-Caribbean
and is situated just over one hundred miles east of Puerto
Rico, close to the British Virgin Islands.
One of the more commended features about Anguilla's company
registration system is Anguilla Commercial On-line Registration
Network (ACORN), which went live in 1998. It is able to
facilitate the incorporation of companies such as International
Business Companies (IBCs) and Limited Liability Companies
(LLCs) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from anywhere in
the world via the internet through licenced company managers
and trust companies together with their approved overseas
agents.
Law And Taxation
Anguilla is a common law jurisdiction, supplemented by
local statutes enacted by the local House of Assembly. In
1994, with the British Government's technical assistance
and funding, corporate and financial legislation was enacted
with amendments made at the end of 1998, and again in 2000.
Now businesses incorporated in Anguilla are governed by
either the Companies Ordinance 1994 or the International
Business Companies Act (amended in 1998 and 2000).
Anguilla is a neutral tax jurisdiction, with all companies
registered benefiting from Anguilla's zero-tax situation.
Moreover, Anguilla does not distinguish between local and
offshore companies. Together these points make Anguilla
a very attractive location to financial services professionals.
