In this country, it is profitable to conduct a business related to the export and import of goods, since there is no tax duty on capital increases, to create holding companies and other firms.

South Africa has a good reputation for being a stable and loyal offshore zone, especially for non-residents. The legislation introduced special conditions under which the founders can create a company as quickly as possible and get the first profit as soon as possible. For foreign investors, South Africa is a profitable jurisdiction for several reasons:

Transparent tax policy. Non-resident companies registered in South Africa, but not operating directly within the jurisdiction, are exempt from income tax.
Several (45) relevant agreements have been signed by the state to avoid double taxation.
High level of infrastructure development and its stability. A huge financial potential is concentrated in South Africa, which, in turn, is a favorable environment for the development of commercial projects. The legal and banking spheres are well organized, which the government pays close attention to.
