Profits of registration a company in South Africa

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.
