Compare Tax Havens
Many tax free domiciles have no capital gains
tax, inheritance tax, estate tax, gift tax,
withholding tax in place. The Cayman Islands add
no income tax, no corporate tax and no
inheritance tax and most importantly no property
tax. Other havens are seen as incompliant or
not fully tax free. It is one of the top five
offshore centres in the world.
