What matters to a capital owner and family
Reviewed by SGC29.07.2026
No general CGT, while business dealing and property charges require separate review.
No general inheritance or gift tax
No net wealth tax
A headline rate is only a starting point. The outcome depends on residence, income source, asset type, ownership structure and the rules of the family’s other countries.
TAX RESIDENCE
Residence and scope of taxation
Residence and ordinary residence depend on days and permanent home; a citizenship programme does not by itself establish tax residence.
Residents and non-residents have different tax scope; employment, business and investment income require source analysis.

WHEN THIS MATTERS
When this jurisdiction may be relevant
A jurisdiction is assessed together with the family’s countries of residence, asset locations and business structure.
The structure requires a clear commercial purpose connected to the family’s real assets
Substance, administration and disclosure requirements need advance review
Banking access, recognition of the structure and a future exit scenario should be tested
THE ROLE OF SGC
Independent review
We compare the jurisdiction with alternatives and identify consequences for the family, not only incorporation advantages.
Local expertise
We engage licensed local counsel, tax advisers, administrators and other specialists.
One coordination layer
We retain the whole picture and ensure that a local solution does not conflict with arrangements elsewhere.
INDIVIDUAL REVIEW
Discuss how this jurisdiction may fit your objectives
We first identify the family’s objectives, connected countries and constraints. We then develop options and engage the required licensed specialists.
This material is general information. Tax regimes and requirements for companies, residence and disclosure change over time. Before any decision, SGC arranges a current review by licensed advisers in each connected jurisdiction.
