NIUE ISLAND


Niue is a little-known and even underrated jurisdiction for doing business. It is located in the Polynesian region as a self-governing country, but in the commonwealth with New Zealand. A company in Alofi (the capital of Niue) or another locality in the country may be of interest to international business due to favorable tax conditions and the registration of a new business.

Advantages of owning a company in Niue

The decision to register or purchase a business in Niue can be potentially beneficial for companies due to the following advantages of the region:

  • high level of confidentiality for beneficiaries (their details are not disclosed);
  • ease of registering a new business and keeping records for it;
  • lack of taxation of profits received outside the region;
  • lack of exchange controls;
  • third parties need assistance to obtain information about the company's banking operations in Niue.

    • Opportunities for doing business in Niue

    Registration of a company in Niue is potentially advantageous in one of several forms:

  • An International Business Company (IBC) is a form of business activity in which the financial and legal liability of the participants is limited to the amount of their contributions. Even one shareholder (individual or legal entity) can found a company. The company requires one director (he can even be the shareholder himself). The amount of share capital for this offshore account must be 10,000 US dollars, without the need to pay during registration.
  • Partnership - can be established by two or more persons who bear full liability for the results of their activities. The partnership agreement regulates the relations between them.

  • Regulatory policy and taxation in Niue
  • Registration of a business in Niue is relatively easy - the process takes from 15 to 30 days. The jurisdiction is interested in attracting foreign capital.
  • Among other things, this is manifested in the absence of taxes for Niue companies that have made profits abroad. The amount of local fees, including the preservation of the name and registration of the company, is symbolic.
