Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions?
Can't find the answer to your question? Send us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible!
Is a Belize company tax-free?
Belize applies territorial taxation: income sourced outside Belize is generally not taxed there. Your home-country tax obligations still apply — we recommend coordinated advice.
What happened to Belize IBCs?
The regime was modernised: former IBCs continue as Belize Business Companies (BCs) under the Belize Companies Act, registered via the OBRS system.
Do I need to file accounts?
Belize BCs must maintain accounting records (and provide them to the registered agent as required by law); full public filing is not required. We set this up correctly from day one.
How fast is incorporation?
Typically 1–2 working days once KYC is cleared.
Is my ownership public?
No public beneficial-ownership register; information is held by the registered agent and disclosed only as required by law.
