samoa.jpgSamoa consists of a group of islands situated in the central part of the Pacific Ocean, in the midst of Polynesia. New Zealand is less than 3,000 km away, and Samoa and the Hawaiian Islands are separated by little more than 4000 km.

Samoa consists of two main islands.

There is predominantly indigenous population in Samoa; they are Polynesians, but it should be noted that the British people are also present.

Samoa is characterized by tropical climate, good hotels, and beautiful beaches.

Starting from 1962 Samoa is independent and sovereign state. Its Constitution stipulates three-level legal system, which consists of such bodies:

- Court of Appeal;
- Supreme Court;
- Other Courts.

The legal system of Samoa is based on the basic principles of English common law system.

The Central Bank of Samoa is fully responsible for monetary policy, manages the currency reserve, governs the operation of commercial banks and supervises the activities of Samoa offshore companies.

The local monetary unit is the Samoan Tala. Residents of Samoa, in contrast to persons related to offshore companies in Samoa, are subject to currency control by the state.

Traditional economic orientation for the Pacific region is also characteristic of Samoa. This includes fishing, agriculture, as well as tourism. It is tourism that provides for up to 25% of Samoa's GDP. In order to stabilize the economy, the government is taking measures to develop the financial sector.

Why is it cost-efficient to register or buy offshore company in Samoa:

- Political and social stability;

- Samoa is not included in the OECD and FATF black lists (meaning that the jurisdiction has good reputation);

- Ensuring the confidentiality of data on the owners of the business in Samoa at the legislative level;

Registration of offshore company in Samoa. Features

It is possible to conduct any legitimate activity.

The name of the company in Samoa should end with the such abbreviations as Ltd, Corp, Inc, NV, GmbH, SA. Legislation of Samoa has also special provisions stating that the official name of the company, its Charter and Memorandum of Association do not necessarily have to be compiled in English, but in any other language, including Chinese dialects.

In Samoa, actions of company directors should be commensurable to the greatest possible extent with the direct interests of the company. The exception is the activity decided by the meeting of participants. Thus, the directors should (without any exceptions) act solely in the interests of offshore company in Samoa. This lack of flexibility increases potential responsibility of all directors.

Information regarding the beneficial owner and banking operations is not available to third parties, and it can only be disclosed in accordance with the decision of the local court.

Meetings of shareholders and directors can be held anywhere in the world.

The place of storage of the company's documents is selected by the participants of the company.

Concerning protection of the company's assets, it should be noted that the state will not require the decision to strike off IC in the court due to the existence of any tax debts. The fact is that for the court in Samoa any tax can not be considered a debt.

Therefore, in Samoa, any offshore structure will be reliably protected from interference by the tax authorities of other states and attempts to strike off the enterprise.

In addition, legislation of Samoa provides for the possibility of transferring the company's assets to another person under "special circumstances".
