So, if company for its legal address has chosen Panama as starting point, the practical interest for offshore here first of all is represented by the form of joint-stock company (Sociedad Anonima). The creation of such organization and legal form does not demand the presence of minimal capital. Meetings of stockholders and directors can be hold in any place of the world. Here the Company is released from payment of taxes. Taking into account the fact, that financial documents and minutes on meetings of shareholders and directors can be located at any territory as well, the state of Panama enables not to report and to not conduct the financial account, and all offshore companies have the guaranteed repatriation beyond the country boundaries, it becomes clear, why the large-tonnage ships of payment systems overloaded with a cash land Panama.

According to the law all bank institutions have been divided into two types - "A" and "B". And, for participants of the electronic finance market the “A” banks draw the low prospect field for activity and the "B" - banks are that shovels which row the golden mountains for world Internet payment system and banks. These banks function as the financial companies subordinated to associative groups or to legal persons. The minimal capital for creation of such bank is only 200000 $.

And the following fact can turn a head of any Internet – financier: Belize offshore banks are not subject to the control over an exchange of a foreign currency and pay no taxes. All the above-stated features of Belize create the comfortable conditions for running of business in this country.
