The Nevis Multiform Foundation is the most flexible offshore protective structure in the world. By law, foreign court judgments against foundation assets are not recognised in Nevis, a unique protection against international creditors.
The Nevis foundation can change its legal form without being dissolved (the multiform concept): from a foundation to an LLC, a trust or another structure. This gives you maximum flexibility when your circumstances change.
No income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or gift tax on foreign income. Beneficiaries appear in no public register.
