The Panama Private Interest Foundation (Fundación de Interés Privado) is one of the most proven offshore protective structures in the world. Your assets are separated from you completely in law, appear in no public register and are beyond the reach of your personal creditors.
The foundation is an independent legal person under Panamanian law. It has no owner, only beneficiaries, who are recorded in a private register. By law, the foundation's assets are not liable for the personal debts of the founder or the beneficiaries; creditors can challenge a transfer only within three years, on the grounds that it was made to defeat creditors.
No income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or gift tax on foreign income. Ideal for people who are not taxable in the USA.
