ABOUT CURACAO FIRST

Curaçao is the Pearl and the Capital of the Caribbean

Large corporations, (hedge) funds and wealthy individuals (including classical musicians, pop artists, DJs, athletes, tennis players, golf players, entertainers, composers, fashion models) may benefit from the friendly Curacao tax climate. Dutch Caribbean (Curacao) based companies and foundations can be used to relieve taxes on dividends, interest payments and royalties (royalties can be earned from, e.g., performances, trademarks, copyrights, film rights and patents). It is of importance to mention that Curacao is not listed on any OECD or FATF blacklist. Curacao is OECD and FATF compliant.

Despite the recent revolutionary changes of the fiscal and e-commerce legal framework in Curaçao (Dutch Caribbean), the Island is still not discovered on a broad scale by foreign exporters, especially exporters in Asia (China, Japan, Singapore, India, etc.).

In particular exporters in Asia should consider exporting to Latin America using Curaçao as a hub. Curaçao is an ideal location at the crossroad of trade between Latin America, Asia, the United States and Europe.

Curaçao offers many (regional) advantages such as:

* Logistic center for the Caribbean and Latin America

* Highly qualified human resources

* Very favorable fiscal environment

* Extensive international banking and financial services

* Part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands

* Total E-solutions

* Excellent infrastructure


CURAÇAO IS THE GATEWAY TO LATIN AMERICA
