Offshore Company Creation in Tunisia
What Is an Offshore Company in Tunisia?
In Tunisia, an offshore company is a business operating exclusively on international markets under the fully exporting regime. Unlike onshore companies, it generates all or nearly all of its revenue abroad. This status is governed by the Investment Incentives Code and offers a highly attractive tax framework for foreign investors and Tunisians residing abroad.
Offshore Regime Advantages
Offshore companies in Tunisia benefit from total corporate tax exemption during the first ten years, followed by a reduced rate of 10% thereafter. They are also exempt from VAT on imported equipment, customs duties and payroll taxes. The ability to freely repatriate profits and capital is a major advantage.
Types of Offshore Companies
Several legal forms are possible for an offshore company in Tunisia: a fully exporting LLC, an offshore single-member LLC, a branch of a foreign company or an exporting public limited company. The choice depends on your capital structure, number of partners and business activity. The most common sectors are IT services, consulting, BPO and engineering.
