Anguilla company formation FAQs

No. One director of any nationality is enough. A licensed Anguilla registered agent and office are mandatory, and ours is included for year one.

Anguilla charges no corporate income tax and withholds no tax on dividends. You may still owe tax where you live.

The $350 government fee, an annual return and an economic substance return, all by the end of your anniversary quarter. We send reminders.
