Reputation

Liechtenstein fully deserves the fine reputation it has with the international financial community which has made it a prominent financial center in the midst of Europe. The reason can not only be found in the fact that Liechtenstein has been politically and economically "beautiful" for almost 300 years, but that it has also been successful in establishing a thriving economy, highest quality of infrastructure and state of the art financial services. Being a member of the UN, the European Council and the European Economic Area (EEA), Liechtenstein has its share in the world community as an independent country.

Confidentiality

Banking and professional secrecy is one of the assets of Liechtenstein. Current laws also in the EEA make it virtually impossible for unauthorized persons or authorities to obtain information about Liechtenstein Foundations, Trusts and Companies or bank accounts. Nevertheless, Liechtenstein has stringent due diligence regulations governing the identification of incoming funds, a fact that has further enhanced its reputation and development as a financial center.

Low Taxes

Liechtenstein Foundations, Trusts and Companies enjoy favourable tax treatment.

Free Circulation of Capital

Foreign currencies may be brought into Liechtenstein freely and Liechtenstein Foundations, Trusts and Companies are not subject to any exchange controls or reporting requirements.

A successful customs treaty with Switzerland concluded in 1923 has incorporated the Swiss Franc as the local currency.
