Panama corporations have been recognized worldwide as a business tool. They can be used successfully in various areas of international trade, asset protection, planning and management of acquisitions in the real estate market and in many other areas.
The combination of favorable factors for business development makes Panamanian society attractive for business: Panama operates under a territorial tax system where residents and non-residents are taxed only on income derived from Panama.
Income that does not originate in Panama or does not originate in this country is not subject to tax in Panama. There are no economic substance requirements. Dividends received by a Panamanian resident company from another Panamanian company are exempt from corporation tax. A corporation is resident if it is incorporated under Panamanian law and the central management and control of the corporation is exercised in Panama.

permanent resident status to any applicant and dependents.
Panama's immigration is one of the most welcoming in the world, whether you want to travel or immigrate. This amazing country has immigration visas that offer permanent or temporary residency. In some cases, permanent residency can lead to Panamanian citizenship and passport. How can a country that has so much to offer be so accommodating to foreigners?
The objective of some immigration programs in Panama is to attract higher education professionals abroad and various skilled workers to fill the void caused by Panama's economic growth in recent years.
The rules are clear and do not pose a significant threat to Panamanian citizens due to the laws that govern Panamanian businesses. These laws only allow the hiring of a certain percentage of foreigners when companies are unable to find qualified workers and professionals to meet their hiring needs. It is pertinent to note that some commercial enterprises such as retail businesses are prohibited for residents (non-citizens). In addition, residents are prohibited from practicing in certain professional fields such as doctors or veterinarians, lawyers, architects and engineers.
