Liechtenstein Trust Formation

Liechtenstein Trust formation is done by drafting a Trust Deed between the Settlor and Trustee(s). The Trust Deed does not need to provide the Beneficiaries' names. Liechtenstein Trust formation is therefore a confidential way of protecting assets. The following information will help you determine whether Liechtenstein Trust formation is the best solution to meet your personal or corporate objectives:
Advantages of Liechtenstein Trust Formation
1.
Strong confidentiality - if the Liechtenstein Trust Deed is placed with the Liechtenstein Registrar of Trustees within 12 months of formation, it is not available for public viewing, so Beneficiary details are kept confidential.
2.
A Trustee can be either be an individual or a corporation.
3.
Because it is a Civil Law jurisdiction, a Liechtenstein Trust can accumulate income.
4.
A Liechtenstein Trust is exempt from profits tax.
5.
There are no withholding taxes on payments to Trust Beneficiaries who are not resident in Liechtenstein.
6.
A Liechtenstein Trust has no perpetuities regulations.
7.
Liechtenstein Trust law is very flexible in terms of Settlors' powers.
8.
Liechtenstein is no longer part of the OECD grey list after (i) complying with OECD regulation (ii) establishing 11 tax information exchange agreements (TIEAs). In this way, company incorporation in Liechtenstein is less likely to be perceived with the tax haven label and can project a positive image for your firm.
Disadvantages of a Liechtenstein Trust Formation
1.
One of the Trustees must be a resident of Liechtenstein holding a recognised professional or other qualification.
2.
Liechtenstein has forced heirship provisions because it is a Civil Law jurisdiction.
