New Zealand

Panama
Panama is an ideal place to establish a Foundation because it combines the best features of a Trust with the best features of an offshore corporation. Any assets given to a Foundation are the sole property of the Foundation, so they cannot be seized. Also, a Foundation can own shares in a company doing business, including activities that increase the worth of the assets such as banks, real estate holdings and securities brokerage accounts. As there are no shares in a Foundation, stock ownership is not applicable, and thus not reportable. This is a benefit for those looking for confidentiality. Healy Consultants fees to establish a Foundation in Panana are: Year 1: US$4,500 and Year 2 onwards: US$2,500. For more information, kindly follow this Panama Foundation Set Up link.
Switzerland
According to estimates by Switzerland's Federal Supervisory Authority, the assets of charitable foundations totalled more than 30 billion Swiss Francs (US$25 billion) as of 2005, with annual payouts totalling around US$838 million. Switzerland is an attractive location in which to establish a Foundation, and recently revised its Foundation Law to further encourage the sector.
