URUGUAY
THE ONLY LOW TAX OFFSHORE JURISDICTION
IN SOUTH AMERICA

COMPANY FORMATION (SAFI – SA)
SOCIEDAD ANONIMA FINANCIERA DE INVERSIONES

INCORPORATION FEES

Since SAFI’s will be eliminated in 2007 (and existing ones will have to transform themselves to SA’s by 2010), we recommend SA’s instead of SAFI’s.

They have the same use as SAFI’s (and in fact, for many years, most clients have required SA’s instead) because they can act BOTH onshore and offshore, and still, the taxes are the same (a SA used for offshore activity may even have less taxes... it has a set flat tax, the ICOSA, of USD 350 per year, and pays no tax on capital etc which a SAFI may have).
