The Bahamas are one of the most popular of the Caribbean tax havens. The banking sector is huge and has acquired an excellent reputation as a location for offshore banking. The Bahamas has also agreed to implement the OECD exchange of information treaty and has now moved off the OECD grey list onto the white list as it has now signed over 12 tax information exchange agreements.

If you’re looking for a tax-free offshore company, a Bahamian International Business Company (IBC) may be just what you’re looking for. With traditionally good financial privacy, the Bahamas is a popular location for non-resident companies.
