Nevis - Eastern Caribbean

This 36 square mile island is located in the chain of Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, some 1200 miles southeast of Miami and 225 miles southeast of Puerto Rico. In 1983 St Kitts & Nevis gained independence from Britain, but remained independent members of the British Commonwealth. Several major airlines service the region and provide excellent links to Puerto Rico. Tourism remains the primary economic influence on the island, supplemented by a growing offshore financial industry. During the last decade Nevis has emerged as an attractive sanctuary for offshore financial services.

Banking and Communications

Nevis has a strong banking system consisting of several major institutions. Local laws assure complete confidentiality of banking and financial records. The official currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar which is pegged to the U.S Dollar. Foreign transactions can, however, be made in any currency. There is no exchange control in Nevis. Telecommunications are state of the art and all major courier companies service the island.

Law and Taxation

The legal system is based upon English common law. There is a high court and a regional Court of Appeal. The ultimate appellate court is the Privy Council in London. Nevis provides a friendly tax environment including exemption for offshore companies, limited partnerships and trusts from any tax.
