Basic information about bank accounts in the Cayman Islands
Both individuals and legal entities can open a bank account in Cayman Islands. This jurisdiction is used primarily for companies to open offshore accounts. An important aspect: if a non-resident intends to register an account in the Cayman Islands, then they do not have the right to operate on the territories of this country. Otherwise, they are required to pay taxes at the rate set for residents of the Cayman Islands.
There are no major taxes for non-residents in the Cayman Islands. Individuals and legal entities do not pay taxes on profits, property, or capital gains. You just need to pay the fees for banking services. On the other hand, the Cayman Islands is considered a gray area in some countries regarding taxation. This fact is important to consider.
