The Principality of Liechtenstein is a state in the west of central Europe, bordering Austria and Switzerland. The capital is the city Vaduz.
Liechtenstein is considered one of the smallest countries in Europe. A stable political and economic system, favourable investment conditions and tax benefits attract foreign investors and make Liechtenstein one of the financial centres of Europe.
Maira Consult recommends using companies registered in Liechtenstein for asset management, investment activities, international trade, as well as holdings and family trusts.
Liechtenstein recognizes a legal entity as its tax resident if it is controlled and managed from the territory of the Principality, and if the legal entity is registered in Liechtenstein. The income of a legal entity derived from any type of business activity, as well as from capital gains and passive investments, is subject to taxation.

Liechtenstein law provides for several forms of business establishment: joint-stock company (AG), limited liability company (GmbH), trust (Anstalt), foundation (Stiftung).
The name of the company must include a word or abbreviation indicating its legal form, such as “GmbH” or “AG”.
The minimum authorized capital for a GmbH is CHF 30,000, and there is a mandatory requirement to pay it.
At least one individual who is a resident of Liechtenstein is required.
The requirement is the presence of at least one individual or legal entity, without restrictions on residency.
Registered GmbH companies must prepare and submit financial statements every year.
The corporate tax rate is 12.5% and the minimum tax amount for a GmbH is CHF 1800. VAT is charged at the standard rate of 8.1%.
The state register is open and public information about the director, shareholders and the amount of the company's authorized capital is available. Information on the beneficiaries of a GmbH is also freely available.
Before registering a company in Liechtenstein, you need to submit a request to the Commercial Registry to check the availability of the name. After its approval, the preparation of corporate documents begins. The most popular form of incorporation is a limited liability company (GmbH).
At this stage, you need to provide information about the authorized capital and the scope of the GmbH. Each member is also required to provide a passport and proof of residence (e.g., a utility bill).
Before the company is registered in the Liechtenstein Commercial Register, a shareholders' meeting is held in the presence of a notary in Liechtenstein and the constituent documents are signed. Then GmbH bank account is opened and the amount of the share capital is deposited. After the bank confirms that the amount of the share capital has been credited, documents for the registration of the GmbH are submitted to the Commercial Registry. It is possible to register a company in Liechtenstein remotely (registration actions are carried out by a lawyer on the basis of a power of attorney).
At least 50% of the authorized capital must be paid in before the registration process begins.
The process of company registration generally takes 3-4 weeks from the date of receipt of the required set of documents and depending on the workload of the Commercial Register.
As soon as a company in Liechtenstein is registered, the Commercial Registry issues ready-made corporate documents with the appropriate stamps.
If necessary, the company's documents are sent for legalization and apostille.
The originals of the company's corporate documents are sent by courier service.
