Most frequently, the following forms of incorporation are registered in Canada:
- Limited partnerships;
- Limited liability partnerships;
- corporations.
The first two types of entrepreneurship are the easiest versions of an offshore company in Canada. Both types of firms do not require partners to be residents, reporting submission as well as payment of the charter capital. They do not pay taxes, if they gain profit outside the country. The only difference between them is the type of partnership. To set up a limited partnership, you should register at least one General Partner and one limited liability partner. At the same time, the General Partner will be liable for the entire business, while other partners will bear responsibility only for the part they contributed.
Founders of limited liability partnerships have the same status and are responsible for their contribution portion.
Unlike partnerships, corporations shall submit reporting and pay taxes. However, no requirements for the charter or issued capital as well as for directors residency are filed to them. Moreover, no taxes on salaries of the non-resident employees shall be paid.
