About Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein is a highly stable microstate between Switzerland and Austria, offering a favorable tax environment, strong financial privacy, and access to both EEA and Swiss economic areas.
Pro-business System
Liechtenstein offers a very attractive tax system for foreign investors, with a maximum personal income tax rate of 20% and a corporate tax rate of 12.5%, which is relatively low in Europe. The company registration process is simple, requiring detailed information about the proposed business and a minimum share capital of 30,000 euros to be provided to the public registry, and typically, company registration can be completed within a few working days.
Market Access to a Large Market:
Liechtenstein is part of the European Economic Area (EEA), which means that it is also part of the European Union single market. Global investors can access the vast European Union market through Liechtenstein.
Highly Industrialized Country:
Liechtenstein is a highly industrialized country, and small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of its economic growth. Approximately 40% of the workforce is employed in the industrial sector, and the manufacturing industry accounts for almost 40% of the country's GDP.
Stable Economy Attracting Foreign Investment:
Liechtenstein has a stable economy and a simple company registration process, but it enforces very strict regulations in banking transactions, far from being a tax haven. The government has recently started investing more in industries such as research and development and new technologies to attract the attention of foreign investors, making Liechtenstein more appealing to young entrepreneurs.
