Panama’s Tax Standing
Panama’s Tax Standing
In terms of the region, within which Panama is situated, being that of the Central and Latin American markets, the relative position of Panama in terms of current tax standing as compared to surrounding countries is neither the highest or lowest but rather average as represented by their tax burden being recorded at 16,6% of Gross Domestic Product. Compared to Venezuela at 17%, Bolivia at 20%, Costa Rica at 22,5% and Chile at 21%. Analysts believe that in order to attract more foreign investment this figure should not only be kept in check but should be kept as low as possible, as nothing scares off companies more than exorbitant taxation.
Investors in companies will also consider taxation on the companies concerned, as this has a bearing upon returns, and whilst GDP of a country may not affect companies directly the actual overall production of companies and the country as a whole is considered more important.
