Panama Increases Company Registration Fees

by Mike Godfrey, Tax-News.com, New York

27 May 2003

The Government of Panama has increased the annual flat tax (in place of corporation or income tax) paid by companies and foundations from US$150 to US$250. Law No. 61 of 2002 further increases the fine for late payment of the tax from US$30 to US$50.

A company that fails to pay the tax on time will not have competence to enter into legal agreements until the tax and any associated fine is paid. If a company fails twice to pay the tax on time, the fine becomes US$250, and the public register will carry a notation that the company is not in good standing. This notation will be removed within three days of payment of outstanding tax and fines.
