Marshall Islands - NRDC/Other jurisdictions

The Republic of Marshall Islands is located in the Pacific Ocean, in the Micronesia region, and consists of two parallel groups of islands and atolls. The largest island is Majuro, on which the capital of the same name is located.

At different times, the Marshall Islands were a colony of Spain (until 1885), Germany (until 1917), Japan (until 1944). In 1945, they acquired the status of a territory administered by the United States of America, and in 1986 gained full independence. The country is governed by a president who is appointed by the Senate.

The legislative act on the basis of which companies are registered in the Marshall Islands is the Association of Marshall Islands (1990) .

  • FIVECONSULT comment:
    Marshall Islands is a classic tax-free jurisdiction that does not require complex procedures for supporting the company and drawing up its annual reporting. In this jurisdiction, there is also legislation on LLCs (Republic of the Marshall Islands Limited Liability Company Act 1996), and - accordingly - registration of this type of companies is quite possible.
