"Antigua and Barbuda is a prominent offshore jurisdiction in the Caribbean, offering a variety of advantages for company formation. It provides a favorable tax regime with exemptions on certain income types and no capital gains tax, making it an attractive option for businesses seeking tax efficiency. The country's stable economy and strong legal framework create a secure environment for investors. Shareholders are not required to be residents, and English, being the official language, simplifies communication for international enterprises.
