About the Netherlands Antilles
The Netherlands Antilles consists of two groups of Caribbean islands: Curaçao and Bonaire (50 miles off the Venezuelan coast) and St. Eustatius, Saba and St. Maarten (200 miles east of Puerto Rico).
These islands are an autonomous part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a structure similar to the British Commonwealth. A stable political climate and an attractive fiscal regime make the Netherlands Antilles a favorable place for foreign investors – and to register your ship.
The many benefits of registering your ship in the Netherlands Antilles
A reliable status for your ship
When registered in the Netherlands Antilles, your vessels will fly the prestigious Dutch flag. Port control authorities all over the world recognize this flag as a sign of reliability. This means fewer inspections, which will save you time and inconvenience.
Attractive legal and fiscal benefits
- There are no restrictions on the nationality of your crew
- The legal owner of the ship may be an individual or company from the N.A. or E.U.
- You can choose to pay a low tonnage tax instead of profit tax if you exploit the ship from the N.A. (which we can facilitate for you)
- There are no local unions for seafarers. The only obligation of a ship owner towards crewmembers is to provide adequate accident insurance.
The new tonnage tax method
The new tonnage tax method allows shipping companies to calculate their profits on the basis of a
specified notional profit depending on the net tonnage of the ship. The annual notional taxable
profit per vessel should be calculated on the basis of a sliding scale.
