Guatemala has excellent anonymous corporations, which serve as an excellent anonymous offshore.

Introduction to Guatemala Incorporation

These corporations are referred to as S.A. or Sociedad Anonima. These types of corporations are also referred to as bearer share corporations in that the person who has possession of the bearer shares has the control of the corporation. Control can also be accomplished through the use of a General Power of Attorney, which we can readily provide.
The bearer shares can be kept anywhere in the world and can be made out in blank, or in the name of a natural person, or a corporation, foundation or trust. There is no requirement to report transfers of the shares. The names of the owners of the Guatemala S.A. Corporation do not appear in any public registry and the government of Guatemala does not know who owns the corporation.

CUTINO International / C.I provides nominee directors whose names appear in the public registry. The nominee directors are trusted persons who do not know anything about you or your affairs. Nominee directors cannot cause you any harm or damages. Banks will not add, delete or change any signatories on any bank account without permission in writing of the existing signatories. Banks do not want to be sued for bank fraud. Nominees generally do not even know the account number of any bank account.

Guatemala Exchange of Information

Guatemala has no treaties that provide for any exchange of information for tax matters. Guatemala has no tax treaties of any sort.
No EU with holding tax, no double taxation treaties, no tax information sharing agreements, no nothing. Guatemala has no provision for exchange of information in any criminal tax matters as well.

Guatemala Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties

None. This does not mean that Guatemala will not cooperate with another government in a major criminal case. Guatemala would be likely to cooperate in cases involving: murder, kidnapping, child abduction, abuse of children, genocide and terrorism.

Guatemala does not support frivolous litigation regarding fraudulent conveyance of funds going into the Guatemala Bank account. Such an action in Guatemala brought by foreigners from another country claiming that funds were moved into Guatemala to place them out of the reach of creditors from another country would have practically no chance of success in Guatemala. There is no cooperation in Guatemala on the collection of judgments from other countries. Couples this with Latin American #1 power broker law firm, CI and there exist 99.99% change of any outside government or other cannot win.

Guatemala Extradition

The extradition laws that Guatemala, Costa Rica and others Latin America Nations has are vague and hard to get enforced. With a secured immigration status in the country like a citizenship, extradition is not something one should expect from Guatemala. Extradition is a rare occurrence in Guatemala. This paragraph was inserted to give one a look at how Guatemala operates internationally. To get a bullet proof citizenship talk to your CI attorney.
