Nevis Exempt Trust Structure

A Nevis trust constitutes a private fiduciary contract or “Deed of Trust” between the Settlor or Founder of the trust on one side, and the Доверительный управляющий on the other side. Other stakeholders are one or more Beneficiaries, and optionally a Протектор. This relationship is formalised by a written and duly witnessed or notarized Trust Deed.

В settlor establishes the trust by transferring assets to the trustee, who manages them for the benefit of the beneficiaries.

Appointed by the settlor, the Trustee(s) upholds the Settlor’s wishes as expressed in the Deed of Trust: safeguarding the trust, managing assets, and prioritising the beneficiaries’ interests. The principal Trustee responsible for administration must be either a Nevis trust company, or a Nevis legal entity. Additional trustees may be appointed with specific responsibilities, for example Investment Management, and they may be located in any part of the world.

A Протектор supervises the trust’s operations, ensuring the trustee adheres strictly to the Trust Deed. The Protector typically has the authority to appoint or dismiss trustees, acting in the beneficiaries’ best interests. The Protector may be either a lay person such as a family friend, or an independent professional.

Beneficiaries are the individuals receiving advantages and benefits from the trust, governed by terms specified by the settlor in the Deed of Trust.

В Трастовый договор itself outlines the trust’s objectives, trustee and protector responsibilities, and conditions for distributing assets to beneficiaries.

A settlor may also be a beneficiary.

Ключевые преимущества траста в невисе

Защита активов

Nevis’ offshore asset protection legislation is designed to proactively deter litigation.

  • Закон, регулирующий благотворительность, также известный как Статут Элизабет, не применяется к трастам Невиса, поэтому передача имущества не может быть аннулирована в отношении будущих неизвестных кредиторов.
  • Кредитор, желающий аннулировать траст, должен подать иск в Невисе и внести значительный залог до начала судебного разбирательства. Для суда требуется большое количество доказательств, и зачастую это нереально выполнить.
  • Иностранные судебные решения не применяются к трастам Невиса.
  • Двухлетний срок давности по искам о мошеннической передаче.

Tax Neutrality

A Nevis Trust offers significant advantages. One of them is the fact that the trust is completely exempt from Nevis taxes. Tax may be due in other jurisdictions, of course, and professional advice should be sought in jurisdictions of citizenship and residence of the principal stakeholders.

  • Nevis Trusts may be structured as private or family investment vehicles.
  • The trust deed is not filed with the Registry. The Confidential Relationships Act makes it a criminal offense to disclose confidential information of a business or professional nature, including information about Nevis trusts. All non-criminal legal proceedings related to the international trust will be held privately (in camera).
  • Отсутствие необходимости подачи отчетности или годовых деклараций.
  • Absolutely no Nevis tax on profits, income, dividends or capital gains.
  • Трасты Невиса могут играть важную роль в планировании наследства, позволяя учредителям передавать активы в траст, что потенциально снижает налоги на имущество после их ухода из жизни.
  • Depending on the terms outlined in the Trust Deed, a Nevis Trust can exercise discretion in making distributions to beneficiaries who may be under duress.
  • The Nevis trust may be decanted into separate trusts for individual beneficiaries in the future.
  • Nevis trusts may hold all asset classes such as stocks, bank cash balances, real estate, crypto, precious metals etc.
  • A Nevis trust may create one or more LLCs through which to operate.

Switzerland, London, New York and Singapore remain popular choices for larger clients, and contrary to what you might read on the internet, banks in these countries do open accounts for Nevis trusts and CBI passport holders. Other popular jurisdictions include Canada, Belize, and Barbados, where minimum opening deposits and balances are lower. The Bahamas are particularly good where the source of funds is crypto.

As always, each case is different, but rest assured we at NTL Trust have spent years developing strong banking connections in order to make things as easy as possible for our clients. We can discuss international banking for Nevis Trusts on an exploratory call.

A Nevis Trust may be created by citizens of any country in the world that is not subject to applicable economic sanctions. A St. Kitts and Nevis passport holder may therefore set up an exempt Trust. The key restrictions are as follows:

  • A Nevis trust may not have a settlor nor beneficiaries that are resident in Nevis.
  • The trust assets may not include real property situated in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Setting up a trust in a foreign country requires specialist advice. We recommend you consult with a lawyer in your home country who is familiar with international tax matters and asset protection.
