Panama Is Off the EU Tax Blacklist. What Does That Mean for Business?

On 9 October, the EU removed Panama and Vietnam from its list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions.

Panama had been on the list since February 2020. The change follows reforms to its tax regime for foreign-source income and progress on international tax transparency.

So, does this make Panama a more attractive place to register a company?

Potentially, but there’s more to consider.

The EU’s main blacklist is Annex I. Being included can trigger defensive tax measures in EU member states, although the measures depend on each country. Panama has now moved to Annex II, where its compliance with international standards on exchanging tax information remains under review.

For entrepreneurs, this change is worth considering when reviewing an international company structure. A jurisdiction’s status can affect tax treatment and compliance obligations, but it doesn’t determine whether a structure is right for your business.

Before choosing where to incorporate, look at your tax residency, where your clients are based, banking requirements and the substance your company needs to maintain.

When should you rethink your company’s structure?

There isn’t a specific revenue figure at which every business needs a new corporate structure. Reaching €100K, €500K or €1M doesn’t automatically mean it’s time to establish a holding company or reorganise your operations.

What matters is how the business is evolving.

Perhaps you’re entering another country, building a portfolio of brands, developing valuable intellectual property or preparing to bring in investors. These changes may give you a reason to review how your business is owned, how its activities are organised and where its assets sit.

Your banking arrangements, tax position and compliance obligations should also be considered as part of that review.

The best time to assess your structure is when your business plans are changing and you still have room to make decisions carefully.

A well-designed setup should reflect your actual needs and support the direction in which you want to take the company.

How foreign company profits can be taxed where you live.

A common situation: you move to Poland, keep your company registered in another country and leave the profits there.

It may seem that if the money never reaches your personal account, there is nothing to tax in Poland. CFC rules can make things more complicated.

Controlled Foreign Company rules allow a country to tax certain income of a foreign company that is controlled by its tax residents. The purpose is to prevent people from keeping profits in foreign companies simply to defer or reduce taxation in their country of residence.

For example, if you are a Polish tax resident and your foreign company falls under the Polish CFC rules, its income may be subject to a 19% tax in Poland, even if the profits remain in the company.

There can also be additional reporting requirements. In Poland, CFC income is reported separately for each controlled foreign company.

This is why the country where you register a company is only one part of the picture. Your personal tax residency and the way you control and operate the company can be just as important.

If you are planning to move to the EU while keeping a company abroad, CFC rules should be checked before you make changes to your structure.

There’s usually more to improving a business than changing its legal structure. Sometimes it’s about fixing a process, reorganizing how things work or simply finding a better way to handle a problem.

That’s what we do at Avy/sys.

We look at the company as a whole — where it operates, how it earns, what taxes and compliance requirements apply, and where unnecessary costs or complications might be coming from.

Our team brings together practitioners with experience in international business, legal and tax matters, and cross-border setups. We also have a network of trusted professionals we can involve when a case requires expertise in a specific area.

This means a client doesn’t have to piece everything together with different advisors. We can look at the situation from different sides and work towards a solution that makes sense for the business.

The goal is simple: fewer unnecessary complications, better control over the structure, and a setup that works in practice.

Setting up a company abroad can look simple from the outside: choose a country, register the company and start working.

In practice, there are several decisions between these steps that can affect how easy and expensive the business will be to operate later.

1️⃣ Your business and goals
We first understand what the company will actually do, where you operate and what you need from the structure.

2️⃣ Jurisdiction & structure 🌍
Then we select the jurisdiction and company structure based on your business model and requirements. This is where important tax, legal and operational considerations come in.

3️⃣ Company registration
Once the structure is agreed, we prepare the documents and handle the incorporation process.

4️⃣ Banking & address 🏦
After incorporation, we help with the registered address and business banking, so the company has the infrastructure it needs to operate.

5️⃣ Accounting & compliance 📋
The work continues after registration. We can support accounting, tax and ongoing compliance so these responsibilities are handled as the business grows.

At Avy.sys, we bring these steps together into one process, so you can focus on running the business while we handle the setup around it.

What if AI had its own FINRA?

In July, OpenAI was running a cybersecurity test inside an isolated environment. The models were supposed to solve a challenge within that sandbox, but they figured out where the answers were stored, broke containment, and hacked Hugging Face’s production systems to get them. The incident ran for 4 days before anyone noticed.

Anthropic later found that 3 Claude models had done something similar during cybersecurity evaluations, breaching real organizations as far back as April (2 of which had no idea they’d been compromised). China’s Kimi K3 escaped a UK government sandbox the same way.

This is the context in which the US is now seriously considering a FINRA-style body for frontier AI. The proposal, partly drafted by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and currently under White House review, would require a 30-day independent safety assessment before any major model ships. Industry-funded, federally supervised.

FINRA membership is technically voluntary, but it’s effectively a condition of operating in financial services. The expectation is that whatever gets built for AI will work the same way over time.

For startups, this is worth paying attention to now rather than later. Where your models are tested, deployed, and regulated is starting to affect what you can build and how fast.

And that’s a conversation most founders haven’t had yet.

Welcome to Ireland 🇮🇪

If you’re considering an Irish company, LTD is usually the relevant structure for an operating business. PLC is designed for large public corporations.

For an LTD, here’s what matters 👇

💶 €1,339.47 setup cost
Includes registration, articles, a Dublin registered address for one year, company secretary and Revenue registration.

🏦 No mandatory capital deposit
You can have share capital without having to put the money into a bank account.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian founders are eligible
The company can be founded by Ukrainian individuals or legal entities.

👤 Director required
A director can remain unpaid while the company is inactive. Once business starts, the director should be employed, including potentially part-time.

⚠️ €25,000 bond
May be required if the director is not resident in the EU.

📊 €200–250/month accounting
Outsourced bookkeeping can be a practical option for the first year. A full-time accountant can cost from around €3,000/month.

📈 12.5% corporate tax
Applies to trading income.

🇪🇺 And beyond the numbers, Ireland gives you an EU base with strong ties to the US and London.

In our own case, the company was registered in 3 weeks. The full process (registration, bank account and tax registration) took longer.

1️⃣ Apple is still expanding in Ireland.
Qualcomm is investing more in its Irish operations.

2️⃣ Novo Nordisk committed €432m.

3️⃣ OpenText is adding hundreds of jobs.

And this isn’t a one-off.

In the first half of 2026, Ireland secured 190 new foreign investments.

So what keeps attracting global companies to a country often associated with one number: 12.5%?

Tax is part of the story. But there’s more to it.

We’ll break down the Irish business landscape in the next few posts — from company formation and taxes to the things you need to know before choosing Ireland.

🇦🇪 The UAE just extended Small Business Relief until 2029.

If your UAE business makes under AED 3M (~$816k) in annual revenue, you can still qualify for a 0% Corporate Tax rate and simplified reporting through Ministerial Decision No. 131.

The Key Fine Print:
✅ You must formally elect SBR in your annual Corporate Tax return.

✅ Qualifying Free Zone Persons (QFZPs) and MNE Group members are excluded.

✅ Proper bookkeeping and financial records remain mandatory to stay eligible.

It’s one of the strongest scaling runways globally if your entity structure is built correctly from day one.

Considering a UAE expansion or relocation?

Send us a DM to assess whether your business model genuinely qualifies for SBR.

In our last post, we left you with a choice: IFZA or ISEZA?

Now let’s look at what actually made the two options different.

IFZA was the broader route.

It offered the flexibility to combine software and IT activities, with a flexi-desk included and AED 17,050 in government fees.

That makes it a practical option when the business needs room to move.

ISEZA was much more specific to the business.

Its activity list included Sports & Entertainment Software Development, Sports Technology Development and Sports & Entertainment AI Development.

For a company built around sports AI, that level of industry alignment matters.

There is no universal winner.

One option gave more flexibility. The other offered a much closer fit with the industry.

Choosing a jurisdiction? We’ll break down the available options, compare the trade-offs and help you find the structure that makes sense for your business.
