Curaçao company formation: BV or NV, tax, prices and limits
Curaçao attracts with its tax rates and its Dutch-based framework. Here is what our page records — legal forms, register, tax, prices — and, just as important, what it cannot yet establish.

BV or NV
In Curaçao you set up a besloten vennootschap (BV) or a naamloze vennootschap (NV). Book 2 of the Curaçao Civil Code governs both; every company is entered in the Chamber of Commerce's commercial register, which is public — a source still to be checked according to our review.
The tax recorded
Our review records a profit tax of 15% up to ANG 500,000 of profit, then 22% above, since 2023 — to be checked with the tax authority, as the source is a press article.
A foreign company changes nothing to your personal tax as long as your tax residence does not genuinely change: see our tax residence service.

What the page cannot yet establish
The usual capital and the incorporation time are not established by our review. Banking access and substance are assessed at the interview: no bank is promised on the strength of a survey, and substance and compliance requirements are reinforced.

How we work
Everything starts with a free 20-minute call, then a firm quote before signature. The file is executed by a local correspondent or our own team, named before signature.
Nothing here is tax or legal advice: every situation, and every figure on this page, is checked case by case before anything is signed.
