Annual Law's Firms Resident Agent Fees

This shall serve as a guide to clarify the annual resident agent fees for your corporation and/or foundation. The law of Professional Legal Services of Panama, authorizes Panamanian law firms to charge annual fees for resident agent, nominee directors, registered office and corporate administrative fees.

To keep a corporation or foundation in good standing with our law firm, each entity must pay an annual fee of US$450 per year, which is broken down as follows: US$300 for resident agent/office & US$150 for nominee directors.

Our law firm's annual fees are due each year, starting one year from the date of incorporation. Payment of our law firm's annual fees may be paid by any of the methods mentioned below.


Annual Corporate Franchise Tax

This shall serve as a guide to clarify the annual government corporate franchise taxes for your corporation and/or foundation.

To keep a corporation or foundation in good standing with the Panamanian Government, each entity must pay a flat annual tax of US$250 to the Panamanian Government ( Public Registry) in concept of corporate franchise taxes since the date that the entity was incorporated.

If the corporate franchise taxes are not paid, the Public Registry will not permit any changes to the entity at the Public Registry, and will not allow you to obtain any Certificates of Incorporation for the entity, which are generally required by financial institutions from time to time, as part of their due diligence procedures/policies.

According to Panamanian Law, the government corporate franchise tax payment deadlines are based on the Incorporation date, as follows;

Incorporation Date Tax Payment Deadline

1 January to 30 June 30 June
1 July to 31 December 31 December


Late Payment Penalty:

If the flat annual government corporate franchise tax ("tasa unica") is not paid on or before the due dates mentioned above, the entity will be charged a late penalty of US$50.00.

Second Late Payment Penalty:

If the flat annual corporate franchise tax ("tasa unica") is not paid after the second "deadline" period, the entity will be charged a second late penalty of US$250.00. For every additional "deadline" period missed thereafter, a US$250 late fee will be incurred.
