MGI Montufar & Asociados produce paper on new accounting requirements in Panama

An important new accounting requirement has been enacted in Panama, which MGI Montufar & Asociados consider to be of interest to all MGI Worldwide members whose Client deal with Panamanian corporations.

Law No. 52 of October 27th, 2016 published in the government’s official gazette No. 28149-B establishes the obligation to maintain accounting records for all offshore Panamanian legal entities and makes various provisions on related issues. 

This new law will take effect from January 1, 2017 and obligates offshore legal entities, i.e. corporations, LLC, private interest foundations or similar structures, to keep accounting records and supporting documentation at the offices of their resident agent within Panama or otherwise at any other place inside or outside Panama as determined by its directors. 

MGI Montufar & Asociados have prepared a short paper with information about this new accounting requirement to help MGI members and their Clients with Panamanian corporations.
