Andorra has opted for standardization with Europe, but modulating certain distinctive features that not only make us more competitive in the services we offer, particularly in trade and tourism, but also enable us to become one of the most attractive jurisdictions in Europe with respect to the development of investment projects and business initiatives worldwide.
Our new economic model, based on the liberalization of foreign investment, provides a host of international strategic opportunities at both corporate and individual levels, which complemented by a competitive tax framework and exceptional living conditions which will certainly fulfill all expectations.
Within this context of changes there are also great opportunities for those Andorran entrepreneurs that wish to expand their horizons. The new fiscal framework, which not only has permitted Andorra to cease being considered a tax haven but has also created great expectations resulting from the impending double taxation agreements (DTA), opens the path to other jurisdictions where we have set our future goals.
