Vanuatu is situated in a South Pacific location which is about a 3 hours flight from Sydney or Brisbane, almost 3 hours from Auckland, 1.5 hours from Fiji, 1.5 hours from Honiara and 1 hour from New Caledonia. The country has a population of around 307,000, the most ethnically diverse on the planet. The official languages are Bislama which is a type of lingua franca spoken by all as well as English and French. The economy is dominated by tourism however, there is an agricultural industry and just as important is the country’s offshore finance center. There are no income taxes, withholding taxes, capital gains taxes, gift, death, estate, or succession duties applying to companies, trusts, or individuals.
The Republic of Vanuatu is especially unique in the Pacific not only because of its indigenous and traditional ethnic diversity but also its colonial heritage which has resulted in a melting pot of diverse origins coming together in a peaceful and relaxed living environment.
