Aruba is a small (75 sq m) island off Venezuela with a population of
approx. 100,000. Aruba is an associated territory of the EU. The Aruban
economy is very open and is highly dependent on tourism and offshore
financial services. Local taxes are quite high for residents, but there
is a well-developed offshore sector which originated in World War Two as
a haven for Dutch companies fleeing the German occupation of the
Netherlands.
A New Fiscal Framework introduced alongside a new Dutch Tax Treaty
(BRK) in response to international pressure as from 1st July 2003
abolished the distinction between offshore and onshore companies, but
installed a generous participation exemption scheme which in effect
maintains previous tax privileges for non-Aruban business activities.
