Vanuatu is an archipelago of about 80 islands in the South Pacific known for its volcanic landscapes, coral reefs, tropical beaches and Melanesian culture. An independent republic, Vanuatu is considered an offshore jurisdiction due to its lack of income and capital gains taxes. The economy relies on agriculture, tourism, fishing and offshore financial services. The legal system blends English and French influences, and corporate legislation provides confidentiality and ease of company registration.
