Samoa is an independent sovereign state in the Central South Pacific, southwest of Hawaii. Up until 1997, it was referred to as Western Samoa.  Local time is six hours behind New York and three hours behind Los Angeles.  The legal system is based on British common law and closely reflects that of other common law jurisdictions.   Samoa has strong diplomatic ties with both Australia and New Zealand.  Its written constitution provides for a three-tier legal system consisting of a Court of Appeal, High Court and Subordinate courts.

In 1987 Samoa enacted the Trustee Companies Act to provide for licensing and regulation of trustee companies.  With this legislation came the International Companies Act 1987; International Trusts Act 1987; Offshore Banking Act 1987; and the International Insurance Act 1987.  Changes occurred in 2005 when the Samoa international Finance Authority Act established SIFA to regulate and promote Samoa as a modern offshore center to the world.

Samoa has a modern telecommunications system with direct dial facilities via satellite. Broadband Internet technology has recently been introduced. Samoa has direct international flights with New Zealand, Fiji, Tonga, Hawaii (via American Samoa) and Los Angeles. The business and official language is English, with Samoan as the second official language.

There are many aspects to Samoa that makes it attractive as the jurisdiction of choice for LLC’s.  The Samoa LLC is based on the US Wyoming legislation and allows a Samoa LLC to be interpreted by the US IRS as a transparent entity for income tax purposes. The Samoa LLC is established under the International Companies Act (“the Act”) of Samoa. The Samoan company offers tremendous advantages to those seeking the asset protection of an offshore company with an offshore bank account. Offshore banking facilities are also available.
