Anyone can own a yacht under the Slovenian flag but only EU nationals may hold the yacht under their personal name, while others would need to hold the yacht through an EU company. It is not required that the owner of the yacht resides in Slovenia or even in the EU. The place of residence of the owner is not relevant at all.
If you are not a European Union citizen, we will set up a European Company for you and you will transfer the ownership of your vessel into this dormant company. As this company is only used for owning a boat you will not need to pay any taxes or do any government filings. A bill of sale will have to be executed, signed and notarized to transfer ownership of your yacht to your new European company. We will make this bill of sale for you or you can make your own.
Anyone can own a yacht under the Slovenian flag but only EU Citizens may hold the yacht under their personal name, while others would need to hold the yacht through an EU company. For all those EU Citizens that are not having currently a legal residence within the EU, we'll provide one in Spain or Italy at no extra cost to them.
If you are not a European Union citizen, we will set up a "dormant" European Union (in the Republic of Ireland) Company for you and you will transfer the ownership of your yacht in this dormant company. As this company is only used for owning a boat, you shall not need to pay any taxes or do any government filings. A Bill of Sale will have to be executed, signed, and notarized, to convey ownership of your yacht to your new European company. We will make this Bill of Sale for you or you can make your own.
In the above context, we can provide the following three options:
1. Irish Limited Company (dormant) with an EU resident owner – where the asset owner is an EU resident and acts as both director and shareholder in the company
2. Irish Limited Company (dormant) with a non-EU resident owner – where the asset owner is a non-EU resident, thus an EU resident proxy nominee director is added into the structure. A non-EU owner acts as the shareholder
3. Irish Limited Company (dormant) with complete nominee structure – for additional privacy, we are adding a nominee shareholder as well as the nominee director and declare the nominee shareholder to the www.rbo.gov.ie as the ultimate beneficial owner
Applicable costs for the above three different options (first year / second & subsequent years):
1. Option #1 - 950.00 EUR / 750.00 EUR
2. Option #2 - 1,650.00 EUR / 1,600.00 EUR
