Company registration
Every business starts with an idea. But sooner or later, any entrepreneur must register a company in their country or abroad in order to embody ideas and carry out activities legally. However, sometimes it is necessary to incorporate a new legal entity not only for those who start entrepreneurship but also for those who have been doing this for a long time. For example, you need a new holding with other classes of activities in order to introduce a new kind of business. Or register a subsidiary enterprise, branch, or representative office in another country to enter the transnational market.
Each state has its own rules for citizens and foreigners wishing to start a business. Sometimes a person can change jurisdiction due to new perspectives, tax benefits or simplicity of doing business, and lack of bureaucracy. The goals are different for everyone, but the meaning is the same. To work in the legal field, you need to register with the state as a company and officially pay taxes.

In the international sense, the process of company registration implies the inclusion of a unique record in the State Register of Legal Entities. To register a company, the applicant (usually the owner himself or his authorized representative) submits an application for the signup of a new legal entity.

Should I need to pay taxes for company registration?
In many jurisdictions, you must pay a state duty in the prescribed amount when registering a new legal entity. However, this is not a tax. The company becomes a full-fledged taxpayer only after completing the registration procedure and is registered with the tax office of their country. Taxation depends on the type of activity, source of income, and many other factors.
To register my company, it is frequently essential to deposit the authorized capital into a bank account. This is required to prove the company’s trustworthiness. The riskier the activity is planned (for example, the banking or financial sector), the higher the amount paid. The difference between the authorized capital and the duty is that the duty is paid to the state and is non-refundable, even in case of refusal. While the authorized capital remains on the account, it can be utilized for development and investments.
