Offshore Finance & Accountancy Jobs in the Netherlands Antilles
The five, far-flung Caribbean islands that make up the Netherlands Antilles, a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, are set to go it alone as individual territories. Under a new political structure, agreed between the islands' leaders and the Dutch government in late 2005, the federation will be dissolved in December 2008.
Offering exquisite beaches and spectacular diving, stunning architecture, activities and adventures for every interest, the Dutch Antilles have been favoured over recent years as a tropical holiday destination. Being an offshore jurisdiction, the islands also offer professionals the chance to trade in western life for an exciting opportunity to work in this utopia.
In the northern group of islands, also known as the Windward Islands, you will find Sint Eustatius, Saba and Sint Maarten and the southern islands, known as the Leeward Islands, are home to Curaçao and Bonaire. The Netherlands Antilles are located just off the Venezuelan coast and southeast of the Virgin Islands with the capital being Willemstad on Curaçao. The temperature varies little throughout the year being 84oF (29oC) in summer and 77oF (25oC) in winter. Flights from the UK take approximately ten hours.
The Netherlands Antilles has no direct tax and this fact, coupled with its proximity to the US, makes it a key financial centre for corporate and personal investors. Professionals in the Netherlands Antilles work under a common-law based legal system and are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
