Security of Foreign Investment, Land Ownership and Applicable Tax Rates

by Adam Taylor
(Santa Cruz)

I haven't had any experience yet, but am looking to someone who has.

I cannot seem to get a straight educated - or referenced - answer from anyone, and each piece of advice I am given seems to be slightly different from the previous advice.

Can anyone shed some light on these issues:

Foreign Ownership Law
Land Ownership and Clear Title for Foreigners
Security of Foreign Investment
Applicable Tax Rates for Foreign Investors and/or Companies doing business in Bolivia.

Also, if there are any reference sites or publications that you could recommend it would be greatly appreciated.

I see a lot of opportunity in the 'New Bolivia', in particular, Santa Cruz.

I hope that I can provide supporting evidence for the above concerns that allows me to be able to do business with some of you n the future.

I would appreciate any help or direction that you may be able to provide.

Regards

Adam Taylor
