Can North American Governments investigate my investment activities in Ecuador?
Yes and No. Ecuador is sovereign nation that does not have a tax treaty with the USA or Canada. However Ecuador will co-operate with these countries if there is sufficient evidence that a person or entity has been involved in criminal activities and/or money laundering. Ecuador has modern offshore banking legislation, including a drug anti money laundering act, which is designed to repel illicit monies and persons from using our offshore protectionism. A legitimate foreign investor can invest in Ecuadorian property through offshore instruments and enjoy all of the benefits of complete offshore privacy.
