Cozier & Associates will seek reimbursement of all expenses of any nature incurred on behalf of clients or clients’ accounts.

The annual government/legal fees shown are the minimum amounts currently charged in the offices of the Registrar of Trusts and Companies. Nevis government/legal fees are not pro-rated and therefore, depending on the date of formation, payment of two years’ fees may initially be required.
All billings are payable within one month of the date they are rendered failing which interest at the rate of 15% per annum will be applied.

Cozier & Associates reserves the right to amend its fees at any time. Government and legal fees may be increased without notice.
