The Bahamas: Taxation
A tax-neutral platform and a reputation as a sophisticated international financial centre make The Bahamas an attractive destination for investors - whether corporate entities or high net worth individuals - who wish to manage their wealth using fully compliant and transparent structures.
The Bahamas has no tax on personal income, corporate profits, capital gains, inheritance, dividends, sales, or goods and services.
With no tax on income, the Bahamian government raises revenue through a variety of other taxes and fees, including real property taxes, stamp tax on real estate sales and mortgages and other instruments, business license fees, gaming taxes, hotel occupancy taxes, port taxes and departure taxes. All goods imported into the country are subject to customs duties and stamp taxes. We regularly assist our Clients to obtain up-to-date duty and stamp tax rates.
