Bahamas
The Bahamas levies no direct taxes, and does not operate an Alien Landholder’s Licence scheme. IBCs are permitted under Bahamian company law.
Property taxes are charged at up to 2% per year based on the value of the property. Stamp duty at rates between 2% and 10% is levied on property transfers, with the seller and purchaser contributing equally to the duty.
The Bahamas is not a signatory to any tax treaty, although it has signed tax information exchange agreements with the USA and the UK.
