IV. EXCISE TAX
The world of taxation is a tapestry woven with diverse threads, and excise tax is one such intricate strand that intricately impacts specific goods and services. Tobacco, alcohol, sugar-sweetened beverages, and fossil fuels are among the focal points of this indirect taxation approach. Excise taxes serve a multitude of purposes, from revenue generation to addressing externalities and discouraging the consumption of potentially harmful products. Let us embark on a journey to dissect and compare the excise tax systems of five Caribbean nations: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Grenada. We’ll delve into the latest data available in 2023, illuminating the unique features that distinguish each nation’s fiscal strategy.
Antigua and Barbuda:
Antigua and Barbuda’s excise tax framework covers alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, petroleum products, and motor vehicles. The rates are not uniform and depend on the product type and quantity. For example, beer is taxed at 60% of the cost price, while cigarettes face an excise tax of EC$6 per pack of 20. Motor vehicle rates range from 15% to 70%, contingent on engine size and vehicle age.
Dominica:
Dominica’s excise tax landscape includes alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, petroleum products, motor vehicles, and environmental charges. Rates are influenced by product specifics.

Grenada’s expansive list reflects its commitment to health concerns and recovery efforts, while other nations may prioritize different fiscal objectives. The excise tax systems of these nations underscore the unique strategies each adopts to navigate their financial and societal landscapes.
V. PROPERTY TAX
Property tax is a levy imposed by the government on the value of real estate or immovable property. It is one of the main sources of revenue for many countries, especially in the Caribbean region. However, property tax rates and rules vary significantly among different Caribbean countries, depending on their economic, social and political factors. In this blog post, we will compare the 2023 property tax system in five Caribbean countries: Grenada, Dominica, St Lucia, Antigua and Barbuda, and St Kitts and Nevis. We will cover the following aspects:
- Property tax rates
- Property tax base and valuation
- Property tax exemptions and exclusions
- Special features of property tax system
Property Tax Rates
The property tax rate is the percentage of the property value that is charged as tax. It can be a flat rate or a progressive rate that increases with the value of the property. The table below shows the property tax rates for residential and commercial properties in the five Caribbean countries.
Table 6 Property Tax rates
Country | Residential Property Tax Rate | Commercial Property Tax Rate |
Grenada | 0.2% | 0.4% |
Dominica | 0.20% | 0.40% |
St Lucia | 0.25% | 0.50% |
Antigua and Barbuda | 0.20% | 0.40% |
St Kitts and Nevis | 0.25% | 0.50% |
Please note that these are just general rates and may vary depending on the specific circumstances. For example, there may be additional deductions or exemptions available for certain categories of properties, such as hotels or apartment buildings. It is always best to consult with a tax advisor to get the most accurate information.
Property Tax Base and Valuation
The property tax base is the value of the property that is subject to taxation. It can be based on the market value, the rental value, the cost of construction or a combination of these methods. The property tax valuation is the process of determining the property tax base using various techniques and data sources.
In Grenada, Dominica, St Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda, the property tax base is based on the market value of the property, which is the price that a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller in an open market. The market value is determined by professional valuers using sales comparison, income capitalization or cost approaches.
In St Kitts and Nevis, the property tax base is based on the rental value of the property, which is the amount of rent that a tenant would pay to a landlord for occupying the property. The rental value is determined by professional valuers using market data and analysis.
Property Tax Exemptions and Exclusions
Property tax exemptions and exclusions are provisions that reduce or eliminate the property tax liability for certain types of properties or owners. They are usually granted for social, economic or environmental reasons.
In Grenada, Dominica, St Lucia and Antigua and Barbuda, there are various property tax exemptions and exclusions available for:
- Government-owned properties
- Religious properties
- Educational properties
- Charitable properties
- Agricultural properties
- Historical or cultural properties
- Properties below a certain threshold value
In St Kitts and Nevis, there are no property tax exemptions or exclusions available for any type of properties or owners.
Special Features of Property Tax System
Some Caribbean countries have special features in their property tax system that make them more attractive or unique for investors or residents.
In Grenada, there are no taxes on inheritance or capital gains, which means that property owners do not have to pay any taxes when they transfer or sell their properties.
VI. CAPITAL GAINS TAX
Capital gains tax (CGT) is a tax imposed on the profit or gain from the sale or transfer of an asset, such as land, property, shares, or securities. Different countries have varying rules and rates for CGT, and some do not impose it at all. In this blog post, we will compare the CGT regimes of five Caribbean countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. We will focus on the CGT rates and rules for both residents and non-residents as of 2023.
According to latest data, none of these five countries have a specific CGT regime for corporations or individuals. This means that capital gains are either exempt from tax or subject to the normal income tax rates.
There is no CGT on the sale of immovable property in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia. However, there may be other taxes or fees involved in the transfer of property, such as stamp duty, land transfer tax, registration fee, or legal fee. These taxes or fees vary by country and may depend on the value or location of the property.
Another example is the taxation of dividends from shares or securities. Dividends paid by resident companies to resident shareholders are subject to a withholding tax of 10% in Antigua and Barbuda, 15% in Dominica, 10% in Grenada, and 15% in St. Lucia. However, dividends paid by resident companies to non-resident shareholders are subject to a higher withholding tax of 25% in Antigua and Barbuda, 25% in Dominica, 15% in Grenada, and 25% in St. Lucia. In contrast, dividends paid by non-resident companies to resident or non-resident shareholders are generally exempt from tax in these countries. St. Kitts and Nevis imposes a withholding tax of 15% on dividends paid by resident entities to non-residents.
Here’s a table that summarizes the taxation of dividends from shares or securities in the five Caribbean countries mentioned in the text:
Table 7. Withholding tax on Dividends
Country | Withholding Tax on Dividends (Resident Companies to Resident Shareholders) | Withholding Tax on Dividends (Resident Companies to Non-Resident Shareholders) |
Antigua and Barbuda | No | 25% |
Dominica | 0-35% | 15% |
Grenada | 10% to 35 % | 25% |
St. Kitts and Nevis | No | 15% |
St. Lucia | 10 to 25 % | 25% |
As you can see, the withholding tax rate on dividends paid by resident companies to resident shareholders is 0% in Antigua and Barbuda and St. Kitts and Nevis. This means that no tax is withheld on dividends paid to resident shareholders of these companies. However, a 15% withholding tax is applied to dividends paid by resident companies to non-resident shareholders in all five countries.
In the case of non-resident companies, the tax treatment is more complicated. In some cases, there may be no tax withheld on dividends paid to resident or non-resident shareholders. However, in other cases, a withholding tax may be applied. The exact rate will depend on the specific circumstances and the tax treaties between the countries involved.
VII. PAYROLL TAX
Payroll tax is a type of tax that employers and employees pay on wages and salaries. It can include income tax, social security contributions, and other levies depending on the country. Table 8 compares the rates of social security contribution in Antigua and Barbuda with four other Caribbean countries: Grenada, Dominica, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
Table 8 Social Security Contribution
Country | Social Security contribution rate | National Insurance contribution rate | Tax-free threshold |
Antigua and Barbuda | 14% (employee 5.5%, employer 8.5%) | 10% (self-employed) | AWG 30,000 |
Dominica | 12.5% (employee 6.25%, employer 6.25%) | 10% (self-employed) | EC$15,000 |
Grenada | 12% (employee 6%, employer 6%) | 10% (self-employed) | EC$12,000 |
St. Kitts and Nevis | 15% (employee 7.5%, employer 7.5%) | 10% (self-employed) | EC$10,000 |
St. Lucia | 12.5% (employee 6.25%, employer 6.25%) | 10% (self-employed) | EC$15,000 |
While there is no income tax in Antigua and Barbuda, In the 2023 budget statement delivered on February 17th, several amendments to the Payroll Tax were introduced, effective from April 1, 2023. The changes are as follows:
Table 9 changes to Antigua and Barbuda Payroll Tax
Amendment | Details |
Maternity/Paternity Leave | Employers exempt from Employer portion of Payroll Tax for employees on Maternity or Paternity Leave. Tax applicable on Employee portion only. |
Hotels/Bars/Restaurants | Tax concession for Hotels, Bars & Restaurants ends on March 31, 2023. Revised tax portions for returns after April 1, 2023. |
Tax Cap Increase | Taxable remuneration cap raised from $900,000 to $1,000,000 per person. Earnings beyond $1,000,000 not taxed. |
Tax Rate Changes | Employer and Employee tax rates adjusted, varying for different taxpayer categories. |

E-tax and Filing Dates | E-filing required for payrolls ≥ $200,000. Quarterly filing deadlines and grace periods defined for different remuneration periods. |
As we can see, there are significant differences in the payroll tax system among these Caribbean countries. Antigua and Barbuda has the highest income tax rates, but also the highest thresholds. Grenada has the lowest income tax rate, but also the lowest threshold. Dominica has the highest social security contribution rate, while St. Kitts and Nevis has none. These factors may affect the attractiveness of these countries for businesses and workers.
VIII. Environmental Taxes in the Caribbean
Environmental taxes are an important policy tool for addressing the challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, ocean pollution and water scarcity. They can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote the transition to renewable energy, encourage resource efficiency and generate revenues for environmental protection and social development. In this article, we will compare the environmental taxes system in 2023 of five small island states in the Caribbean: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica Grenada, St. Lucia and St. Kitt and Nevis.
The environmental taxes in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St. Lucia are all designed to raise revenue to fund environmental protection and conservation programs. The specific taxes and rates vary from country to country, but they all have the same goal of reducing pollution and protecting the environment.
The environmental taxes in these countries are a relatively new phenomenon, and they are still evolving. However, they have the potential to play a significant role in financing environmental protection and conservation efforts in the Caribbean region.
Here is a comparison of the environmental taxes in the five countries:
Table 10 Environmental Rates and their purposes

IX. INHERITANCE AND ESTATE TAX RATES
Inheritance and estate taxes are subjects of great concern for individuals planning their financial legacies. These taxes are levied on the transfer of assets to heirs or beneficiaries upon the death of the owner. Thus, these taxes can significantly impact the assets passed on to heirs and beneficiaries. The Caribbean is a popular destination for wealthy individuals and families looking to avoid inheritance and estate taxes. There are no inheritance or estate taxes in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Lucia, and St. Kitts and Nevis.
This makes these countries attractive for individuals and families who want to pass on their assets to their heirs without having to pay a significant amount of tax. However, it is important to note that there may be other taxes that apply to the transfer of assets, such as stamp duty and Capital gains tax, etc.
