Great Harbour Cay is no doubt an undiscovered jewel for investors. Real estate prices on the island are among the lowest in the Bahamas and elsewhere in the Caribbean. These low real estate prices, combined with the island's privileged geographic location, low unemployment rate, tax free environment, a stable currency, security, and a vibrant community, generate the perfect ingredients for a valuable investment that will also provide years of enjoyment.
One of the most attractive elements of investing in The Bahamas is the tax-free status accorded to income. There are no taxes levied on capital gains, corporate earnings, personal income, sales, inheritance, or dividends. This tax freedom is available to all resident corporations, partnerships, individuals and trusts. Investors are also attracted to the stability of the economy, which is steadied by the solid value of the Bahamian dollar. This currency is pegged to the US dollar on a 1:1 ratio. US dollars and Bahamian dollars are used interchangeably throughout the island chain.
The inducement of a tax-free environment and a stable currency are enhanced by a series of investment incentives that provide relief from customs duties on approved raw materials, equipment, and building supplies, as well as allowing exemptions from business licenses and real property taxes for up to 20 years.

Stamp Tax on Property Conveyances
The Government Stamp Duty (tax on the conveyance of real property) is a gradual tax. The total amount of the tax is calculated as follows:
Value is less than $100,000 there is no Stamp Tax. Value is $100,000 or greater, the stamp tax rate is 2.5%. All property conveyances will pay a 7.5% Value Added Tax (VAT). The usual practice in the Bahamas is for the tax to be shared equally between buyer and seller unless otherwise agreed upon. Legal fees are calculated based on 5% of property value. Legal fees, as stamp tax, are shared equally between buyer and seller. |
