Invest

with PROSPERITY

The Government’s proactive economic growth and development policies are guided by the Bahamas Investment Authority (BIA), which was established to reduce bureaucratic delays for domestic and international investors. Operating from the Office of the Prime

Minister, the BIA has been designated a “one-stop shop” designed to simplify investing in The Bahamas. The BIA serves as the administrative arm of the National Economic Council and Investments Board.

INVESTMENT INCENTIVES

The attractiveness of a low-tax 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 allow exemptions from real property taxes for up to 20 years.

TAX POLICY

The Bahamas has no personal capital gains, estate gifts, or inheritance taxes. There is also no corporate tax unless revenue is derived from within The Bahamas. Having regard to and structured upon the accepted international standards of transparency and tax information exchange, the Government has brought into force the International Tax Cooperation Act, 2010, and concluded more than twenty tax information exchange agreements with major international business and financial partners.

HOTELS ENCOURAGEMENT ACT

This incentive legislation provides for duty-free entry of approved construction materials, furnishings, and fixtures for hotel development, as well as provides for exemption/concession from real property taxes for the first twenty years of operation of a hotel resort. Hotels with as few as four guest rooms on Out Islands and those with a minimum of ten rooms in New Providence qualify for concessions under the Hotels Encouragement Act.
