One-sentence summary Corporate tax: 0% - no corporate income tax on individuals or corporations, resident or non-resident. Personal income tax: 0% - no personal income tax. VAT/consumption tax: correction to a previously stated figure - Anguilla introduced a 13% Goods and Services Tax (GST) effective July 1, 2022, replacing the prior patchwork of a temporary goods tax, accommodation tax, environmental tax, communications tax, and public entertainment levy; it is no longer accurate to say Anguilla has no VAT/GST.

British Overseas Territory; a zero-direct-tax jurisdiction in the Caribbean (though no longer a zero-indirect-tax one, following the 2022 GST introduction).

Tax System

Anguilla has no income tax of any kind, for individuals or companies. Anguilla has no CFC regime, consistent with the absence of an underlying income tax base.

Tax Year & Key Deadlines

Not applicable given the absence of an income tax system.

Corporate Tax Rate

0% - no corporate income tax on individuals or corporations, resident or non-resident.

Personal Tax Rate

0% - no personal income tax. A separate 3% Stabilization Levy applies to employees on remuneration exceeding XCD 2,000 per month, and to employers at 3% of remuneration (capped at XCD 12,000 per month) - this is a payroll-style levy, not an income tax.

VAT / GST Rate

13% standard Goods and Services Tax (GST), introduced July 1, 2022, replacing the temporary goods tax, accommodation tax, environmental tax, communications tax, and public entertainment levy that previously applied. Registration threshold is XCD 300,000 annual turnover. Certain supplies (basic foodstuffs, agricultural and fishery products, manufacturing products, exports) are zero-rated; others (healthcare, prescription drugs, education, insurance and financial services) are exempt. This corrects an earlier, now-outdated "0% - no VAT" claim on this page.

Residency

Per the Income Tax Ordinance (Cap. 185), an individual is a resident of Anguilla for tax purposes if any of the following applies: physical presence in Anguilla for more than 183 days in a calendar year, domicile in Anguilla under common law principles, or ordinary residence in Anguilla indicating a permanent and substantial connection. For entities, residency turns on place of incorporation or management and control - companies incorporated in Anguilla are generally resident, and foreign companies may be deemed resident if managed and controlled there. Given the 0% rate on both personal and corporate income, residency status has limited practical tax consequence beyond eligibility for treaty tie-breaker provisions and international transparency reporting.

Permanent Establishment

Not applicable given the absence of a corporate income tax system.

CFC (Controlled Foreign Company) Rules

There are no CFC rules in place in Anguilla.

Thin Capitalization

No statutory thin capitalization ratio was identified in available sources, consistent with the absence of any corporate income tax base against which such a rule would operate.

Hybrid Entity Rules

Not applicable given the absence of an income tax system.

Foreign Bank Account / Foreign Financial Asset Reporting

No foreign bank account or foreign financial asset reporting regime exists requiring residents to separately disclose foreign accounts - consistent with the absence of an income tax system generally, there is no annual tax return through which such disclosure would occur.

Participation Exemption

Not applicable given the absence of an income tax system.

Foreign Tax Credit

Not applicable given the absence of a domestic income tax against which foreign tax could be credited.

Treaty Network

Anguilla has entered into 16 Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs) - not full double tax agreements - with Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Faroe Islands, France, Finland, Germany, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, per GSL. This is worth distinguishing clearly from a "tax treaty" in the comprehensive-DTA sense: one lower-quality source describes an "Anguilla-United Kingdom tax treaty" with a residency tie-breaker rule, but the more specific GSL source lists the UK relationship as a TIEA (information exchange) rather than a comprehensive double tax agreement - given Anguilla's 0% direct tax rates, a full DTA providing double-tax relief has limited practical purpose in any event. No US tax treaty exists.
