Following a recent charge in Barbadian law there are now no purchase
taxes to be paid. Solicitor’s fees of approximately 1.5% of the purchase price are required to be paid by the investor. Owners have to pay an annual property taxation which is on a tiered basis which acts effectively as the UK equivalent of Council Tax. On sale of the property there is vendor sales tax of 7.5% and the vendor pays 1% stamp duty although negotiations with the buyer could reduce this. There is no capital gains tax to be paid in the UK or Barbados on profits.
