Activity-Based Taxation
St Vincent taxes companies based on their activities and connection to St Vincent. Companies within the domestic tax net are generally subject to corporate income tax at 28%. There is no automatic tax-free status; some companies fall within St Vincent tax and reporting, and tax may also arise where owners reside or where activities take place.
Indirect Charges
Government and annual fees apply. VAT applies at a standard rate of 16% to St Vincent-connected supplies, with registration generally required once annual taxable sales pass the current threshold of about XCD 300,000. Many companies trading outside St Vincent have limited local VAT obligations. The current position should be confirmed.
Economic Substance
Companies carrying on relevant activities may have economic-substance obligations, including local presence and reporting. Whether these apply depends on the company's activities.
Beneficial Ownership
St Vincent operates a beneficial-ownership regime. Companies must maintain and report beneficial-ownership information in line with applicable rules.
Annual Fees & Returns
Companies pay annual government and registered-agent fees to remain in good standing, and file returns as applicable. Deadlines apply each year.
Accounting Records
Companies must keep proper accounting records and underlying documentation sufficient to explain their transactions and financial position, and file where required.
