Key Benefits

A qualifying insurance company will receive the same benefits that an exempt insurance company receives, but will get the additional benefits as follows:

  • While the exempt insurance company is not subject to tax, a qualifying insurance company is subject to tax. However, Barbados has a tax credit system and based on the level of premium originating outside of CARICOM, it can reduce the tax payable on general insurance business to 2.8% of taxable income and on life insurance business to 0.35% of gross investment income.
  • Full access to Barbados tax treaties.
