Saint Kitts and Nevis Tax System in 2025: A Complete Guide for Investors, Residents, and Non-Residents
The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) of St. Kitts and Nevis announces that the Value Added Tax (VAT) rate will return to 17% starting July 1, 2025. This follows the end of the temporary lower rate of 13%. The reduced VAT rate was introduced as part of the government’s plan to support the economy and help businesses and consumers. The IRD notes that this temporary reduction had a positive effect on business activity and consumer confidence across the country. There are also no foreign exchange controls, which enables free movement of capital and international transactions. If you’re VAT registered, you must file your VAT return by the 15th day of the month following the reporting period.
