International Business
Barbados’ international business offering combines an extensive and expanding tax treaty network (see Double Taxation) and a suite of international business entities afforded low taxation and valuable exemptions from various duties, exchange control and other regulations. A modern legislative framework and a government committed to the continuing evolution of applicable statutes further enhance the sector. The jurisdiction also enjoys a long tradition of transparency and inter-governmental cooperation of information exchange matters. In addition it offers a pragmatic regulatory environment which continues to develop and is currently an area of focus for the Government.
