International Business Options
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.
Looking beyond the overview this article discusses various options found within Barbados' international business regime. These include Barbados holding structures which may be advantageously deployed under the Barbados-China Double Taxation Treaty and segregated account and segregated cell structures.

LEX Caribbean was established in Barbados in 1997. Our vision was to become the first pan-Caribbean law firm providing seamless advice as to the local law of multiple territories in the region. With over 30 lawyers we currently operate from three offices in Trinidad and Tobago (consequent upon a merger in the late 1990's with DeNobriga, Inniss & Co., a leading firm in Trinidad and Tobago which had been founded in 1967), and from single office locations in both Barbados and Jamaica. We have also formed strategic alliances with respected counsel in several other Islands, consolidating our extensive reach throughout the Caribbean. In the pursuit of our vision, we offer expertise in the areas of capital markets, commercial litigation, corporate/commercial law, insolvency and restructuring, international business, project finance and property development and conveyancing to clients conducting local and cross border transactions in the Caribbean. We also advise on international business transactions from Barbados and coordinate advice from other international business jurisdictions throughout the Caribbean. Our breadth and depth of skills and experience enable us to provide intelligent, carefully coordinated multi-jurisdictional advice to regional and international clients.
