Tax considerations
Antigua & Barbuda does not tax worldwide income, capital gains or inheritance for individuals who are not tax-resident there, and holding the passport does not by itself make you tax-resident. Your position depends on where you actually live and are taxed. We coordinate with qualified tax advisers rather than giving tax advice.
