Anguilla offers a tax residency route, the High Value Resident programme, that is open to foreign nationals who pass due diligence, including American nationals. Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory and levies no income tax, capital gains tax, inheritance tax or corporate tax.
Applicants must be at least 18 and must meet the due diligence and property requirements. There is no language requirement.
The High Value Resident route grants tax residency in exchange for a fixed annual tax payment, reported at 75,000 United States dollars a year, with a commitment of at least five years. The applicant must own and maintain property in Anguilla valued above 400,000 United States dollars throughout that time.
There is also a separate Residence by Investment route for permanent residency, reported to start from a 150,000 United States dollar contribution to the Capital Development Fund, or a real estate investment from 750,000 United States dollars. Confirm the current figures with the official authority.
Applications run through Select Anguilla on behalf of the Government of Anguilla, with due diligence and government processing. Treat any quoted period as indicative and confirm current timelines with the official authority.
For the High Value Resident route the headline cost is the fixed annual tax payment, reported at 75,000 United States dollars, plus the property holding above 400,000 United States dollars and due diligence and processing fees. The table sets out the structure and routes the detail to the official authority.
Anguilla does not tax income, but this does not change the United States position. United States citizens remain subject to United States federal tax on worldwide income wherever they are tax resident, because the United States taxes on the basis of citizenship. Anguilla tax residency therefore does not by itself reduce a United States citizen's federal tax. Take licensed tax advice before acting.
