Anguilla offers a tax residency route for high net worth individuals through a fixed annual payment and a property holding. As a British Overseas Territory, it carries particular nuances for British nationals, which this page sets out.
Information, not advice. Figures are indicative and current as of June 2026. Always confirm the present rules with the official program authority and a licensed professional before you act.
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory and runs a residence framework that includes a High Value Resident route focused on tax residency. British nationals can apply. One nuance matters for British applicants. The permanent residence route can lead over time to British Overseas Territories Citizenship and onward to British citizenship, so for someone who already holds British citizenship the appeal is the tax residency and lifestyle rather than a new passport.
Confirm your eligibility and the current conditions with the official authority.
The High Value Resident route is built around a fixed annual tax payment to the Treasury rather than a tax on actual worldwide income, combined with maintaining a qualifying property and a minimum physical presence. A separate residence by investment route exists for those seeking permanent residence through property or a contribution.
Anguilla levies no income tax, no capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and no corporate tax, which is the core of the route's appeal. Confirm the current thresholds and conditions with the official authority.
The High Value Resident route asks for a multi year commitment, reported at five years, with the fixed annual amount paid each year. Approval follows due diligence on the applicant and confirmation of the qualifying property.
Confirm the current commitment period and processing time with the official authority.
The headline figures reported are a fixed annual payment to the Treasury and ownership of qualifying property above a set value, alongside a minimum number of days spent in Anguilla each year. Government, due diligence and professional fees sit on top.
