Overview

Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean with no direct personal taxation. Its tax residency programme lets qualifying high value individuals become tax resident in Anguilla by committing to a fixed annual tax payment, holding local property, and spending time on the island each year. The Government of Anguilla administers the programme.

This is a tax residency status, not a passport. After a period of lawful residence, separate routes toward British Overseas Territories Citizenship may become relevant, but those are governed by their own rules. The figures below are indicative and current as of the date shown.

Qualifying routes

The High Value Resident route requires a fixed annual worldwide tax payment, ownership of qualifying property in Anguilla above a set value, a minimum number of days on the island each year, and a declaration that you are not tax resident elsewhere. The Government of Anguilla publishes the binding conditions.

Timeline

Processing depends on document verification and proof of funds. Applicants should plan for property acquisition, financial checks, and the annual declaration. Confirm the current processing window with the Government of Anguilla.

Indicative costs

The table shows the indicative commitments. The annual tax is payable each year, and applicants are typically asked to show the ability to meet several years of payments. Property and professional costs are additional.

What it unlocks

The programme confers tax residency in a jurisdiction with no income tax, capital gains tax, or inheritance tax. It supports a lifestyle base in the Caribbean within a British Overseas Territory. It is not citizenship, and time spent toward any future citizenship route is governed separately.
