Grenada

Citizenship by Investment Program

Grenada’s Citizenship by Investment Programme was launched in August 2013, and came into force following the Grenada Citizenship by Investment Act, 2013.

The Citizenship by Investment Act has been amended four times since then, the last time being on April 1, 2019.

Notable new amendments include:

1. The Real Estate Investment was reduced to USD 220,000 per share from $350,000 , jointly or co-investing in a $440,000 unit.
2. Removal of permanent residence as a pre-requisite for citizenship.
3. Dependent children between the ages of 18 and 30 no longer need to be enrolled at an institution of higher learning
4. Parents or grandparents over 55 years no longer need to be fully supported.
5. Secondary purchasers of CBI real estate units in approved real estate projects can acquire citizenship.

Under this program, individuals, and their dependents, making a donation or investing in real estate, may become Grenadian citizens.

The Grenadian passport is the only Caribbean passport that offers visa free entry to China, The UK and EU Schengen Area.

Taxes

Becoming a Grenadian citizen, does not automatically mean becoming a tax resident. To be a tax resident, an individual must spend at least 183 days a year within the country. Tax residents and non-residents are subject to tax on their Grenadian-source income.

The first XCD24,000 of Grenadian-source income is subject to a personal income tax rate of 10%, rising to 30% on income exceeding this amount. Capital Gains are not subject to taxation.

Grenada has not enacted Controlled Foreign Companies Rules. This means that income retained in a foreign entity owned by a tax-resident may not be subject to taxation.

Property tax ranges from 0% to 0.5% depending on the use of the property. Transfers of real property are subject to a tax from 5% up to 15%, depending whether it is sold to a resident or to a non-resident. Value-added tax (VAT) in Grenada is 15%. There are no inheritance and net wealth taxes in Grenada.

Regarding corporations, a resident company is subject to a flat tax rate of 30% on its worldwide income. However, companies incorporated under the International Companies Act are fully tax-exempt. International Companies are entitled to do business outside the territory and benefit from almost non-existent accounting requirements and maximum confidentiality.
