Tax and compliance

Resident treatment: Bahamas Investment Authority (official government investment portal) states The Bahamas has no taxes on income, corporate earnings, capital gains, inheritance, or dividends; therefore personal income tax is treated as 0% for residents. Non-resident treatment: the same no-personal-income-tax regime applies generally, so non-resident personal income is not subject to a separate PIT regime. Assumptions: no PIT residency day-threshold was found because PIT is not levied; value set to null. Confidence: medium (official government pages clearly support no PIT and indirect-tax structure, but no single consolidated personal tax code page was identified in this run).
