I heard from a colleague that getting Antigua citizenship might mean no income tax, but I’m not fully sure how it works. He told me he moved there a few years ago and said it changed his whole financial situation. I’m considering it myself, but before taking any steps, I’d like to know if it’s really true that there’s no personal income tax at all with Antigua citizenship. Has anyone here gone through the process or experienced it personally?

Reading this thread reminded me of a conversation I had while traveling in the Caribbean. A couple sitting at the café told me about how different countries in the region handle taxes, and it surprised me how much it varies. Some places have VAT or other indirect taxes instead of income tax, while others have mixed systems. I’m not planning to apply for citizenship anywhere, but it’s interesting to see how people weigh financial factors alongside lifestyle choices. It makes sense that for some, the appeal isn’t just about saving money but also about living in a completely different environment.
When I started looking into Antigua a couple of years back, I had the same question. From what I’ve learned and experienced, Antigua doesn’t impose personal income tax the way many countries do, which was a huge plus for me. I actually came across a clear breakdown here: antigua citizenship — it helped me understand the legal side without confusion. When I relocated, it felt strange at first not filing the usual yearly income reports. For me, the bigger benefit was the lifestyle change: island living plus financial relief. Still, it’s important to plan properly, since you’ll still need to think about taxes in your home country, at least until you fully change your residence status.
