INCOME TAX FOR SAINT CHRISTOPHER AND NEVIS

The Income Tax Act was passed in 1966 and came into force on the first day of January 1967. It made provisions for income tax to be charged on both individuals and corporate entities. Income tax on individuals was abolished in 1980.

There are two Acts which taxpayers need to be familiar with when filing Income Tax Return for corporations. The specific rules on the income that is taxable, as well as the various available deductions and exemptions, are outlined in the Income Tax Act Cap 20.22. The administrative and procedural rules are outlined in the Tax Administration and Procedures Act (TAPA), 2003. This Act specifies the filing deadlines, penalties and interest charges, other fees chargeable for various infractions of tax laws, and other general procedures and processes.
