Saint Kitts & Nevis Non-Resident Tax Provisions
Under the Income Tax Act (Cap. 20.22), any resident business or individual making payments to a non-resident individual or foreign entity must deduct withholding tax at source before remitting funds internationally.
Standard Rates & Treaty Concessions
- Standard Statutory Rate: A flat 10% withholding tax applies to non-treaty remittances including technical fees, management advisory charges, loan interest, royalties, and distributed corporate profits.
- CARICOM Double Taxation Treaty: Under the regional CARICOM Double Tax Agreement, qualifying dividends and interest remitted to resident companies in member states (e.g. Trinidad, Barbados, Antigua) are subject to reduced or zero withholding rates.
- Gross-Up Formula: If vendor contracts require that payments be received "net of all local taxes", the St. Kitts payor calculates:
Gross Amount = Net / (1 - 0.10).
