Tax residency in Barbados
For Barbados personal income tax purposes, an individual is resident for a year of income (calendar year) if they are ordinarily resident in Barbados during that year or if they are physically present in Barbados for 183 days or more in aggregate in that year; days of arrival and departure are included, and presence may be continuous or spread over multiple visits. Ordinary residence is determined on the facts and generally means where the person habitually and normally lives as part of the regular order of their life, with relevant indicators including the availability of a home in Barbados, the location of family and personal ties, the pattern and length of stays, and the individual’s settled intentions; temporary absences do not necessarily disrupt ordinary residence.
This summary is general information, not tax or legal advice. Rules change and individual circumstances vary — confirm with a qualified adviser before making decisions.
