How You Can Benefit Most From Belize’s Expat Retirement Scheme
If you want to live tax-free in a stunning Caribbean paradise, the Belize retired persons incentive program might be ideal…
Published in: Living in Belize - Tue, August 16, 2011
Belize has long been on the radar for American citizens looking for a new place to live abroad. It ticks many boxes for them as it’s accessible easily, swiftly and relatively cheaply, they speak English in Belize and because the cost of living is low whilst the standard of living can be high.
Belize has not been on the radar for many Britons however, in part because it’s just so tricky to get to from the UK! We want to introduce you to the benefits of the nation however, and talk about recent developments that may affect the tax-friendly Belize Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Program (QRP for short).
If you’re over the age of 45 you can potentially benefit from the many advantages of this program. But despite how simple it appears to be to apply and benefit, those living in Belize under the scheme have some complaints! Equally, some choosing the scheme as a means to enter Belize and live tax-free are allegedly flouting the rules of this already generous program…which could affect its future.
