Income tax on the published 2026 rules. Social contributions, most deductions and treaties are not modeled. Non-US single filer. Enter your own income, exit, passports, and family to see where Anguilla ranks for you.
The capital whose yearly withdrawal, at 4%, pays for a year here after Anguilla's tax on the gain part of each sale: 0% on a resident's listed securities, with half of each sale counted as gain.
Two routes that do different things. The High Value Resident program sells a fixed annual tax bill of US$75K in place of all other taxation, committed for 5 years, with US$400K of local property and 45 days a year on the island. Permanent residence by investment runs from a US$150K contribution or US$750K in real estate held 5 years. After 5 years actually living on the island, with no more than 450 days away, the Governor may grant British Overseas Territories citizenship, and a BOTC can then apply to register as a British citizen. Both steps are discretionary. Residence alone does not break your home country tax position. Anguilla sits on Annex I of the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions, still there at the 09.10.2026 update, which in practice means heavier bank due diligence on European money.
