Bahamas| Amendments to Stamp Act!

NASSAU, Bahamas (May 30, 2012) Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Perry G. Christie signed the Stamp (Amendment) Bill, 2012 to amend the stamp tax on Real Estate transactions over $250,000 to 10%.
The result of the new Stamp (Amendment) Act 2012 is that all real estate transactions over $100,000 will be now be stamped at 10%.

Unfortunately, the new Amendment has no bearing on the tax payable on properties valued at under $100,000.  The tax level remains the same for such properties.

If you require specific advice regarding stamp duties or otherwise, you should consult a Bahamian Real Estate Attorney.  You may contact a Bahamian Real Estate Attorney by clicking here.
