If you move here

To stop paying tax at home you must live in Bahamas most of the year, have your centre of life there and, if you own a company, run it from there. A tax residency certificate from Bahamas is your best proof.

Note for Spanish nationals: Bahamas is on the Spanish blacklist, so a Spaniard who moves there stays taxable in Spain that year and the next four.

Also check whether an exit tax applies to you and read the tax treaty, if there is one.
