Country details
Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean that is often used for lifestyle-driven relocation and offshore structuring because it does not levy direct taxes such as personal income tax or capital gains tax.
For ordinary residents, the tax picture is defined by the absence of direct taxes (with government revenue relying on indirect taxes and fees). For globally mobile HNWI, Anguilla also offers a formal tax residency route via its High Value Resident / Residence for Tax Purposes program, built around a fixed USD 75K annual payment and a low physical presence requirement.
Immigration and residence permissions are administered locally through Anguilla's immigration and labour authorities. Practical routes typically involve permits linked to work, business activity, or approved residency programs.
As always, the critical practical issue is avoiding tax residency elsewhere. Anguilla can be compelling for those who can genuinely base ties there, but it is not a solution if another country will still treat you as resident under its domestic rules.
