Grenada’s new income tax regime has officially taken effect, the government announced Wednesday.
The new tax laws have lowered the country’s income tax threshold.
According to the new regime, the first $8,889 USD of chargeable income is taxed at a rate of 15 percent, with any amount in excess of that taxed at a rate of 30 percent.
Chargeable income means any income over $1,111 per month or $13,333 per year.
The government said that means that people who earn up to $1,111 per month or $13,333 per year will not pay income tax, as that first $13,333 is not chargeable.
For companies, the rate is 30 percent, according to the new regime.
Grenada has embarked on what Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell has called a “homegrown economic programme” to improve the fiscal situation in the Eastern Caribbean country.
