Why is St. Vincent and the Grenadines a good and safe investment?
In St. Vincent and the Grenadines the market is free and open to everyone and any nationality may purchase and hold land.
International entities registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines are not subject to taxation.
Favorable Tax Laws are common also in the domestic economy.
There is no Capital Gains Tax
No Inheritance Tax
No tax on dividends
Corporate tax ranges from 10 to 35%.
There is freedom to repatriate capital and profits up to USD 100,000. Amounts exceeding that sum require approval before repatriation, which is usually given. There are no exchange controls on current transactions under USD 100,000.
Since the country is a British Dependent Territory, all necessary infrastructures are in place and political stability is ensured.
The Land Registry insures that your title is guaranteed by the Crown and is registered with the government.
A Government planning department oversees building codes and development plans.
Much increased publicity for the islands and in turn a careful and serious approach by the Government and Real Estate Brokers to monitor developments and sustain an ecological, ethical approach to development in the Grenadines.
As a well-established offshore finance centre, all information is held in strict confidence and title to property can be held personally, in your local trust or through your local company.
The Islands are renowned for their sunny climate, friendly people, low crime rate, and as one of the best diving and snorkelling areas in the world.
On main land St. Vincent the construction the international airport has a completion date set for September 2013. The increased access to the Grenadines will inevitably lead to more upscale developments in the Grenadines and increase in land prices. We have investigated the proposed flight path of flights in and out and found that Bequia will not lie in the approach path.
The prestige and leverage that developments on neighbouring islands of Mustique and Canouan and release of low price lands in Bequia have spurred the recent purchase and development of land and luxury villas and high end infrastructures (new bars and restaurants.)

New airports
Brand new International Airport in St. Vincent and the Grenadines will be completed by 2013.
Private Jet airport, Canouan
Canouan Island Jet Airport for the Grenadines has recently opened its extended airport runway: 5900 ft. A joint Airport expansion project between the Government of Saint Vincent and Canouan Resorts Development Ltd has invested millions to make Canouan Island a true private jet airport now allowing aircraft as large as the Boeing 737 and Airbus 320 to land and take off safely.
The first G5 took off from Canouan, fully fuelled to London NON-STOP on March 27th, 2008.

Dermot Desmond Plans $100 million Investment
for a Resort on Grenadines Estate
The Grenadines are in the early stages of 10 year economic boom and this injection of life will certainly make it an exciting time for the buyer of this plot.
The Canouan luxury resort redevelopment plans are back on track as Billionaire financier and Celtic FC backer Dermot Desmond has agreed to partner the redevelopment project under a $100 million agreement. The ultra luxury hotel and complex is located on the sunny island of Canouan which is a part of the Caribbean Grenadine Islands. Desmond has other investments too, in the super luxury resort sector. The exclusive Sandy Lane resort in Barbados is a major investment in the sector.
JP McManus and John Magnier are the other significant investors in the Sandy Lane Resort. They had bought the resort for €60m way back in 1996. They have spent close to €150m on the renovation and redevelopment of the 360-acre site. The site includes two championship golf courses. The resort is patronised by the super rich and the celebrities. Tiger Woods married his former wife Elin Nordegren overlooking one of the Sandy Lane courses in 2004.
Desmond’s new investment will be handled by his IIU investment company. As a joint venture deal with the CRD group it will invest a $100 million over three years for the construction of a boutique ultra-luxury hotel within the 1,200 acres of the Grenadines Estate. Desmond is aiming to turn the Grenadine beach island into one of the world’s top luxury resorts.
