The Ministry of Finance and Energy reminds all concerned, that as part of the reforms under the Homegrown Programme, the concessions to Returning Nationals were adjusted as of 9 May 2014.
In this regard, Returning Nationals are now eligible for:
- 50% concession on a vehicle. The vehicle may be purchased locally, if so desired. The exemption will be valid for 3 years. If the vehicle is sold within 3 years of the concession being granted, the Returning National is liable to repay the taxes forgone. With respect to the environmental levy — vehicles 1 to 5 years old will attract a 2% CIF value, and vehicles over 5 years will attract a 30% CIF value.
- 100% exemption on all household and personal effects, whether new or used, up to EC$75,000.
- Tax incentives for setting up business
Please note that Customs Service Charge of 6% is applicable on all imports under this revised Programme.

- Proof of Eligibility, including, but not limited to:
