The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) would like to thank all property owners who continue to contribute to the development of Anguilla. We wish to announce that the Property Tax Bills for 2022 will be mailed starting on Monday 9th May 2022. The bills will only reflect amounts for 2022. A separate notice will be sent for properties with arrears and to reflect advanced payments.
A 5% discount will be applied if the current year Property Tax is paid in full on or before Wednesday 1st June 2022. Property owners can benefit from the discount even if arrears are not paid. However, we encourage you to contact the Compliance Unit to set up a payment plan. For those who have already paid the current year tax, the discount will be automatically applied to your account.
The existing measures remain in place:
• A reduction in taxable value of EC$50,000 on all residential buildings is automatically applied as a general exemption.
• A reduction of EC$250,000 in taxable value is given to all Belongers 65 years or older. This reduction applies to ONE residential building only. All persons who are eligible for the Senior Exemption, and who have not applied, are required to visit the Property Tax Unit at the IRD. The Property Tax bill for 2022 can then be reassessed.
A minimum taxable amount of EC$250 for all residential buildings still applies for all property owners, including persons 65 years or older. For all other building types, the minimum taxable amount is EC$500.
IRD is working diligently to ensure that all properties are justly valued and that the data on buildings and owners are up to date. Property owners who believe the value of their property is incorrect can file an objection directly at the IRD. Property Tax Officers may need to perform a site visit to assess building characteristics and measurements to review its value. We appreciate your continuous cooperation during these visits.
We would like to remind all property owners that you are responsible for payment of property taxes whether or not a bill is received. If you have not received your Property Tax bill by the end of May 2022, please contact us or visit us at the IRD so that we can review and update your registration and contact information.
The IRD has launched our Online Portal to provide a convenient and efficient service. We encourage all property owners to visit www.services.gov.ai to register for access to the Online Portal. Here you can view and manage your Property Taxes.
For more information, please contact the IRD at (264) 497-8334, email inlandrevenue@gov.ai or visit the office between the hours of 8:00am and 3:00pm.
