Reply To: Anguilla taxes on floating villas

Imagine we had 20 floating villas and a resaurant 10 miles off of Anguilla. Along with business and boat licences (which are not too much money) the taxes you would have to pay are:

1) Visitor tax - 10% of room rate

2) Resaurants add 10% service charge to the bill which goes to the staff (sort of built in tip here).

There is no income tax or sales tax. So if we charge $500/night for a floating villa, the government gets $50/night.
