Christ Church - Barbados

Barbados entered into its first bi-lateral investment treaty as a sovereign state with the United Kingdom in April 1993, following the signing of the convention on social security between the two governments in January 1992. These, together with the double taxation agreement signed in 1970, provided the platform for further investment in the island. The taxation agreement is one of six tax treaties that the island has with European countries. These include Finland, Norway, Sweden, Malta and Switzerland, whose treaty with the United Kingdom was extended to Barbados in 1954. The treaty that the UK has with Barbados does not grant any benefits to entities that are licensed to operate under legislation governing the offshore sector.
