  1. Rule

    ABST standard rate is 17%

    The Revenue (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 2023, gazetted on 29 December 2023, raised the standard rate of the Antigua and Barbuda Sales Tax from 15% to 17% and brought the 14% accommodation rate up to 17%. The Sales Tax (Amendment) Act 2024 later set the return deadline at 15 days after the end of the period. Our ABST calculator uses both.
