Barbados land tax calculator 2026

Land tax in Barbados is set by the Barbados Revenue Authority and charged on the value assigned to the property. For a home the first Bds$400,000 of improved value is taxed at 0%, and the rate then rises through three bands.

The bands apply from 1 April 2026, after the Government widened the zero band from $300,000 to $400,000. Non-residential property and vacant land pay a single rate on their value.

How it's calculated

  1. Residential: 0% up to Bds$400,000, 0.1% from there to Bds$550,000, 0.7% to Bds$950,000 and 1% above that. Each rate applies only to the slice in its band.
  2. Land with a building other than a residence: 0.95% of the improved value.
  3. Vacant land under 4,000 sq ft: 0.8% of the site value.
  4. Vacant land over 4,000 sq ft: 0.9% up to $450,000 of site value and 1% above that.

An example

A house is assessed at Bds$1,000,000. The first Bds$400,000 pays nothing. The next Bds$150,000 pays 0.1%, which is Bds$150.00. The next Bds$400,000 pays 0.7%, which is Bds$2,800.00. The last Bds$50,000 pays 1%, which is Bds$500.00. The bill for the year is Bds$3,450.00.
