Taxes on the Grenada Remote-Work Permit

Verified data Last verified June 15, 2026 Reviewed by Henry van de Vorming

Tax is the part of a move people underestimate most. Here's how Grenada treats a Remote-Work Permit holder's income — when you become a tax resident, what happens to foreign earnings, and the official basis for each. It's information, not tax advice.

How it works

Under the Remote Employment Act 2021, s.9(1) provides that 'no income tax is payable in respect of any income generated by the non-national, or his or her dependant, outside of Grenada in accordance with this Act.' Section 10 deems the permit holder and dependants NOT resident for the purposes of the Representation of the People Act (Ch.286A), the Citizenship Act (Ch.54A) and the Immigration Act (Ch.145). Section 9(2) together with Schedule III also grants conditional customs-duty exemptions (household effects up to EC$75,000 c.i.f.; 100% duty remission on one private motor vehicle, subject to conditions). The permit explicitly bars earning income from any person or business in Grenada (s.3(2)(b)), so there is no Grenada-source income to tax. There is no days-based residency trigger here, because the statute deems holders non-resident regardless of time spent in the country.

When you become a tax resident

Grenada doesn't pin tax residency to a single day-count for this route — it turns on your overall ties (a home, your family, your centre of economic life). Treat any "183-day" rule of thumb with caution here and confirm your position with the tax authority.

If you stay tax-resident somewhere else too, a double-taxation treaty between Grenada and that country usually decides which one taxes a given slice of income — another reason to get personal advice before you move money or change residency.
