How St. Lucia’s Tax Amnesty Can Save Your Property Sale – What Sellers and Buyers Need to Know Before 2026
Take Advantage of St. Lucia Tax Amnesty Before Selling or Buying Property
Thinking about selling your property in St. Lucia? You may want to act now. The Government of Saint Lucia has extended its Tax Amnesty Programme until May 1, 2026, giving homeowners and potential buyers a golden opportunity to clear outstanding taxes without penalties or interest.
Why St. Lucia Tax Amnesty is important for property sellers?
One of the key requirements for completing a property sale in St. Lucia is obtaining a Tax Clearance Certificate from the Inland Revenue Department. This certificate confirms that the seller has no outstanding property taxes. Without the Property Tax Clearance certificate, a sale cannot legally close. Many deals have been delayed or fallen through entirely because sellers weren’t up to date on their property tax obligations.
Under this amnesty, sellers can settle any arrears on property tax, withholding tax, or income tax without facing penalties. It’s a one-time chance to get compliant, protect your property’s value, and ensure you don’t lose a serious buyer over something that could have been avoided.
What about buyers?
For buyers, this amnesty is just as critical. Buying a property with unresolved tax issues can create legal and financial complications. Ensure the property you’re purchasing is clear of any tax encumbrances by encouraging the seller to take advantage of the amnesty now. This helps speed up the transaction process and reduces risk.
According to the official announcement from the Ministry of Finance, the amnesty also extends to corporate property owners and businesses looking to reorganize or divest real estate assets.
