Land Tax

Tax payers must produce the Map Reference number and state the year and the amount they intend to pay.

Payments made within 30 days of the bill date are elligible to receive a 10% discount. Payments made in the next 30 days are elligible to receive 5% discount. Thereafter the principle amount is payable.

All cheques must be accompanied by the bill or EXACT reference number. ALL CHEQUES must be made to the BARBADOS REVENUE AUTHORITY.

Please ensure that all cheques are complete and correct, i.e. words and figures correspond and that they are signed. NO personal foreign cheques (i.e. cheques from banks which are not present in Barbados) will be accepted.

Payments for Land Tax and Municipal Solid Waste Tax can also be made online through the eZpay portal.

We do however accept bank drafts and international postal orders. 

Please accompany all email queries with your name and reference number.

The property owner must submit a signed request  or submit a "change of address" form with the proposed changes. Any person who is not the owner MUST provide a Letter of Administration or power of attorney for a name to be added as person in possession.

From land tax year 2015 -16, vacant land is calculated at 0.8% of the site value of the land.  

Residential property however is calculated on the improved value of the property. 

The first $150,000 is calculated at 0%, the next $300,000 is calculated at 0.1%, the next $550,000 is calculated at 0.45% and 0.75% is calculated on an excess over $1,000,000.
