The fees for trade licenses in Belize are divided into sectors and charged based on the annual rental value of the property. For instance, supermarkets, grocery stores, furniture stores, and repair businesses are subject to a 3.5% fee. Hardware stores, gas stations, and dentistry offices are all subject to a 5% fee. For businesses engaging in gaming or monopolies, the highest rate is 25%.

Belize financial license

If your business operates in the international financial services industry in or from within Belize, you must carry a Belize financial license. The Belize Financial Service Commision (FSC) is in charge of granting the license. There are 13 types of Belize financial license, prominently including International asset protection and management, Money Transmission, Accounting, and Payment processing Services. The application fee is flat US$1,000 for each type, but the renewal fee is different ranging from US$5,000 to US$25,000.

Under IBTA, Belize has a dual taxation system. Businesses are levied with two sorts of taxes:

  • Belize corporate income tax (CIT) is computed on chargeable income.

The general Belize income tax rate is 25%.

The Belize business tax rate varies depending on the type of income and is set forth in the principal act's ninth schedule (IBTA).

Furthermore, Belize business tax is not applicable in the following cases:

  • Companies that engage in petroleum operations.
  • If the revenue or income is derived outside of Belize, IBCs operating in a trade, business, or profession are exempt from Belize business tax.
  • Companies operating under the Designated processing area (DPA).

In order to be qualified for business tax exemption, IBCs must provide documents and proof of their foreign-sourced revenue/income. For further guidance, please feel free to contact us via email [email protected].
