New flights to drive demand for property in St Lucia
Country: St Lucia, Caribbean
11 August 2009 New Direct Flights from the US and UK to St Lucia combined with the country’s tax friendly regime could potential boost demand for property in St Lucia to both buy and rent. In the UK, British Airways are increasing their direct flights to St Lucia from three to five times per week from October 2009. There is also a new service from Frankfurt, operated by Condor from 1 November of this year. In the US, Jet Blue has announced a new service from New York to St Lucia with three weekly flights from 26 October. The increase in the number of flights from the US and UK is likely to increase the number of tourists visiting the island, is a boost to the tourism industry and is great news for investors who rent out their second homes in St Lucia. In an effort to accelerate tourism projects after the decline of its banana trade, the St Lucian government stepped in to provide a rental income ‘tax holiday’ to St Lucia property investors, who let out their properties. Also attractive for property investors on the island is the fact that there is no VAT charge on St Lucia property, no capital gains tax and no inheritance tax.
Currently going through Parliament are changes to the immigration law that will allow foreigners who invest in St Lucian property over $350,000 (£213,000) to become a resident of St Lucia, which will bring with it further tax benefits.
