The Guyana Revenue Authority oversees corporate income, personal income, VAT, and other major taxes; local authorities handle property tax.
Corporate tax rates are set at 25% (non‑commercial) and 40% (commercial), with tax holidays of up to 10 years available for priority sectors.
Standard VAT rate is 14%, with exemptions for basics, education, healthcare, and zero-rating for exports.
Income tax is 28% up to GYD 780,000 and 40% above that; a proposal in early 2025 aims to reduce the lower rate to 25% and raise the threshold.
Dividends are taxed at 10%; interest and royalties at 20%; DTAs may reduce these rates.
Capital gains (short‑term assets: 20%; longer‑term: 25% for individuals, 40% for companies), local property taxes, excise duties, and social security contributions apply as per law.
