Tax
Grenada taxes assessable income accrued from sources in Grenada, for residents and non-residents alike. Foreign-source income of a Grenada resident generally falls outside that charge unless it is deemed to arise in Grenada. Remote-work permit holders and their dependants are exempt from Grenadian income tax on income generated outside Grenada and are treated as non-resident for certain Acts. Residency can arise through a permanent place of abode with some presence, or through presence for a set period in the year.
