Retirement Benefits in Belize.
Belize offers one of the most attractive incentive programs for foreign retirees anywhere in the world. The Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act, passed by the Belize legislature in 1999, is being implemented by the Belize Tourism Board. The program is designed to attract more retirees to Belize.
The Qualified Retired Persons Incentive Act
Anyone at least 45 years old, from anywhere in the world, can qualify for the program and may also include his or her dependents in the program. It’s run by the Ministry of Tourism, so the program is simple and user-friendly. You can import your car, light aircraft, boat and personal belongings duty-free and another duty-free car every five years after that. You don’t pay tax on any income sourced outside or inside Belize, and you can direct foreign business activities from within the country.
