In
Vanuatu there are no taxes affecting individuals
other than import duties (at varying rates),
VAT at 12.5% (2009), a tax on rental income
over VT200,000 in a 6-month period of 15%, and
stamp duty on some property transactions, share
transfers and some other transactions at rates
of up to 1% (minimum VT2,500). The Government
levies fees on the acquisition of land, charging
2% of the unimproved capital value as a registration
fee and 5% of the unimproved capital value as
stamp duty.
Although
there are no State social security contributions
as such, employees and employers contribute
3% of salary each to an approved superannuation
scheme, usually the Vanuatu National Provident
Fund.
