Moving Soon, Baby Steps!

A QRP is the best residency if you you do not plan to work in Belize. It will permit you to import a car or truck plus a boat and your household goods duty free. If you want a regular residency you must stay in belize for 12 months without leaving for more than 14 days at a time. I dont know why you would need an attorney if you are going to move here and rent.

Thanks for the advice; and yes, the attorney thing was a concern based on life in the USA ....!

I do want to buy the truck new and need to be a retired citizen for the tax break but need to drive the immediate stuff down before we qualify hence the questions.  Do I buy in the US (no diesel toyota trucks here) or buy tax paid while I am waiting to be qualified for retirement in Belize?

Can I defer tax payments until I qualify?

The timing is the tricky thing; the need to have our immediate stuff in Belize vs. the desire to avoid paying taxes unnecessarily!

Think about contacting a freight mover for your need now stuff. Taxes on household belongings is not that bad. Contact a Belize Broker wiyh a list of items for a quote. Belize taxes are a prime source of in come for the country, never heard of them defering till you qialify. But never hurts to ask. Again the Broker would be a good resource for that question.
