The Central Bank of The Bahamas issued these regulations to establish specific licence fees for international financial services providers under the International Financial Services Act. The rules mandate a $100,000 fee for companies receiving foreign money deposits and a $50,000 fee for those providing non-deposit international financial services, payable upon issuance and annually thereafter. These provisions revoke the previous Off-Shore Banking (Licence Fees) Regulations of 1980 and require all payments to be made to the Accountant-General.
