Retired Persons (Incentives) Act Chapter 62 Revised Edition 2020
The Government of Belize enacted this Act to establish a legal framework for designating foreign retirees as Qualified Retired Persons who meet specific age, citizenship, and financial deposit requirements. Qualified individuals are granted privileges including tax exemptions on foreign-sourced income, duty-free importation of personal effects and transportation, and indefinite residency rights. The legislation simultaneously restricts these persons from engaging in local employment, business, or investment, while imposing penalties for false declarations and granting the Minister authority to issue administrative regulations.
