Supporting your business through change

Tax legislation is evolving rapidly, and Bermuda is no exception. With the introduction of a 15% Corporate Income Tax (CIT) from January 2025, multinational groups operating on the island face new compliance requirements, reporting challenges and strategic decisions. At the same time, scrutiny from global tax authorities is intensifying, making proactive planning more important than ever.

At Grant Thornton, we combine deep technical knowledge with practical industry insight. Our partner-led team provides tailored tax advice and compliance services to help clients meet their obligations efficiently, reduce risk, and identify opportunities in this new environment. For groups with US connections, we also provide dedicated corporate income tax support for reinsurance and captive insurance companies, drawing on our US tax specialists.
