CB009 Summary
Primary Residence MLS #415899
Cayman Immigration law requires an investment in developed real estate, and so your purchase of a 6 bedroom semi-detached-home in Centre on Cayman Brac is the cornerstone of your investment. Cayman Brac residents enjoy beautiful beaches, warm weather, a clean and safe environment, robust infrastructure, tax neutrality and direct access to major flight hubs. It's not surprising that Cayman real estate has shown significant capital appreciation in recent years.
Land MLS #415323
You are purchasing a 0.28 acre parcel in West on Cayman Brac. Historically, land in Cayman has shown significant capital appreciation due to rapid development and limited space available. Plus, land like your 0.28 acre benefits from low maintenance and insurance costs.
Stamp Duty
When you purchase property in the Cayman Islands you pay a one-time transfer tax of 7.5% of the total assessed value, which counts toward meeting your investment threshold. Based on your purchase of a 6 bedroom semi-detached-home in Centre for $870,000 and 0.28 acre parcel in West for $67,406, your stamp duty is $70,305. Cayman does not have an annual property tax.
Utility Shares
You can purchase 13,735 shares in Caribbean Utilities Company, which is the sole provider of electricity in the Cayman Islands. The company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange with the ticker symbol CUP.U, so is a liquid investment. CUP.U has reliably paid quarterly dividends since 1990. The distribution is $0.185 per share and CUP.U shareholders also enjoy capital appreciation due to population growth and increasing energy demands in the Cayman Islands.
