Local Businesses and Services

For those of you looking to set up a business in Cape Verde you should seek advice from a Lawyer or an Accountant based on the islands. There is one English speaking accountant that I know of, that is based on Sal.


You can discuss your business with the accountant who will advise you of what regime you need to be set up with for tax purposes. If you pay taxes for this business in the UK, you should also discuss this  with the accountant, as you will still need to provide some documentation on your business or service for legal reasons. You should also be aware of the type of property tax you need to pay, firstly on purchasing a property and secondly the Annual Property Tax.
