Thanks to significant experience within the Bahamian government and the private sector, Montague Consultants can provide a high level of expertise and advice related to value-added tax.

Real Property Tax
In 2017, the Department of Inland Revenue (DIR) commenced the reassessment of all properties in New Providence with a view to updating the tax roll and creating some measure of uniformity and parity with regard to property values. In recent years, the Bahama Islands have experienced two major hurricanes, Hurricane Mathew in 2016 and Dorian in 2019. Both had devastating effects on properties throughout the archipelago resulting in erosion of affected property values. Your circumstance might necessitate the reassessment of your property value that is used for the purpose of calculating your Real Property Taxes.
The experts at Montague Consultants can guide you through the correct objection process that would allow you to seek to have your Real property taxes amended and that any relief available to you as a taxpayer is fully utilized.
