Property Tax
Vanuatu has a land rent system rather than a traditional property tax. All land is constitutionally owned by indigenous custom owners, and long-term leases are granted to individuals and businesses. Leaseholders pay annual land rent to the government, which is typically a percentage of the unimproved land value. A property transfer stamp duty applies at varying rates on the transfer of leasehold interests.
