Finally I found a document on the internet. Income tax will indeed be 10% and the first $10.000 is tax-free. The penshonado arrangement will terminate.

Vincent, can you post a link to this document? There has been a lot of rumor and ongoing discussions but I haven't heard or read anything official.

My idea was to give a general view on the ongoing changes from 2010 as bonaire will be part of BES. It would affect all people living on Bonaire. Certainly I would not discuss private tax matters on this forum. And Bruce the document is not official and it is written in dutch, it still needs to be approved by all parties.

They also propose to add a new tax, a turnover tax of 5%. I don't know what that would apply to. That would be separate from the 8.5%. And the tax holiday for business would be limited to 10 years. Similar tax holidays have been used in other countries.
