Here's What the USA Is Costing You — And What Cayman Doesn't

Every year you stay puts more distance between you and the number you could be keeping. The good news: the fix is simpler than it looks, if you know who to talk to. That's Seb.

🇺🇸 Coming from the United States

Right now, Washington and your state are both taking a cut of everything you build — before you've even paid yourself. In Cayman, that stops. Zero corporate tax. Zero personal income tax. Zero capital gains. The move itself isn't complicated once you know exactly what to do — which is where most people trying to figure it out alone get stuck.

  • 💸 Every year you wait is another year funding two governments for the same dollar.
  • 🏝️ In Cayman, that same income stays yours. Fully. Legally.
  • 🧭 Seb has personally guided 100+ people through this exact move — and knows precisely which mistakes to avoid.

🇨🇦 Coming from Canada

CRA doesn't just tax what you earn — it keeps taxing you for as long as you're considered a resident, full stop. Cutting that tie the right way is what actually gets you out of the system. Do it wrong, and it can cost you more on the way out than you ever saved.

  • 🍁 Every year in Canada is another year of CRA taking its share of what you build.
  • 🏝️ Cayman takes none of it — 0% corporate tax, 0% personal tax, 0% capital gains.
  • 🧭 Seb knows exactly how Canadians make this exit cleanly — and who you need on your side to do it right.

🇬🇧 Coming from the United Kingdom

The UK just tightened the rules that used to make relocating simpler — which means doing this the old way doesn't work anymore. What still works is knowing exactly how the new system applies to your situation before you move, not after.

  • 🇬🇧 HMRC's reach just got longer, not shorter. Waiting doesn't help you.
  • 🏝️ Cayman still charges 0% on income, corporate profits, and capital gains.
  • 🧭 Seb has two decades of relationships on the island and knows exactly who you'll need on your side.

🌐 International Relocation

Wherever you're coming from, the shape of it is the same: your government takes a cut, Cayman doesn't. What's different is the exact rules for how you leave — and that's exactly what a short conversation with Seb will clarify.

  • 🏝️ Cayman charges 0% — income, corporate, capital gains, and inheritance tax. Full stop.
  • 📋 Your home country's exit rules are the only real variable left in this equation.
  • 🧭 Seb personally connects you to the right people to get it done properly.

Track your days, file required home-country disclosures, and settle into island life with local legal/accounting support on call.

This being my first property purchase, I was uneasy & hesitant while searching. But then Seb Nehme of Property Cayman came in, and the first property he showed me is now the first property I own. He understood exactly what I wanted to do and with his knowledge of the market, showed me the property that I needed to get it done! An easy recommendation, and I'm looking forward to being a repeat customer in the future!

Seb went above and beyond what we would expect of an estate agent in this transaction. Being our first purchase, we had many moments of uncertainty, but he helped us every step of the way and was available almost 24/7. We appreciate his efficiency throughout and would recommend him to anyone interested in property in the Cayman Islands.

I sold my home in February of 2022 and it was the easiest process I've been through this year. Seb made sure I was well taken care of and got what my home was worth. I felt as if I was a part of the Property Cayman team, every member of the team was so helpful. Thanks for making the process so smooth Seb!

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions people actually ask Seb before booking a call.

Is Grand Cayman the same as the Cayman Islands?

Not quite. The Cayman Islands are three islands — Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman. Grand Cayman is the largest and by far the most populated, home to George Town, Seven Mile Beach, and nearly all the financial services activity. When people say "Cayman" in a relocation or business context, they almost always mean Grand Cayman specifically.

What's the Cayman Islands government like for someone moving here?

Cayman is a British Overseas Territory with its own elected government — a Premier and Legislative Assembly handling local affairs — while the UK retains responsibility for defense, foreign policy, and internal security through a Governor. For a relocating founder, the practical upshot is a stable common-law legal system, no local income tax legislation to navigate, and immigration rules set and enforced by Cayman's own department, not London.

Do I really pay zero income tax if I move to the Cayman Islands?

On Cayman-sourced income, yes — there's no personal income tax, capital gains tax, or corporate tax charged by the Cayman government. What you still owe depends entirely on your home country. Americans, for instance, are taxed on worldwide income no matter where they live. See our tax guide for the country-by-country breakdown.

How is Seb different from a typical Cayman Islands real estate agent?

Most agents show you houses. Seb's spent years inside Cayman's business and immigration world, so the conversation usually starts before the property search — residency category, company structure, timing — and the house-hunting comes after that's sorted.

Let's Talk

Got a Question? Get in Touch.

However's easiest for you — Seb answers personally, usually within the hour.

💬What actually happens next: your first message gets a real, specific answer from Seb — not a script. If it looks like a fit, the next step is a short call to map out your numbers and timeline. No pressure, no house-hunting until you're ready.

📆Worth knowing: Seb personally takes on a limited number of new relocations each quarter to keep things hands-on — reaching out sooner rather than later just means more room on his calendar.
