I've always believed taxes are there for Governments to fiddle with. I like a flat tax - applied equally. But, I'm afraid we will never see it ever in the Dominican Republic.
Another island that we get to frequently is a zero tax jurisdiction. No company tax, no personal income tax, no property tax, no capital gains tax, no sales tax, no inheritance tax. The government makes their money on an across the board 33% import duty, expensive stamp fees on real estate and legal transactions, and some taxes on tourist type businesses. It works well.
