Taxes for Companies in Aruba (2026): Rates, VAT and Deadlines

This guide summarises the main taxes for companies in Aruba in 2026, using the figures published by the tax authority. Rates change by law or decree, so check with an adviser before you file.

Corporate income tax

The standard profit tax (winstbelasting) rate is 22% (Government of Aruba, Landsverordening winstbelasting).

Indirect taxes

Aruba has no VAT. Instead, businesses pay turnover taxes on their gross turnover: BBO 2.5%, BAVP 1.5% and BAZV 3%, 7% in total, filed with the Departamento di Impuesto.

Payroll taxes

Employers pay social security contributions every month on top of gross salary. Employee income tax is withheld through payroll and paid to the tax authority monthly. If you hire before you have an entity, an employer of record handles payroll for you.

Filing calendar

Turnover taxes (BBO, BAVP, BAZV) are declared periodically on returns filed with the Departamento di Impuesto, and profit tax is filed annually after year end.

Tax ID

Businesses register with the Departamento di Impuesto (tax department) and receive a tax number; companies must also be registered with the Aruba Chamber of Commerce. You need it to invoice, open a bank account and register employees.
