Dividends: not computed. Amended domestic dividend credit and foreign distributions require classification.

Each figure is the tax on one more unit of a very large amount of that income, with every layer the engine models: surtaxes and uncapped social contributions included. It is the top marginal rate, not the average rate you pay on all your income.

What programmes does the Dominica profile list?
CBI — Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) Donation (information only; not numerically modelled); CBI — Approved Real Estate (information only; not numerically modelled). A citizenship, a residence permit or a company incentive is not by itself a personal tax concession: the ordinary tax rules and the taxpayer's eligibility still apply.
When do you become tax resident in Dominica?
The Dominica day test (183 days in the basis period for a year of assessment): at least 183 days in the normal calendar basis period; an approved business period can differ. Abode, continuity with an adjacent basis period, and an approved business accounting period need separate facts. Citizenship by investment does not establish income-tax residence.
Residence decides whether Dominica taxes you on these rates. See the Dominica day-count test and count your own days.
