Any person who owns or operates a business in The Bahamas is required to apply for and obtain a business licence in compliance with the Business Licence Act 2023. Applications are completed online at vat.revenue.gov.bs

Supporting documents and approvals from other agencies are required when completing the online application. The approval process is normally within seven (7) working days, providing all required information and documentation has been submitted correctly.
