Dominica uses the East Caribbean Dollar (XCD), pegged to the USD at XCD 2.70 per USD. Statutory income tax is progressive from 15% to 35%, but this is rarely enforced against CBI citizens who don't reside in Dominica and earn foreign-source income — in practice, most CBI citizens pay 0% on foreign earnings. There's no capital gains tax. Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Unit (cbiu.gov.dm) administers the world's oldest CBI program, launched in 1993.

Dominica's Economic Diversification Fund (EDF) option starts at $200,000 for a single applicant or $250,000 for a family of four (raised from $100,000/$175,000 in the July 2024 OECS price harmonization). A new $1,000-per-applicant (age 16+) interview fee applies since 2024, and the real estate option's minimum hold period was reduced to 3 years. There's no residency requirement to maintain citizenship.
