Tax system: None No personal income tax, corporate income tax, capital gains tax, VAT or general withholding taxes. Government revenue is mainly UK budgetary aid, fees (including immigration and tourism), `.pn` domain registrations, and historically postage stamps and handicrafts. The Land Tenure Reform Ordinance (Cap 14) authorises an Annual Land Tax on certain land holdings (especially absentee owners); the standard rate is set by the President of the Lands Court with the Governor’s approval. Social welfare benefits are provided under local ordinance without a payroll social-security contribution scheme.

British citizens and other settlers are subject to UK tax rules if they remain UK tax resident under HMRC’s statutory residence test; Pitcairn itself does not operate a day-count income-tax residency test.
