Hi
The policy is if you live on Aruba under 6 months a year you do not have to sign up for residency and therefore are not subject to Aruba Income Tax.
Additionally if you do sign up for residency - there is a "double taxation" policy here which compares what you pay in the US verses the Aruban tax rate.
If you income is in the US - the US rate comes first and you might have to pay the difference in the rates - say US is 28% and Aruba is 29% - you would have to pay 1% to Aruba. If it's higher in the US - than you pay nothing.
As of 2007, capital gains and interest is not taxable. But dividends are
and there are standard deductions (not as much as the US) that you
might be able to qualify for.
