Departure Tax & Taxes
All travellers over the age of two must pay a departure tax of US$20 if leaving by plane or US$60 if travelling by cruise ship. This charge is often included in the price of the plane or cruise ticket so check with your travel agent when booking.
Unlike many countries, most of the tax raised in Bermuda is discretionary. Government Payroll Tax is 4.75%. Most of the other taxes raised by government are done via indirect taxes on imported goods. |

Electricity
The electrical current in Bermuda is 110 volts, 60Hz AC, the same voltage supported by the US and Canada.
Two pronged plugs are in use island wide so travellers from the UK and Europe will need to use an adapter plug. Power on Bermuda is very reliable, and outages are extremely rare, usually associated only with major storms. |
