Discover Bouvet Island

Bouvet Island, an uninhabited subantarctic volcanic island, is located in the South Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the most remote islands in the world, situated approximately 2,200 kilometers southwest of the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, and about 1,700 kilometers north of the Princess Astrid Coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. Bouvet Island is a dependent territory of Norway, and it was first claimed by the United Kingdom in 1825, then by Norway in 1928. The nearest land is the uninhabited Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, over 1,600 kilometers to the south.

The island is mostly covered by a glacier, and its center is occupied by an ice-filled crater of an inactive volcano. Bouvet Island’s harsh climate, ice-bound terrain, and its remote location make it largely inhospitable. There is no permanent human habitation, and access to the island is limited to research expeditions and occasional visits by tourists on ice-strengthened vessels. As such, there is no indigenous or permanent population, and thus no distinct culture or society.

Due to its remote location and inhospitable environment, Bouvet Island does not have an economy in the traditional sense. There are no economic activities, industries, or key economic markets on the island. Its significance lies primarily in scientific research and monitoring. Research typically focuses on its unique ecology, geology, and meteorology. Being a nature reserve, the island and its surrounding waters are also of interest for biological and environmental studies, particularly for observing penguin populations and other seabirds that inhabit the island.

Overview of Taxation in Bouvet Island

Bouvet Island, being an uninhabited and remote volcanic island under Norwegian dependency, does not have a resident population or an economic infrastructure, and consequently, it does not have a taxation system in the traditional sense. As there are no commercial activities, businesses, or permanent residents on the island, the concepts of personal income tax, corporate tax, sales tax, or other common forms of taxation are not applicable. The island is primarily used for scientific research purposes, and any activities are typically managed and funded by the Norwegian government and research institutions. Therefore, taxation, as understood in populated territories with economic activities, is non-existent in Bouvet Island.
