The above don't apply if you are a US citizen, tho you can work/reside there as long as you submit tax data to the IRS as normal. The IRS allows something over $70K/year for foreign residency, but ya gotta check out the specific rulings on time spent abroad to qualify.

If you are from most other countries and live and work in the Carribbean, you pay no taxes to your country of citizenship.
