Banks

Banks cover accounts, cards, transfers, fees and security.

Investing

Investing in Brunei covers long-term wealth building, ongoing income, preservation of value, retirement planning and the transfer of assets. The local capital market is supervised by the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank (BDCB), but remains small and has no confirmed local stock-market trading for retail investors. Access is usually through BDCB-licensed dealers, fund managers, investment advisers or financial planners. The SPK system provides formal retirement provision, while securities, funds, sukuk and other investments each have their own risks, costs and access rules.

Costs

The cost of living in Brunei includes housing, utilities, food, mobility, healthcare, education, communications and leisure. The official household expenditure survey recorded average monthly spending of BND 2,817 per household and BND 558 per person. The median was BND 2,163. These figures are not a government minimum budget and depend on the household, district and residency status.

Debt

Debt in Brunei includes loans, credit cards, instalment purchases, hire-purchase agreements, arrears, collection, court enforcement and bankruptcy. Credit access is shaped by income-based debt limits, credit reporting and the terms of each contract. The available solutions range from early contact with a lender to court or Official Receiver proceedings.

Taxes

Brunei does not levy personal income tax on employment income, self-employment, dividends, interest or pensions of individuals. Companies generally pay 18.5% Corporate Income Tax on taxable income; petroleum and natural gas production is subject to a separate regime with a rate of 55%. Other charges may arise from withholding tax, stamp duty, import and excise duties, and the municipal building tax (Cukai Bangunan) in municipal areas.

Insurance

Insurance in Brunei covers agreed personal, property, liability and income risks in return for premiums or contributions. The system includes conventional insurance and Takaful, a sharia-compliant form of risk-sharing. Special legal obligations apply to motor vehicles and employers’ liability.
