Any company resident in Barbados is taxed on its worldwide income, whereas a non-resident company whose 'mind and management' is outside Barbados is only taxed on the portion of its income derived in Barbados.

Corporation tax is payable on a company's income less any allowable expenses incurred for the purposes of acquiring that income. The portion of income that is taxable is called the 'assessable income'.
