Barbados continues to put the necessary measures in place that
will enable the country's cooperation in international tax
processes.
This assertion was made by the island's Minister of Finance,
Christopher Sinckler, during the recently held opening of the
Commonwealth Association of Tax Administrators' 37th Annual
Technical Conference in Barbados.
He told his audience: "I can say upfront that Barbados'
record of cooperation with international processes in tax
regulation and transparency has been exemplary. I certainly do
believe that by and large, for most of our regional colleagues, the
same can be said as well.
"It is true that while levels of engagement and
intervention may differ across jurisdictions, this is more to do
with the asymmetries that exist across countries relative to human
resource and financial capacity than it does to a willingness of
Governments to cooperate and lead on these matters."
