Cayman Delegation Holds Successful Meetings With EU Officials

The Premier, the Hon. Alden McLaughlin; and Minister of Financial Services and Home Affairs, the Hon. Tara Rivers, met with key EU decision makers in Brussels from 28-29 September to discuss the EU's preparations for a list of non-cooperative tax jurisdictions.

'Cayman has consistently engaged on tax matters with EU officials through correspondence and responses to their questions, as well as face-to-face meetings in April 2016 and February 2017', the Premier said.

'Our objective is to assist EU ministers of finance in their understanding of Cayman's compliance efforts, prior to the EU's December 2017 announcement of the jurisdictions that it considers to be noncompliant with global tax good governance standards'.
