Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands is comprised of three Islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, which are located in the northwestern Caribbean approximately 480 miles south of Miami, Florida. The Cayman Islands are a British overseas territory with a high degree of regulatory autonomy.
The success of the Cayman Islands as a financial centre is attributed to the tax neutral environment, a stable political British Parliamentary system with adherence to international regulatory standards, excellent telecommunications infrastructure and qualified legal and accounting service providers. There are no income taxes on individuals or companies, no capital gains taxes, death duties or inheritance taxes. Government revenues are raised through the imposition of import and stamp duties, registration and license fees and tourism. The financial services sector is regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority ("CIMA") and the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange.
The Cayman Islands are renowned as the leading jurisdiction for the formation of investments funds and structured finance issuers and Cayman Islands companies are listed on stock exchanges worldwide, including the LSE, AIM, NYSE, NASDAQ, TSX and HKSE. The Cayman Islands has signed numerous Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs), has also enacted the tax information exchange provisions of the EU Savings Directive.
