A register sounds to me like a gesture rather than a solution if someone wants to hide their ownership they will just use proxies. The UK should cut their levels of taxation in the first place so there is less of an incentive to undertake tax planning.

I say we resist as strongly as possible.

GLOBAL STANDARD – I THINK NOT !
“the vast majority of nations worldwide do not make theirs public, the UK does”.
So where is the UK getting off claiming a Global Standard ? Wishing thinking Blighty.

Premier Burt and all the colonies are right to tell the UK to take a hike on this one.

“A beneficial ownership register is a database of information on business owners, and while the vast majority of nations worldwide do not make theirs public, the UK does, with their register going public in 2016, becoming the first nation in the world to do so”.

Are we trying to hide something? Looks like the ‘Betmuda Standard’ just hit the rocks.

“The UK will continue to seek to work closely with Overseas Territories and to use its best endeavours diplomatically…” blah blah blah translates to “If any of you Dependents think we (the UK) care about your opinions on these matters, think again. This is what the British Government wants and what it wants now. Fall in line.”

The Cayman Islands is exactly right. The British Government throws a tantrum every time its grown up “children” have an opinion which differs from theirs. Well guess what, children grow up to be independent of their parents. That’s the whole point, ain’t it? Take note, UK, we might still be your children, but the apron strings are cut. Like it. Live with it.
