EU adds Belize, Seychelles, Antigua and Barbuda to tax havens list
The Council of the European Union on Tuesday added the Indian Ocean island state of Seychelles and the Caribbean countries of Belize and Antigua and Barbuda to a list of 16 nations and territories deemed "non-cooperative" for tax purposes. "All three jurisdictions were found to be lacking with regard to the exchange of tax information on request," the Council said in a statement, adding that countries on the list had failed to engage in constructive dialogue or deliver on commitments regarding governance and transparency reforms. The Council invites EU institutions and member states to take the list into account when making decisions on foreign policy, development cooperation and economic relations.
