Guide to the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority Law - (Version 1.0) March 2009
The Tax Information Authority is the Cayman Islands competent authority for the purposes of savings income information reporting requirements. It is responsible for receiving the prescribed information from local organizations which qualify as “paying agents” and for transmitting that information to its counterpart competent authorities in each EU Member State. These requirements are the domestic measures which equate to the European Union Savings Directive (“EUSD”). Other principal functions of the Tax Information Authority include issuing Tax Residence Certificates and issuing Guidance Notes.
