There is no doubt that <strong>of</strong>fshore centres will c<strong>on</strong>tinue to serve the purpose <strong>of</strong> promoting the efficient deployment<br />
<strong>of</strong> internati<strong>on</strong>al capital - provided they comply with internati<strong>on</strong>ally accepted standards <strong>of</strong> transparency and<br />
cooperati<strong>on</strong> with the countries from which they derive much <strong>of</strong> their business.<br />
To this end, the <strong>of</strong>fshore world has underg<strong>on</strong>e many developments in recent m<strong>on</strong>ths addressing the issues raised<br />
by organisati<strong>on</strong>s such as the G20, and in order to meet the internati<strong>on</strong>al standards <strong>of</strong> transparency, as set by the<br />
OECD. In order to help you keep up with the rapidly changing envir<strong>on</strong>ment, <strong>Appleby</strong> has published a reference<br />
guide <strong>on</strong> the subject, entitled; <str<strong>on</strong>g>Guide</str<strong>on</strong>g> to <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Review</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Offshore</strong> Jurisdicti<strong>on</strong>s (the “<str<strong>on</strong>g>Guide</str<strong>on</strong>g>”).<br />
The material presented in the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Guide</str<strong>on</strong>g> is intended to assist the reader to understand what is taking place at intergovernmental<br />
and governmental levels, in the key jurisdicti<strong>on</strong>s that deal with the <strong>of</strong>fshore world and in the major<br />
<strong>of</strong>fshore centres themselves. As this is a c<strong>on</strong>stantly changing scene, the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Guide</str<strong>on</strong>g> will be regularly updated, ensuring<br />
you have access to current and relevant informati<strong>on</strong> through this resource.<br />
Within the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Guide</str<strong>on</strong>g>, <strong>Appleby</strong> has set out a summary <strong>of</strong> the current proposals or initiatives within these centres,<br />
including the signing <strong>of</strong> TIEAs, progressi<strong>on</strong> from grey to white lists, signing <strong>of</strong> tax treaties and much more.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> the <str<strong>on</strong>g>Guide</str<strong>on</strong>g> is to aid its users in keeping informed <strong>of</strong> the global review <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fshore jurisdicti<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
<strong>Appleby</strong> encourages readers to seek expert advice from within their own jurisdicti<strong>on</strong> to be immediately sure <strong>of</strong><br />
the swift and c<strong>on</strong>sistent changes within this area that may apply to them.<br />
