It is over! The Dominica’s International Business Companies regime is officially abolished from 1st January 2022. Those companies have the option to re-register as a local company (the deadline was 31 December 2021) and be subject to the Dominica’s local 25% corporate income tax.

The worldwide industry of non-resident, low tax or tax neutral companies is panicking: all the big accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernest and Young, KMPG, and PWC) have been overwhelmed by a wave of recent legislation adopted by many jurisdictions at once. The call (shot?) has been made by the European Commission in Brussels regarding the non-cooperative tax jurisdictions. Some people will believe that it targets only small players, and others will believe that it only affects big players. In fact it is targeting every body.
