A double-taxation agreement between the UK Treasury and the Cayman Islands was signed last month.
Described as ‘an arrangement for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion’, the agreement spells bad news for tax evaders who thought they could stash their money away unseen by HM Revenue and Customs.
