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” on taxes.
The council said all three jurisdictions either lacked tax information or failed to deliver on commitments regarding governance and transparency reforms.
The list also includes Russia, Panama, five other Caribbean states and territories and six in the Pacific Ocean.
