Applying Dawgen CARI-VAL Insure™ to Insurance & Pension Valuation

Insurance companies and pension funds play a quiet but critical role in the Caribbean and wider Latin America & the Caribbean (LAC) region. They pool risk, provide long-term savings, support home ownership and business continuity, and act as major institutional investors in government and corporate securities. Yet when a board, regulator, shareholder or potential buyer...

Valuing Caribbean Banks in a Digital Age: The Dawgen CARI-VAL Bank™ Framework

Banks are not just another sector in the Caribbean economy — they are the financial operating system for households, businesses and governments. They intermediate savings, provide FX, support trade, process payments and increasingly deliver digital financial services. So when a shareholder, regulator, board or potential investor asks: “What is this bank really worth?” …the answer...

Managing the Tax Burden on Capital: Turning EATRs, EMTRs and Cost-of-Capital Analytics into Boardroom Tools

Corporate tax is no longer just “25% on the slide in the board pack.” For capital-intensive and growing businesses in Jamaica, the wider Caribbean and LAC, the real tax cost of investment is driven by how quickly you can depreciate assets, how inventories are valued, whether you benefit from allowances for corporate equity (ACE), and...

The Caribbean and LAC in the Global Corporate Tax Landscape: Strategy Lessons from OECD Corporate Tax Statistics 2025

The OECD’s Corporate Tax Statistics 2025 is more than a technical publication. For businesses in Jamaica, the wider Caribbean and Latin America & the Caribbean (LAC), it’s effectively a global scoreboard: showing where our region sits on corporate tax rates, withholding taxes, treaty networks and BEPS implementation – and how that shapes investment and tax...

Reading the CbCR Data: What Multinational Reporting Reveals About Profit Shifting and Tax Risk

Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) has quietly become one of the most powerful transparency tools in international taxation. For large multinational enterprise (MNE) groups, it is no longer just a compliance obligation – it is a data set that tax authorities, policymakers and increasingly boards themselves use to assess where profits are booked, where activities happen, and...

From BEPS to Pillar Two: How Anti-Avoidance Rules Are Reshaping Corporate Tax Planning

1. A New Era for Corporate Tax Strategy Over the past decade, the global tax landscape has shifted from rate competition to rule tightening. The OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project has rolled out a comprehensive set of anti-avoidance measures, and now Pillar Two’s global minimum tax is adding another powerful layer of...

Incentivising Innovation: Are R&D Tax Incentives Worth the Complexity?

Innovation is no longer optional. Whether you’re a regional bank building new digital channels, a manufacturer automating production, or a telecom operator investing in 5G and data platforms, research and development (R&D) and broader innovation spend increasingly sit at the heart of competitive advantage. The question for boards and CFOs is not just how much...

End of the Race to the Bottom? Stabilising Corporate Tax Rates and the New Global Tax Order

For more than two decades, finance ministers and tax directors have lived with an assumption:corporate tax rates will keep trending down as jurisdictions compete for investment. The latest OECD Corporate Tax Statistics 2025 suggest that moment has passed. Statutory corporate income tax (CIT) rates have stopped falling and are now broadly stable, even though they...

Corporate Tax Revenues Are Surging: What OECD 2025 Data Means for Caribbean Businesses

  The global tax landscape has quietly but decisively shifted. Around the world, governments are collecting more tax from companies, and they are relying on corporate income tax (CIT) more heavily than they did two decades ago. For groups operating in the Caribbean and wider Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region, this has profound...

Fixing Drafting Errors from the Bench: Tax Certainty, Legislative Gaps, and the Role of the CCJ

In tax planning conversations, you still sometimes hear this line: “Yes, that looks like a gap in the law. But if Parliament didn’t write it in, the court can’t put it there. So we’re safe.” After the Bank of Nova Scotia v Comptroller of Inland Revenue (Saint Lucia) decision, that comfort looks increasingly fragile. In...
