November 27, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

The global tax landscape has quietly but decisively shifted.

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

November 27, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

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...

November 27, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) have no shortage of transmission expansion plans.

Financing the Future Grid: Mobilising Capital for Climate-Resilient Transmission in Latin America and the Caribbean

November 27, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Transmission has become the critical bottleneck in Latin America and the Caribbean’s (LAC) energy transition. It is no longer a background asset class—it is the hinge on which renewable integration, reliability, and economic competitiveness now turn. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) makes this explicit in its technical note “Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable...

Regulating for Resilience: Modern Grid Rules to Enable Investment, Innovation and Social License

November 27, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Regulation is fast becoming one of the most strategic levers for Latin America and the Caribbean’s (LAC) energy future—not just a technical box-ticking exercise. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)’s new technical note, “Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable and Sustainable Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean” (Alarcón & Quirós-Tortós, 2025), places modern, resilient...

Branches, Head Offices, and Withholding Tax: Treating One Legal Person as Many for Tax Purposes

November 26, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

In company law, a branch and its head office are the same legal person. There is no separate share capital, no separate legal personality, no “other company” at the other end of the transaction. Yet, in the recent Bank of Nova Scotia v Comptroller of Inland Revenue (Saint Lucia) decision, the Caribbean Court of Justice...

Purposive Interpretation Arrives in Caribbean Tax: How the CCJ Is Redrawing the Boundaries

November 26, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

For decades, many taxpayers and even some advisers took comfort in the idea that tax statutes must be read strictly and literally. If the wording left a gap or created an anomaly, the assumption was simple: the benefit goes to the taxpayer. The recent decision of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in The Bank...

From Reimbursements to Revenue: The Tax Re-Characterisation Risk After BNS v Comptroller of Inland Revenue

November 26, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

For years, “reimbursement” has been one of the most comforting words in intragroup accounting. If a local branch or subsidiary simply “reimburses” head office or a regional hub for costs incurred on its behalf—at cost, with no margin—surely that is tax neutral? No profit, no gain, no income. Just a wash-through number. The recent decision...

November 26, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

The recent decision of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) in The Bank of Nova Scotia v Comptroller of Inland Revenue (Saint Lucia) is not just another tax case for lawyers to debate. It is a clear signal that tax authorities and courts across the Caribbean are ready to scrutinise cross-border payment flows—especially management and...

From Plans to Power Lines: Building Proactive and Robust Transmission Planning in LAC

November 25, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Transmission lines don’t get built in spreadsheets. But without the right kind of spreadsheet—a credible, coherent planning process—most lines never leave the page. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) makes this point strongly in its technical note “Unlocking the Grid: How to Ensure Reliable and Sustainable Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean.” Chapter 2, “From...
