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...

Branches Under the Microscope: What the CCJ’s BNS Ruling Means for Cross-Border Management Charges

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...

Unlocking the Grid: Why Transmission Is the Backbone of Latin America & Caribbean Energy Security

November 25, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are often celebrated for their exceptional renewable energy potential—hydropower, solar, wind, geothermal, and increasingly green hydrogen. Yet a quiet reality sits behind the headlines: no matter how much renewable capacity is announced, financed, or even built, it cannot unlock its full value without one critical piece of infrastructure—the transmission...

Profitable and Investable – Redesigning Cost Structures and Finance for Caribbean Agribusiness

November 25, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

In every conversation about agriculture, one truth quietly sits beneath the surface: If the numbers don’t work, nothing is sustainable. You can have climate-smart practices, strong governance, and cutting-edge technology—but if the business cannot generate reliable profits and cannot attract appropriate finance, it will struggle to survive, much less grow. For Caribbean agribusiness, this reality...

Resilient by Design – Governance, Risk and Compliance for Modern Caribbean Agribusiness

November 25, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

Agriculture has always carried risk. A bad season, a pest outbreak, a sudden market shift—these are not new realities for Caribbean farmers and agribusinesses. What is new is the scale and complexity of the risks: Climate shocks that hit more often and with greater intensity More demanding regulators and global buyers Rising expectations for food...

From Machete to Microchip – Unlocking Productivity with AgriTech and Data in the Caribbean

November 25, 2025by Dr Dawkins Brown

For generations, Caribbean agriculture has been built on experience, intuition, and hard physical labour. The machete, the hoe, and the farmer’s eye have been the core “tools” of the sector. But the competitive landscape has changed. Today, agribusinesses in Latin America, North America, Europe, and Asia are using sensors, satellites, farm management software, artificial intelligence,...
