How CbC reporting is presented in Anguilla

Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, has implemented CbC Reporting through the International Tax Authority (ITA) under the International Tax Authority (Country by Country Reporting) Regulations, 2018.

The ITA requires MNEs with a consolidated group revenue of at least USD 850 million in the previous fiscal year to file a CbC report. The report should be in XML format and should contain information on the global allocation of income, taxes paid, and other indicators of economic activity among tax jurisdictions in which the MNE group operates.

The ultimate parent entity of the MNE group is responsible for filing the CbC report if it is resident in Anguilla. If the ultimate parent entity is not resident in Anguilla, the obligation to file the CbC report falls on the surrogate parent entity, if any, that is resident in Anguilla.

The deadline for filing the CbC report in Anguilla is within 12 months from the end of the fiscal year of the MNE group. For example, if the fiscal year of the MNE group ends on December 31, the CbC report must be filed by December 31 of the following year. Failure to file the CbC report or providing false or misleading information can result in penalties.

Anguilla requires MNEs to file the CbC report electronically using the ITA’s online portal. The portal allows MNEs to upload their CbC report in XML format, and the ITA will send a confirmation of receipt once the report has been successfully submitted.

In addition to the CbC report, Anguilla also requires MNEs to appoint a local representative who will act as the point of contact between the MNE and the ITA. The local representative must be a resident of Anguilla and must have the necessary knowledge and expertise to communicate with the ITA on behalf of the MNE.

In summary, Anguilla follows the guidelines set out by the ITA for CbC Reporting. MNEs meeting the threshold of consolidated group revenue must file a CbC report in XML format through the ITA’s online portal within 12 months from the end of the fiscal year of the MNE group. Failure to comply with the CbC Reporting requirements can result in penalties. MNEs must also appoint a local representative to act as the point of contact between the MNE and the ITA.
