Offshore scrutiny grows
The Chief Minister says a register of beneficial ownership is only the first step towards improving the Island's tax reputation.
Last week Allan Bell signed an agreement with UK Treasury Financial Secretary David Gauke in London.
The deal means the Manx government must establish a centralised database of companies owned here, and disclose information to international authorities on request.
It comes as five European nations, including the UK, agreed to crack down on tax avoidance following the Panama Papers leak.
Mr Bell says pressure is mounting on the Island:

£41K spent on encouraging people to shop local
Baton of Hope to come back to Isle of Man
CoC 'keen' for continuity of sidecar racing at TT
2026 Manx Grand Prix to begin today
