According to reports, the Pacific tax haven of Vanuatu has agreed to go along with the demands of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) and implement measures under the Harmful Tax Initiative.
The decision apparently came hot on the heels of a recent visit to the jurisdiction's capital, Port Vila, by a representative from the OECD. The organisation had previously warned that sanctions were an option being considered as a punishment for non-compliance.
Vanuatu had based its previous objections on the level playing field principle, complaining that the measures being forced on them were not being adhered to by much larger and wealthier nations.
