Cook Islands

The Cook Islands enacted its Captive Insurance Act in 2013 to regulate business conducted both inside and outside its borders by international companies. As of January 2022, companies are subject to a 20% tax on worldwide income to comply with EU standards and avoid non-cooperative listing. Domicile requirements include audited annual accounts filed with the Financial Supervisory Commission.
