Automatic exchange of Manx beneficial ownership information has been agreed with the five largest European economies.

The Isle of Man Government agreed the move - which has been spearheaded by the G5; the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

Companies, trusts, foundations, shell companies with law enforcement and tax administrations will now have to disclose their beneficiaries.
