Puerto Portals in mid December

 A stunning day last week; clear skies, views over to the distant islands of Cabrera and sparkling seas

 Hard to imagine this is mid December, just a couple of days until Christmas

After a few stormy days it´s normal to have seaweed on the beaches at this time of year, but the sea still looks a beautiful turquoise.   Looking west towards Palma Nova and Magaluf.

A calm day in the jet-set marina of Puerto Portals.

Christmas 2014 in Palma

This last weekend the Christmas lights in Palma were switched on.  Trees have been swathed in white lights and canopies looking like spiders´ webs have been spun across the main promenades.  A beautiful spectacle. 

After the jump please read the December Events (courtesy of The Majorca Daily Bulletin)

50 countries sign deal to share your Information

Automatic exchange of information on a global scale will become a reality in 2017, as 51 countries signed an agreement to share financial information. Another 35 jurisdictions will join the following year.

All Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and G20 countries, as well as most major international financial centres, signed a “multilateral competent authority agreement” that will activate the automatic sharing of financial data for tax purposes. The signing ceremony took place at the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes in Berlin on 29th October.

It shows the determination from governments across the globe to prevent tax evasion and capture lost tax revenue. Tax authorities of participating countries will be able to gather much more information on the assets their taxpayers hold abroad.

The OECD explains that automatic exchange of information “can provide timely information on non-compliance where tax has been evaded either on an investment return or the underlying capital sum, even where the tax administrations have had no previous indications of non-compliance”.

58 jurisdictions, known as the “early adopters”, have pledged to make the first exchange in 2017. This includes Spain, the UK, Spain, Germany, most of the EU, Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Bermuda, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Iceland, Liechtenstein, San Marino, Seychelles, Argentina and South Africa.

A further 35 jurisdictions have said they will start in 2018. This includes Hong Kong, Monaco, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and, significantly, Switzerland.

Although not one of the early adopters, the Swiss government has adopted mandates to soon begin negotiations with the EU and other countries on automatically sharing data on bank accounts from 2018.
