On 3 March 2022, the updated EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes came into effect with its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Further to the above:

• No jurisdictions were added to or removed from the EU list of non-cooperative jurisdictions for tax purposes (Annex I â€� so called EU “black listâ€�), and as a result the EU black list continues to include the following nine jurisdictions: American Samoa, Fiji, Guam, Palau, Panama, Samoa, Trinidad and Tobago, US Virgin Islands and Vanuatu.
• Ten jurisdictions were added to the EU list of jurisdictions whose commitments to comply with EU standards are monitored (Annex II â€� so called EU “grey listâ€�), and as a result the EU grey list includes the following twenty five jurisdictions (additions indicated in bold for ease of reference): Anguilla, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, Dominica, Hong Kong, Israel, Jamaica, Jordan, Malaysia, Montserrat, North Macedonia, Qatar, Russian Federation, Seychelles, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uruguay and Vietnam.
