CEC benefits will be indirect

blick_0.JPG(CNS): The much anticipated techy park being developed by Cayman Enterprise City in the area of Savannah will, officials say, provide more indirect benefits to the public purse than direct fees. The CEO of the islands' first special economic zone, Jason Blick, said it was the people who would be brought here to work for the zone’s tenants that would boost government coffers by their spending and use of local services rather than through the usual fees businesses are required to pay. Tenants in the CEC will not have to pay duty on the items they import, trade and business or company license fees, and they will also be exempt from work permits for their staff or the need to provide business staffing plans.

Under the terms of the deal that government made with CEC and under the new special economic zone law which emerged as a result, it will pay government a flat fee of $1500 for every foreign worker in the zone, regardless of their position, for a five year employee certificate. No other fees, duties or taxes will be collected by government from the tenants of the zone.

Speaking at the Cayman Islands Chamber of Commerce’s latest “Be informed” meeting on Wednesday afternoon, Blick explained to a packed conference room that the tenants of the zone would pay a flat fee to CEC and not to government for their offices and all the other services provided in the business zone, and from that CEC would pass the per head employee certificate fee to government.

However, with no company registration fees, trade and business license or duty on the equipment that the companies in the zone will import for use in their business, the benefit to the country will be the duty government collects on what the zone’s workers spend outside their offices. In other words, the resulting population increase will generate more consumption and with it business for locals and duty to the public purse, Blick claimed.

Answering a number of questions about the project, Blick denied that the zone was just a commercial plaza and the CEC merely a landlord who could offer excellent concessions to tenants not available to other landlords and commercial developments.

“That is an over simplification,” Blick said, despite acknowledging that at its simplest the zone was offering bespoke office accommodation for an all-inclusive rate. He added that CEC would provide people in the zone with specialist services and described it as a business incubation centre. Blick said it was a major concern for the owners of CEC to deliver the message of why it was different from any other commercial development and why it was such an enormous benefit to Cayman.

The CEO said that there would be a careers bureau on the site but he admitted there was no obligation under the law created to ring-fence the zone for any of CEC’s tenants to employ any Caymanians. Nor will employers in the park be required to advertise any of the posts locally and they will be free to bring staff from overseas.

Blick said the first tenants would be moving into what he termed gateway accommodation next month, and although they would not be physically in the ‘zone’ until the offices are completed sometime next year, the principles governing the zone would apply to what will be the “zone” companies immediately. He said that eight technology companies had signed up for the park and they would be housed in the interim at empty offices around the island, such as the HSBC Centre and the Grand Pavilion.

When the development begins in the second quarter of this year, which Blick said the company was obliged to begin as part of its agreement with government to establish the zone, CEC, as the developers, would be paying stamp duty, planning fees and duty on all materials to construct the various technology campuses in Savannah. He said local sub-contractors would be employed to do that work, which would be another direct benefit to the country. Once completed, however, further benefits would come from the increase in people, new firms and technologies on island and the training opportunities they would bring, he explained.

He said the returns to the Cayman purse, which had been calculated by KPMG in a report commissioned by CEC, would be significant but he said that report would not be a public document. Blick stated that there would be an eventual contribution to the country’s GDP of $½ billion. 

Blick was also quizzed about the owners and investors in CEC but he remained tight lipped, revealing only that is was majority owned by Caymanians. Asked directly if the Hon development company had any remaining interest in the firm, Blick refused to be drawn as he said it was not relevant, and would not answer. Although Hon had been the original main investors in CEC, it is understood that the developers withdrew from the project but no explanation for their decision to pull out has ever been revealed.

Speaking to CNS after the presentation, Blick said it was difficult to deliver the message of just how beneficial the specialist zone would be to the country at large, and short of taking people to Dubai where there are existing extremely successful zones, it would be a matter of time before people began to realize the benefits.

Blick said, however, that the financial services sector was embracing the concept because although the companies in the zone would have access to far greater concessions than existing Cayman firms, it would be the clients of Cayman’s offshore industry that would be relocating to the zone.

“Every single law firm we have spoken to embraces this as they have said it has been needed for a long time as they have clients waiting to come to Cayman,” he told CNS, adding that offshore firms are desperate for the project as they have many clients that would have relocated to Cayman years ago but the existing regime was not attractive enough. Local firms will now be able to service their clients here on island, he explained, suggesting that the zone could act as a magnet for the elusive but much wanted physical presence.

He said the zone was welcomed by the private sector as well as government because it would create jobs, even though there was no obligation on the part of the zone tenants to employ local people. He said there would be fantastic opportunities for Caymanians as it was a “carrot approach” rather than the stick approach of the existing regime.

I should think that good

I should think that good governance, transparency, prudence and reason would dictate that the questions of "Whois?" and 'Wey de dollahs come frum to develop the SEZ?" would certainly be matters that would be made public early on in the process - long before any agreements were signed and certainly before any legislation was passed or authorities formed. Even more so if - as some say -  the SEZ will become "be the third pillar of Cayman's economy". That something so enormous and so important is at such an advanced stage and yet remains shrouded in such mystery is beyond comprehension.

But, then again maybe I am being too old fashioned. The global trade and business stage is fast changing and perhaps...maybe...just mayyybe...the Cayman Islands are on the cutting edge of the profitable side of a scenario playing out right now: a global smack-down pitting greedy Tax-Pig jurisdictions like the USA and EU  vs. tax havens and other "legitimate" tax-free jurisdictions like the Cayman Islands.

According to the SEZ law, a company can be here, but not here. (Get it?) The OECD and their member Tax Pigs are grunting for "tax transparency" so here it is! The SEZ offers the ultimate transparency! (Get it?) Total transparency - as in "invisible". This one should keep the IRS and EU and other Tax Pigs and securities and international trade regulators scratching their heads for a few years. Close a few loopholes and we open floodgates. Tek dat! Just when I thought the Cayman Islands was rolling over and showing the white of their belly to the OECD, I discover we were just playing possum. Then, BAM! We come up with the SEZ. Too doggone cool

Just when Tax Pigs like Uncle Sam and the OECD and the EU come up with some seemingly ironclad ways to penetrate the secrecy and financial sanctity of companies and financial entities domiciled within the Cayman Islands, we - being smarter and faster than they - come up with: "Hey, mon...wha' company yah chat 'bout? Wha' shares? Wha profits? Wha people? Wha' clients? Landah wha money? Mi nah know, sah. Dey not yah, mon!"  An SEZ Never-Never Land!  Freaking brilliant!

The only reason I am not bitchin' too loud about all the secrecy is that the Tax Justice Network and other Tax Pig minions absolutely hate the idea of the Cayman SEZ. To moi this is a good thing! (And enough reason to support he SEZ, in principle anyway.) We'll see. Maybe it won't pan out as I am hoping.

So maybe I understand now: to ensure that everyone down the road is protected from the Tax Pigs, as a starting basis we must protect the identity of the developers, the source of their funds and the secrecy of the SEZ people and eventually the SEZ entities. Ok...if this is the reason for all the hush-hush, then it makes sense to me.  I am all for anyone who flips a finger at the Tax Pigs and tells 'em to bugger off. Especially if they make like the Cheshire Cat and go, "POOF!", and all the Tax Pigs can see is their smile.

I have read all the comments

I have read all the comments on this article and can only draw the conclusion that there is something seriously deficient with the Cayman education system. Never have I read such a collection of ill-informed, prejudiced, reactionary, stupid drivel.
 
CEC will, by definition and by law, bring in new businesses, which are not already here and would not come here without a project such as this. It is bringing new pillars to the Cayman economy. It costs the Cayman Government nothing. It brings in new money. Yes, the businesses moving here will pay less than normal but:
 
(a) they would not move here otherwise; and
(b) they cannot compete with any existing business.
 
This is a genuine win-win for everyone concerned. Obviously it's no surprise to see CNS spin it in the most negative way possible, but it's depressing to see how many Caymanians would rather see their country decline back to a third-world back-water rather than allow a developer with some drive and vision create something (and, whisper it, make a profit in the process).
 
What is wrong with you people?

If you want to get it back, stop relying on government hand outs, stop requiring government to provide first world services without us having to paying direct taxes and then they will not need to rely on investors to fill the treasury. Then you will have it back. Not sure you will want it then but your choice. In the meantime, chill alittle.

My friend, can you not

My friend, can you not appreciate the short-term nature of infrastructure projects of this kind?   A few contractors (probably friends of the Premier -- call me a cynic if you must, but let's wait and see) will be busy for a few years and then we'll back to square one!
 
Look back:  Built on promises of fiscal benefits for gowerment and jobs for Caymanians, Camana Bay (still expanding) was a huge build project  and so was the Ritz Carlton, AND YET the country finds itself in financial difficulties and with the largest youth unemployment problem for many years.  Plus, many of the proposed projects will received such generous tax and duty concessions that they will not help the gowerment's fiscal position in any way. 
 
The CIG is a one-trick pony: Inward investment at ALL and ANY cost, driven purely by political expediency; by a desperate need to pull something (anything) out of the hat before the next general election.  However, to bring Cayman out of recession for the long-term will take more than just a few inward investment projects.  To begin with, it will take a government who:
 
1) Believes in the the power of the LOCAL people and the power of the LOCAL economy to stage a recovery.  It's clear Bush has lost faith in Caymanians. In his mind, only rich ex-pats can help Cayman out of it's economic woes.
 
 2) Will concentrate on stregthening the main pillars of the Cayman economy and not go chasing around the world to find supposed new pillars to prop up the Cayman economy.  By the way: although much has been said about the Shetty Hospital creating Medical Toursim as a new PILLAR of the economy?  A couple of weeks ago Shetty finally told the truth that it will mainly be a hospital serving the local community!
 
3) Has Ministers with a proper education and understanding of how to create joined up policies to start a long-term recovery and to make a real difference to the lives of all Caymanian's, and not just a few in selected demographic groups, e.g. Ministers of Religion, and those priviledged enough to have mortgages and who complain they cannot afford the repayments.

Do you really not understand

Do you really not understand the concept of indirect benefits?
Ok... follow me now. Read very slowly:
CEC will build a lot of buildings for its tenants over a period of 5-7 years.  Local contractors will build these buildings. They will hire local people to work for them.  This is what is called an indirect benefit because the economic activity created by the construction is not CEC's core business.
In addition, CEC will bring companies and people to the Cayman Islands. These people will spend money by renting apartments, buying gas and groceries, going out to eat, etc.  This creates economic activity and leads to more indirect jobs.  The loss of a lot of expatriate workers over the past four years has hurt the economy badly.  If you'll notice, as the expats left, unemployment of Caymanians went up (Look it up).
CEC will also lead to employment for some Caymanians (like a good portion of its current staff), and will lead to some additional fees. But the indirect economic benefits will be more than the direct benefits.  This is often the case with development. Don't be misled by the slanted approach of this article.
If CEC takes off - and note that I do say IF because I really don't know enough about the business model - it will be a very, very good thing for the Cayman Islands.

Considering they claim to bring great benefit to the country. We must be wary of sellers who claim magical deeds by their products. Same thing goes for this.

The title for this article should be Jason Blick Fools The Cayman Government. All aspects of historical economic development have been circumvented by this new economic zone. There is no longer a level playing field for companies in Cayman.

Indirect Investment - do the banks, law firms, hotels, and construction companies not produce indirect investment? All the while paying all duties, fees, and other charges levied on them? If these companies are so wealthy and mighty they should be able to handle this as well.
 

This venture raises a lot of questions and I think we need to start asking them.  As the Premier would say, we are not the only girl on the block, (however ever girl on the block knows you do not want to be the cheapest girl on the block).

Nor will employers in the park be required to advertise any of the posts locally and they will be free to bring staff from overseas".
In addidtion to all the other negatives that could be derived from this potential sector of our economy, our Political Representatives are not going to ensure that any such "inderect benefits to Govt coffers" will not be evaded through the use of 'TELECOMMUTING' or Work-At-Home employees.

Through my tinted glasses (they used to be rose coloured) the CEC appears like it could become an EC (expat city), further segregating the island and its people which is not ideal at this time in history.
As an expat I find it unbelievable that there is no requirement to hire Caymanians- I can't imagine how Caymanians feel.
I also agree with an earlier post- won't every Class B bank that has no Cayman customers relocate to CEC?
Say what we like about Caymana Bay and Dart- at least they hire Caymanians and contribute a lot of money and land to the local economy.

It is obvious that this UDP Government and the people of Cayman have been beguiled by flashy talkers with foreign accents who are promising to save Cayman, the world and create a new economic pillar. When will we ever learn?

CEC is nothing more than a REAL ESTATE deal where they will get all the concessions, discounts and Immigration waivers whilst established businesses will have to pay the "full monty" to facilitate a landlords dream. How is that fair?

There is nothing in this project that truly represents cutting edge, it's a flashy business park situated in Savannah nothing more; so why all the Govt giveaways and concessions when nothing is guaranteed for the public coffers?

In short, CEC is an attempt by a landlord and his marketing dream team to bring a few thousand extra persons who do not view the Cayman Islands as a cutting edge jurisdiction like Silicon Valley or Dubai. The real question is how can you have a tax free zone within a tax neutral jurisdiction?

The Directors and Owners of CEC will get all the financial benefits while the desperate and poorly equipped Cayman Govt have once again negotiated a terrible deal with a used car sales man. I swear the man must think we all have courgetts growing out of our head.

Sadly, other tax payers will have to subsidize the CEC whilst XXXXX will be laughing all the way to the bank.
