The UK Chancellor has hailed a new tax deal with the Isle of Man as a 'momentous step forward in tax transparency'.

On a visit to Washington last week George Osborne announced that the Island had become the first to sign up to a FATCA sharing arrangement with the UK.

Chief Minister Allan Bell believes the business community on the Island will welcome the announcement:
