Why doing business in the Cayman Islands is better?

The crews of 10 commercial ships were saved by the Caymanians on February 8th, 1794. Rough seas caused the ships to hit a reef and get stranded.

According to legend, as payment for their generosity and since one of the ships contained a member of the King’s own family, King George III of the United Kingdom promised the Caymanians that they would never have to impose taxes again.
