It is important to note that Cayman Islands companies are required to disclose certain information about their directors and shareholders to the registrar. To ensure that all information about company directors, officers, and shareholders is correct and up-to-date, the company must keep a register of directors and shareholders and file an annual return with the Registrar.
No need to worry about taxes for your Cayman Exempted Company. You won't have to pay income, capital gains, or withholding taxes.

Management
Companies are not required to provide financial documents when filing annual returns; hence, there is no need to do accounting and/or bookkeeping. Companies are not required to provide financial documents when filing annual returns.
If you want to have an accurate financial picture of your company, you can opt for an accounting and bookkeeping plan from Vepapu. This makes your journey very simple, transparent, and data-driven.
Every year, your company needs to pay a fee (which depends on the authorized share capital of the company) to the government. This is to keep your company's records up-to-date and legal. You also have to send a report to the registrar, which is like the official keeper of records. In this report, you say that no changes, other than ones already notified to the Registrar, have been made to the Memorandum of Association, and no business has been carried out within the country. This keeps everything transparent and in line with the rules.
We make sure that you don't miss these steps, so your business can run smoothly without any issues. We will inform you of these encounters at least 2 months in advance, which gives you flexibility to take actions easily on the Vepapu dashboard.
First, you need to keep your local registered agent and registered address in place. This helps keep your company's official records accurate and accessible.
Also, you have to pay an annual fee. This fee is based on the authorised share capital of the company. This keeps your company compliant with the Cayman rules and regulations.
No, a Cayman Exempted Company isn't required to hold an annual general meeting (AGM) as per the Companies Law. But if the company's Articles of Association say it should or if most of the Board of Directors agree, then an AGM can happen. It's not a must, but it's possible if you want to have one.
The maintenance costs include the following:
1. Annual fee (depends on the authorised share capital of the company); and
2. Registered Agent fee.
Directors
