We understand from DITC that each entity will receive in due course an access password to enable it to file its ES Annual Return (for entities that are conducting a relevant activity and are required to file an ES Annual Return). The passcode will be sent to the nominated contact person. If the nominated contact person is the registered office, we shall forward the passcode once received to the contact person on record to enable you to access the DITC portal for direct filing purposes. You will need to advise who is to be nominated the secondary person for filing
purposes so that we are able to update the Portal accordingly.

Should you need our assistance in arranging the ES Return filing to the Tax Authority, we will be charging a fee for arranging the submission to the Tax Authority.

Please do not hesitate to contact your relationship manager for this purpose or alternatively, email us at info.caymanislands@portcullis.co should you have any concerns or wish to discuss any aspect of this letter.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
