I've removed the CIA World Factbook rewriting/reformatting tag from the beginning of the article, since the article is now reformatted and much of the current content is not from the Factbook. I'm new to Wikipedia, so I'm not sure the extent of rewriting that is normally considered sufficient to remove such tags, but it seems like enough to me. If anyone feels it should still be tagged, please feel free to re-tag it. Thanks! Fortuna13 21:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. - have added the CIA template at the bottom of the page under References, so it's still clear that CIA World Factbook info is in there. Fortuna13 21:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seem the urban legend part was not encyclopedic. It seem the real story was the colonial government just did not set up any tax law for the most of the colonial history until post war. British Hong Kong had law for direct tax only on the eve of WWII and they failed to copy the income tax law from UK, instead they got a scheduler system that rental income and salary were taxed differently and separately, due to disagreement on any tax from local businessman. So did Cayman Islands, it should cite some tax law history book of Cayman Islands instead of urban legend. Matthew_hk tc 02:15, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
