Sunny Bank

Posted by: Riviera Reporter in Uncategorised  on

Sent by Anthony Vyvyan, Sunny Bank Charity, by email

Thank you for your note on Sunny Bank in your last issue. I would like to spell out that our goal is to ensure that, in the spirit of Sunny Bank over more than a century, no people in need are excluded for lack of means from a secure retirement in an Anglo-friendly environment. So “Sunny Bank Charity” has been set up as a legally separate association able to receive tax-free legacies and gifts. With volunteer and financial support Sunny Bank can expect once again to be a significant contributor to the anglophone community in our region.

Monaco opts in

MONACO OPTS IN
I note from your last issue that Monaco remains on the OECD list as an “uncooperative” tax haven. I’m not clear what the official reaction is to this, given Prince Albert’s commitment to reform in this area. Name and address provided, Monaco

In your last issue, number 123, you say that Monaco is seeking entry to the European Parliament. Not so. You are confusing that body with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).
