However, an in-depth analysis suggests that the rigorous vetting and significant investment required make the CIP a less appealing option for these "scoundrels." When comparing CIP to other means of obtaining passports, it becomes evident that the program isn't the preferred route for those with ill intentions. Amidst this backdrop, political motivations behind the criticisms emerge, raising questions about the future of CIP in light of looming visa impositions by the UK and Schengen.

Projects like 'New Opportunities Investment Limited' and 'Horseshoe Cove Resort' felt the axe as Grenada seeks to ensure commitment to construction schedules.

[image] Brazil Eyes Big Hikes on Overseas Cryptocurrency Taxes [image]() In a move to modernize its notoriously complex tax system, the Brazilian Congress debates significant changes that could majorly impact the cryptocurrency landscape. Among the proposed reforms is a higher tax rate on cryptocurrencies held in foreign exchanges, categorizing them as âfinancial assetsâ. Thus, cryptocurrency gains from overseas would be subjected to tax rates up to 22.5%, based on the value. However, domestic crypto transactions remain unchanged, still adhering to Brazil's existing tax laws. Critics warn these changes could stifle the nation's crypto innovation, pushing investors offshore. A decision is anticipated on August 28th, with potential enactment by January 2024.
