As of 26 March, the Cayman Islands Government has deferred the obligation to pay annual fees for all companies (including limited liability companies (LLCs) and foundation companies) and exempted liability partnerships (ELPs) until 30 June 2020.
The annual return filing deadline for these entities has also been extended to 30 June 2020. Penalties for late payment or late filing of annual returns will apply as of 1 July 2020.
