Main Business Activities

  • Holding investments

Shell has been present in Saint Lucia since 2016 through investment holding companies inherited as part of its acquisition of BG Group, which began business there in 2002. These entities have interests in companies doing business in Trinidad and Tobago. See Trinidad and Tobago for more information.

We reviewed recently acquired entities, such as holding companies in Saint Lucia for upstream and liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations in the Caribbean. Following this review, we consolidated the operations and simplified the holding structures. As a result, we identified four Saint Lucian entities for liquidation and completed these liquidations in 2021.

Higher revenues in 2020 resulted from restructuring undertaken to consolidate interests in companies doing business in Trinidad and Tobago. However, an overall loss before tax arose as a result of the impact of asset impairments in Saint Lucia.

Country
Throughout this report, “country” is used as the primary descriptor for a geographical area because that is the word used by the OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project in their proposal for country-by-country reporting (CbCR). This is one of the four minimum reporting standards to which over 100 countries have committed, covering the tax residence jurisdictions of nearly all large multinational enterprises (MNEs). In this report “country” may also refer to locations, jurisdictions or territories which have their own tax regimes or discrete rules.

Dividend
After payment of costs and taxes, a company may choose to make a dividend payment to its shareholders as a return on their investment in the company. After payments of dividends, any remaining surplus is termed ‘retained earnings’ and is available for reinvestment into the business.
