Anguilla
Anguilla ( ) is a British overseas territory in the Caribbean. It is one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, lying east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and directly north of Saint Martin. The territory consists of the main island of Anguilla, approximately 16 miles (26 km) long by 3 miles (5 km) wide at its widest point, together with a number of much smaller islands and cays with no permanent population. The island's capital is The Valley. The total land area of the territory is 35 square miles (90 km2),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gov.ai/anguillafacts.php )〕 with a population of approximately 13,500 (2006 estimate).
Anguilla has become a popular tax haven, having no capital gains, estate, profit or other forms of direct taxation on either individuals or corporations. In April 2011, faced with a mounting deficit, it introduced a 3% "Interim Stabilisation Levy", Anguilla's first form of income tax.
== Name ==
The name Anguilla is an anglicised or latinate form of earlier Spanish ', French ''フランス語:anguille'', or Italian ', all meaning "eel" in reference to the island's shape. For similar reasons, it was formerly known as Snake or Snake Island.
