Double Taxation Agreements
We are currently in the process of restructuring our pages concerning Double Taxation Agreements. You will be able to reach some of the Agreements via the links below and more will be added gradually. The majority of our Double Taxation Agreements remain in the Double Taxation Relief Manual (see below for further details).
Treaty status
These agreements take the form of Statutory Instruments.
Agreements which entered into force within the past few weeks are also available from our Statutory Instruments page until they have been published by The Stationery Office Ltd (TSO). They can then be accessed on the web site of the Office of Public Sector Information.
Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs)
TIEAs are bilateral agreements under which territories agree to co-operate in tax matters through exchange of information.
They are published on this website following signature but the agreements enter into force only when the necessary Parliamentary procedures have been completed in both countries. The date on which individual agreements take effect will depend on the specific provisions in each agreement. The Agreements take the form of Statutory Instruments. This page will be updated as individual agreements enter into force.

Guides
We have produced some guides on this subject which can be found in our International Series of leaflets and booklets.
