| BVI Signs OECD Model Agreements With Nordic States |
by Amanda Banks, Tax-News.com, London
Wednesday, May 20, 2009
The British Virgin Islands government announced this week the signing of bilateral
tax information exchange agreements with the six Nordic countries, the Faroe Islands,
Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden at the Icelandic Embassy in Copenhagen,
Denmark, on May 18.
The agreements were signed by BVI Minister of Health and Social Development
Dancia Penn and senior officials from the Nordic group. The OECD model agreements
will provide for the exchange of information in tax matters in both civil tax
matters and where there is concrete proof of the perpetration of a tax crime.
At the ceremony Penn also concluded agreements for the avoidance of double
taxation with the Nordic group on behalf of the British Virgin Islands. The
agreements will encourage increased trade and investment between the respective
countries by removing double taxation and setting up a beneficial legal framework.
The British Virgin Island’s government has also announced that it is
to sign agreements for the exchange of information in tax matters with France and New Zealand in the near future, moving the
jurisdiction closer to a place on the OECD’s white list of fully compliant
territories.
