| Canada Begins TIEA Negotiations With Four States |
by Mike Godfrey, Tax-News.com, Washington
Monday, July 26, 2010
The Canadian government has announced that, in the last two months, negotiations
towards establishing official lines of cooperation between the Canada Revenue
Agency and third countries’ tax authorities have begun with four countries.
In a statement on July 22 the Canadian government said that on May 13, 2010,
it had begun negotiations with Brunei for the conclusion of a Tax Information
Exchange Agreement (TIEA), and initiated similar talks with Costa Rican authorities
on June 22, 2010, with Belize on June 26, 2010, and most recently with Liechtenstein
on July 6, 2010.
According to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, Canada
has so far concluded a total of five Tax Information Exchange Agreements with
territories that were originally placed on the ‘grey list’ of territories
that as of April 2, 2009, had 'committed to the internationally agreed standard
but had not yet substantially implemented it'. Tax Information Exchange Agreements
provide for a legal framework wherein a country can request access to tax information
from a third signatory country.
Canada most recently signed TIEAs with Dominica on June 29, and with the Cayman
Islands on June 24. Previous TIEAs concluded by Canada were with the Bahamas,
Bermuda and the Netherlands Antilles.
