| GCC Customs Revenue Sharing Agreement Near |
by Lorys Charalambous, Tax-News.com, Cyprus
Wednesday, November 10, 2010
Gulf Cooperation Council countries are nearing an agreement on the terms for a
regional customs union that would establish a free trade zone within the six-party
bloc with harmonized tariffs of 5% on imported goods.
Director-general at the UAE Finance Ministry, speaking at the sidelines of
a conference on the GCC common market in Dubai, said according to Reuters that “following the
unification of customs at five per cent in 2003, a common market would require
these customs barriers to be removed [within the GCC].”
“We are in the final stages of agreeing on how to distribute the amount
received from the customs [collected],” the UAE diplomat added.
Progress towards establishing the free trade zone has been slow with members
continuing to dispute where the GCC Central Bank should be placed; the removal of non-tariff barriers intra-GCC; and how revenues should be distributed amongst signatories.
The GCC comprises of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United
Arab Emirates.
