| Malta Signs TIEA With Gibraltar |
by Robert Lee, Tax-News.com, London
Friday, January 27, 2012
Malta has welcomed the signing of a Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) with Gibraltar,
which will provide both countries with tax information on request when there is evidence of fiscal crime.
The High Commissioner of Malta in London Joseph Zammit Tabona
signed on behalf of the government of Malta and Gibraltar's Minister with responsibility
for Financial Services, Gilbert Licudi signed on behalf of the government of
Gibraltar, at the Malta High Commission, London.
Tabona said: “It is my pleasure to sign this Agreement with Gibraltar - which
reinforces links and strengthens bilateral relations, particularly in the fields
of financial services and business. The signing of TIEAs demonstrates
good practice in the global financial sector.”
Licudi,
added: "I am delighted to have signed this Tax Information Exchange Agreement
with Malta and especially so given the very important social, cultural and political
links that we share. A significant part of Gibraltar's population are descendants
of Maltese nationals which means that our heritage is intrinsically bound together.
There is already an element of business activity that we share with Malta. We
trust that this agreement will encourage the development of an even closer business
relationship."
Both signatories confirmed the agreement included all standard means to ensure
due process was followed in tax information requests, including, for example,
provisions to protect confidentiality of information. The TIEA will also adhere
to public policy considerations and provisions related to protecting legal privilege.
On the eve of the signing, officials from both countries discussed various
opportunities where Malta and Gibraltar can cooperate more fully and further strengthen
relations, particularly in financial services.
