| Nordic Countries Announce Forthcoming TIEAs With Bermuda, BVI |
by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
According to Norden, the official site of the Nordic Council of Ministers, the seven nordic countries are to sign tax information exchange agreements
and commercial agreements with Bermuda in April and the British Virgin Islands
in May.
The tax information exchange agreements are part of a joint campaign by the
parties to advance the global efforts to stop tax evasion.
The tax information exchange agreements will enable the tax authorities to
access information about any persons who are seeking to evade payment of tax
on income and capital investment activities and will also help in disclosing assets
that have not been reported in their home country. Information to be exchanged
includes information on beneficial ownership of companies in the whole ownership
chain; settlors, trustees and beneficiaries of trusts, and information held
by banks and financial institutions, noted the Nordic council’s release.
The agreements with Bermuda will be signed at a ceremony at the Swedish Embassy
in Washington on April 16. The agreements with the British Virgin Islands will
be signed at a ceremony held in conjunction with the Nordic Council’s
Finance Ministers meeting in Reykjavik on May 18.
The agreements are a continuation of a comprehensive project undertaken by
the Nordic countries, who have already entered into similar agreements with
the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey and will also sign such an agreement with
the Cayman Islands in Stockholm on April 1. Furthermore, advanced negotiations
are currently underway with Aruba, the British Virgin Islands
and the Netherlands Antilles. Negotiations are also ongoing with other jurisdictions.
