| Switzerland Adopts Four DTAs |
by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels
Tuesday, November 29, 2011
Switzerland’s Federal Council has adopted the dispatches on four further
double taxation agreements (DTAs), which will now be submitted to parliament
for approval.
According to the Swiss federal administration, the DTAs with Russia, Spain,
Hong Kong, and the United Arab Emirates contain provisions on administrative
assistance in accordance with the internationally applicable standard. They
also promote the development of bilateral economic relations.
Commenting on the adoption, the administration states that: “The negotiated
economic benefits of the DTAs include reductions in withholding tax, or even
tax exemption for dividends, interest and royalty payments in the source state,
as well as arbitration clauses within the scope of mutual agreement procedures”.
It adds: “The agreements thereby facilitate the activities of the export
economy, promote bilateral investments and contribute to the prosperity of Switzerland
and that of the partner state. In addition, they prevent tax discrimination”.
The administration ends by noting that the Swiss cantons and business associations
concerned have welcomed the conclusion of the DTAs.
