Hong Kong And Malta To Discuss DTA,
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong
Monday, January 25, 2010
Malta and Hong Kong have been holding preliminary meetings on a bilateral double
taxation agreement (DTA), in preparation for technical discussions
scheduled to commence in March this year.
Malta’s Parliamentary Secretary for Revenues and Land, Jason Azzopardi,
has been holding meetings in Hong Kong on such an agreement, which would be
the first DTA entered into by Hong Kong with a country in the south of Europe.
Malta will therefore hope to gain from a DTA with Hong Kong, not only because
the latter is a major and developing financial and investment center in Asia,
but also because it may become a staging point for Hong Kong into its neighbors
in southern Europe and North Africa.
Until June 2001, Hong Kong had no DTAs in place. However, its government is
now entering an increasing number of tax treaties of various types. It can now
negotiate its own DTAs independently of China. It is not able to take advantage of any DTAs which China may enter into
because only mainland taxes are mentioned in those treaties.
Malta itself has entered into more than 50 DTAs, including with the United
Kingdom, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Italy. All of these agreements
follow the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development model tax
treaty convention. No details are yet available of the terms and conditions
of the proposed DTA with Hong Kong.
