Luxembourg Concludes Tax Agreement With The Netherlands,
by Ulrika Lomas, Tax-News.com, Brussels
Monday, June 08, 2009
Luxembourg Minister of Budget Luc Frieden concluded a new tax agreement with Dutch
State Secretary of Finance Jan Kees de Jager on 29 May. The agreement will provide
for the exchange of information in tax matters between the two countries in
accordance with the OECD standard.
A statement from Luxembourg’s Ministry of Finance said that the
protocol, which amends the existing double tax convention of May 8,1968, provides
for the exchange of information on request in individual cases between the tax
administrations of both countries. It applies to tax years 2010 and following
and has no retroactive effect. The agreement does not seek an automatic exchange
of bank information and does not allow for general inquiries, or so called ‘fishing
expeditions’.
Luxembourg has now concluded six such agreements for the exchange of information
in tax matters, one with the United States in May, and another with France and
Denmark in early June, as well as agreements with Bahrain and India.
In a statement State Secretary De Jager has praised Luxemburg for its cooperative
attitude towards information exchange, he commented:
“If all countries on the so-called grey list of the OECD make an effort
to exchange information, the era of banking secrecy for tax matters nears its
end. I will continue to strive for worldwide transparency in tax data and an
easy exchange of data between the countries.”
State Secretary De Jager also revealed that the Netherlands is to conclude
more such agreements soon. Negotiations are in progress with countries such
as Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Bermuda, Liechtenstein and the Cayman Islands.
