The Netherlands Antilles has signed a tax agreement with Mexico laying down a legal framework under which their tax authorities will exchange information on tax matters in order to prevent tax fraud, the financing of terrorism and money laundering.
State Secretary of Finance for the Netherlands Antilles, Alex Rosaria, and Mexican Finance Minister, Augustín Cartens, signed the agreement on September 2 in Mexico City ahead of the fifth Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information.
On September 10, the Netherlands Antilles is scheduled to sign six new tax information exchange treaties with the Nordic Countries, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, as well as a protocol to amend a double taxation agreement with Norway.
After that date, the Netherlands Antilles should be considered a 'white-listed' country by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, as it will have substantially-implemented the OECD standard on exchange of tax information.
