St Kitts, New Zealand Sign TIEA,
by Mary Swire, Tax-News.com, Hong Kong
Thursday, December 03, 2009
New Zealand's Revenue Minister, Peter Dunne, has announced that the country has signed a tax
information exchange agreement with the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis.
The TIEA adheres to the internationally-agreed Organisation for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD) standard for the exchange of information for tax purposes,
and gives the tax authorities of both countries a greater ability to request
and exchange taxpayer information and to exchange information on a wide range
of taxes.
It also provides that neither tax authority can refuse to provide information
solely because it does not require the information for its own domestic purposes,
or because the information is held by a bank or similar institution.
The agreement will enter into force on the date of completion of ratification
procedures by both countries, and shall have effect for taxable periods beginning,
or taxes arising, on or after January 1 following that date.
Dunne said: "I welcome the signing of this latest TIEA, which brings
the number of such agreements that New Zealand has entered into this year to
10.”
A "great many" TIEAs had been signed internationally this year, he
added, as offshore financial centres seek to amass a sufficient number of
them to meet OECD standards for transparency and information exchange.
St Kitts was placed on the OECD grey list of countries that had made commitments
but had not yet entered into the minimum number of TIEAs to be deemed to have
substantially met its standard. It is said to be making arrangements to sign
sufficient TIEAs to achieve that aim as soon as possible.
