The Isle of Man continues to promote its economic and taxation
cooperation scheme with other countries by signing a tax
information exchange agreement (TIEA) with Switzerland. This brings
the total number TIEAs signed by the Isle of Man to twenty
nine.
The agreement was signed during a ceremony in London on 28 August
2013, by Frank Grütter Chargé d'affaires a.i. of
Switzerland and Eddie Teare MHK, the Isle of Man's Treasury
Minister.
The Isle of Man is a leading jurisdiction in terms of the number of
bilateral cooperation agreements it has concluded in the area of
tax information exchange. The Island has thirty nine tax
cooperation agreements which incorporate the Organization of
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) international standard
on tax transparency and information exchange.
Minister Teare said:
"The Isle of Man Government welcomes the signing of a Tax
Information Exchange Agreement with Switzerland, which I understand
to be Switzerland's first. I am delighted that the Island is a
party to such a significant event. The signing of this agreement
demonstrates the Island's continuing commitment to meet current
international standards in tax transparency and effective exchange
of information."
