|
6/4/2009By Claire Deléris
On June 3d, France and Luxembourg signed an amendment to the tax treaty dated 1st April 1958 extending the scope of Article 22 relating to exchange of information. This amendment is aimed at allowing exchange of information without limitation regarding the nature of the tax, persons and information covered by the information requests.
Such information requests between the French and Luxembourg tax administrations in the contest of tax investigations will thus be able to cover banking information currently covered by the banking secrecy without being blocked by Luxembourg internal legislation.
With this amendment, the exchange of information article of the France Luxembourg tax treaty will conform with the OECD standard language and contribute to the fight againt fraud and tax evasion.
France also engaged discussions in this respect with other main European countries, including Belgium, Switzerland and Austria. | Check Effective Permissions | | /globaltaxblog/_layouts/SecurityReportAccount.aspx?id={ItemId}&List={ListId}&Type=ListItem | 0x40000000 | 0x0 | ContentType | 0x01 | 10 |
