Topical Questions
- Question
- What arrangements is the Economic Secretary making in relation to international agreements about tax avoidance and evasion? I am thinking particularly of Belize, where I understand a major donor to the Conservative party may be avoiding taxation.
- Answer
-
We have made a great deal of progress on tax information exchange agreements in the last year. I believe we have made more progress in the last year that in the previous 10 years put together. Last week the OECD published a report showing good progress across the board. In regard to Belize, however, I can tell the House that no agreements have been signed so far.
