Taxation: Double Taxation

My right honourable friend, the Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Stephen Timms), has today made the following Written Ministerial Statement. An arrangement amending the 1947 double taxation arrangement between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of Montserrat was signed in London on 9 December 2009. After signature, the text of the arrangement was deposited in the Libraries of both Houses and made available on HM Revenue and Customs’ website. The text will be scheduled to a draft Order in Council and laid before the House of Commons shortly.
