Multinational Companies: Taxation

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 29 April 2019 to Question 247155 and with reference to the UK's tax treaties with Uruguay, Sweden and Slovenia containing non-discrimination clauses, why those countries are not included in the Government's list of jurisdictions with which the UK has a full tax treaty.

Answer

Following a recent update to HMRC’s International Manual, which lists the countries with which the UK has a non-discrimination article, these three countries were inadvertently omitted. This was an oversight which has now been corrected. However, the treaties with Uruguay, Sweden and Slovenia have always been available on the gov.uk page that provides the full text of all of the UK’s treaties.
