- Draft legislation
This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a UK Statutory Instrument: The International Tax Enforcement (Dominica) Order 2011 No. 1686
(This note is not part of the Order)
The Schedule to this Order contains an agreement (“the Agreement”) dealing with the exchange of information for tax purposes between the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica. This Order brings the Agreement into effect.
Article 1 provides for citation.
Article 2 makes a declaration as to the effect and content of the Agreement.
The Agreement provides for the exchange of information foreseeably relevant to the administration or enforcement or recovery of the taxes covered by the Agreement by the revenue authorities of the two countries. Information will be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement.
The Agreement will enter into force on the date of the later notifications by each country of the completion of its legislative procedures. It will take effect as follows:
(a)in respect of requests relating to criminal tax matters, on the date of entry into force; and
(b)in respect of all other requests, for taxable periods beginning on or after the date of entry into force or, where there is no taxable period, for all charges to tax arising on or after that date.
The date of entry into force will, in due course, be published in the London, Edinburgh and Belfast Gazettes.
In line with government commitments, a Tax Information and Impact Note has not been prepared for this Order as it gives effect to a previously announced policy to enact a tax information exchange agreement.
