Treasury written question – answered at on 2 July 2019.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many tax treaties are currently being negotiated.
The UK is currently actively negotiating, or will begin the first round of negotiations this year, with 11 jurisdictions. There are a further 13 jurisdictions with which we have begun negotiations but where progress has stalled for a variety of reasons, for example changes of government in the other country. We also continue our work to update the UK’s treaty network to reflect the minimum standards from the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative, which includes working with our treaty partners to introduce the Multilateral Instrument (MLI) to implement tax treaty related measures to prevent BEPS.
