Colombia and Lesotho: Taxation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what involvement officials of her Department had during the process of negotiation and ratification of the UK’s new tax treaties with Lesotho and Columbia.

Answer

HM Revenue and Customs is the lead department for the negotiation of the UK’s tax treaties, reporting to HM Treasury Ministers. HMRC seeks views from a range of interested parties, including DFID, and then decides with which countries to seek to engage. DFID are fully supportive of the approach. DFID and HMRC officials work closely together to deliver technical assistance to build capacity in developing country tax authorities.
