Seychelles and Guernsey are to sign a Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA).

Guernsey has announced that it will conclude 6 bilateral Tax Information Exchange Agreements (TIEAs) negotiated with members of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), in line with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) priority of working closely on tax issues with developing countries. The tax treaty between Guernsey will be signed. Also, Guernsey is to sign the agreements on sharing tax information with Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Swaziland and Zambia.

Ron van der Merwe, Chair of the Tax Agreements Working Group of the SADC, said: “The multi-party TIEA negotiations between 6 SADC member states and Guernsey is considered to be a major step forward in creating a basis for exchange of information for SADC members. This was a first opportunity for SADC and it is hoped that it will be the start of an ongoing programme in the negotiation of TIEAs by member states.”
