Tax Treaty Negotiations With Bolivia

April 11, 2003

Negotiations for an income tax treaty between Canada and the Republic of Bolivia will commence June 23, 2003.

The purpose of this bulletin is to ensure that persons whose interests are affected have an opportunity to inform the government of any particular issues of double taxation that might be resolved in a tax treaty. The government is particularly interested in learning of any difficulties encountered by Canadians under the tax system of Bolivia so that these issues might be taken into account in negotiations.
