Tax Treaty Negotiations With Serbia and Montenegro

December 11, 2003

Negotiations for an income tax treaty between Canada and Serbia and Montenegro will commence the first week of March 2004 in Belgrade.

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 systems of Serbia and Montenegro so that these issues might be taken into account in negotiations.

Persons wishing to offer comments concerning the negotiations may send their views to:
