Government of Canada to Hold Tax Treaty Negotiations With Peru

Finance Minister Paul Martin today announced that negotiations for an income tax treaty between Canada and Peru will be held for the first time in May 2001.

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

Persons wishing to offer comments concerning the negotiations should send their views in writing to the Department of Finance, Tax Policy Branch, L’Esplanade Laurier, 17th Floor, East Tower, 140 O’Connor Street, Ottawa, Canada, K1A 0G5.
