Tax Treaty Negotiations with the Republic of Iceland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Republic of Uzbekistan

Finance Minister Paul Martin today announced that negotiations for the conclusion of an income tax treaty between Canada and the Republic of Slovenia have recently started and that negotiations with the Republic of Uzbekistan and the Republic of Iceland will be held respectively in December 1995 and March 1996.

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 Canada's tax treaties. The government is particularly interested in learning of any difficulties encountered by Canadians under the tax system of those countries so that these issues may be taken into account in those 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, 140 O'Connor Street, 17th Floor, Ottawa, K1A 0G5.
