Tax Treaty Negotiations with Luxembourg, Moldova and Slovakia

Finance Minister Paul Martin today announced that negotiations for the conclusion of a revised income tax treaty between Canada and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg have recently started and that negotiations with the Republic of Moldova and the Slovak Republic will be held respectively in September and November 1998.

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 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, 140 O'Connor Street, 17th Floor, Ottawa, K1A 0G5.
