The Government of Jersey has made the text available of the Agreement between Jersey and the Republic of Rwanda for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income as signed in London on June 26, 2015 (hereafter: DTA) on its website.
Although signed, the Agreement has not yet entered into force. For the DTA to enter into force, the respective ratification procedures have to have been finalized in both countries.

So as always, below we will highlight some of the paragraphs included in the DTA.
