It was a very interesting meeting that lasted almost 5 hours. For those who were not able to follow the meeting live, the European Parliament has made a recording of the meeting available. If you missed the live webcast, it is certainly worth watching!

On October 6, 2015 Poland and Sri Lanka concluded a new Agreement for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (Hereafter: the DTA). When entering into force this new DTA will replace the existing Double Taxation Agreement (stemming from 1980) that currently is in place between Poland and Sri Lanka.

Although the new DTA has been signed, it has not entered into force yet. For the DTA to enter into force, the respective ratification procedures have to have been finalized in both countries.

 

Below we will discuss a selection of provisions included in the DTA of which we think they might interest our readers.
