UK and Ecuador announce tax treaty

Newsletter issue – September 2024

The Government has published details of a new tax treaty with Ecuador. The UK and Ecuador signed their first comprehensive double tax treaty on 6 August. Once ratified, it will affect taxation on income and gains between the two countries. It will mainly cover UK income tax, corporation tax and capital gains tax and is primarily based on the OECD Model Tax Convention (MTC), bar a few deviations.

The treaty document, published by HMRC states: “The Convention shall apply also to any identical or substantially similar taxes that are imposed after the date of signature of the Convention in addition to, or in place of, the existing taxes. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall notify each other of any significant changes that have been made in their taxation laws.”
