Jersey to sign Double Tax Agreement with Qatar

Jersey has been working for some time to build strong links in the Gulf region, including opening a Jersey Finance representative office in Abu Dhabi last year.  Next week the Island will reap the fruits of its labours as it signs a double tax treaty with the Gulf state of Qatar, only the 4^th time the Island has entered into a double tax agreement.

Geoff Cook, head of the Island's finance industry promotional body, commented:  “The agreement makes it easier and more straightforward to conduct business between Jersey and Qatar and will therefore play an important part in encouraging increasing business flows between the two locations.”
