PROTOCOL TO THE DOUBLE TAX TREATY BETWEEN THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND BELGIUM

The Protocol which took effect on 3 March 2015 amends the Double Tax Treaty between the Czech Republic and Belgium. The Protocol’s primary aim is to ensure tax information is exchanged in line with up-to-date trends and to improve coordination between both countries’ tax authorities, which should help reduce potential tax evasion and fraud. The modified provisions of the treaty will be implemented and apply to tax periods commencing 1 January 2016 or later. The text of the Protocol was made available in the Collection of International Treaties.
