HC Deb 20 January 1948 vol 446 cc6-7W
Sir W. Darling

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement regarding an agreement with Sweden on the question of double taxation.

Sir S. Cripps

His Majesty's Government forwarded to Sweden last month an outline of proposals for a comprehensive double taxation agreement, but so far discussions have not begun. Agreements with Sweden for the reciprocal exemption from tax of shipping profits and certain profits arising through agencies have been in force for many years.
