North Sea Oil (Double Taxation Agreements)

HC Deb 23 June 1981 vol 7 cc61-2W

Mr. Foulkes

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will take steps to ensure the renegotiation of double tax agreements, for example with the Netherlands, to ensure that North Sea supply companies registered from countries such as the Netherlands Antilles will become liable to tax under section 38 of the Finance Act 1973.

Mr. Peter Rees

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
