HC Deb 23 April 1985 vol 77 c417W
Mr. Pendry

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he has any plans to negotiate reciprocal tax arrangements with the Phillipines Government in order to alleviate the current double taxation of Filipino workers living in Britain.

Mr. Moore

The United Kingdom already has a comprehensive double taxation convention with the Republic of the Philippines for the relief of double taxation on income and capital gains. The convention, which has been published as a schedule to Statutory Instrument No. 184 of 1978, contains the usual provisions for relief in respect of earnings from employment.

I am not aware of any problems of double taxation of income of Filipino workers living in Britain; but if the hon. Member has specific cases in mind, I should of course be pleased to look into them.
