The majority of the UK\u2019s double taxation treaties are based on the OECD Model Double Taxation Convention. However, some developing countries prefer to follow the United Nations Model, whose provisions differ in some respects from the OECD Model, including in the \u201cpermanent establishment\u201d article. Many of the UK\u2019s treaties with developing countries contain at least some of these provisions. A treaty will be signed only when both governments are satisfied with its contents.<\/p>
<\/p>
It has long been the UK\u2019s policy to include robust anti-abuse provisions in its tax treaties to ensure that they operate as intended and in particular that residents of third countries cannot indirectly benefit from their provisions.<\/p>

When that process is complete, and both countries are satisfied with contents of the new treaty, it will be signed and published. Parliament will scrutinise the revised agreement, as part of the affirmative Statutory Instruments procedures, before the treaty can enter into force.<\/p>
