Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the timetable is for a new double taxation treaty with Malawi to be signed.
I refer the Honourable member to my previous answer on this subject (Hansard reference 3735; 3736; 3737; 3738)
To reiterate the previous answer, the text of a new double taxation treaty with Malawi was substantively agreed some time ago. However, in August 2016, Malawi raised some further points for consideration. My officials continue to discuss these points with their counterparts in Malawi. When that process is complete, and both countries are satisfied with the contents of the new treaty, it will be signed and published.
