TAX TREATY EXPANSION CONSULTATIONS OPEN

The Albanese Government is working to expand Australia’s global relationships with consultations opening on the expansion of Australia’s tax treaties network.

The Government is entering into new tax treaty negotiations with Brazil, New Zealand, South Korea, Sweden and Ukraine as part an expansion of Australia’s tax treaty network. Submissions are sought on the key outcomes Australia should seek in negotiating these tax treaties and other issues related to Australia’s tax treaty network.

The Government will use the consultations to identify the issues and key priorities for each of the negotiations to ensure they support trade and investment, improve economic integration, and strengthen tax system integrity and address tax avoidance.

Details of Australia's existing tax treaties are available on the Treasury website.

Consultations will end on 19 April 2024.
