India, Mauritius begin talks on revised tax treaty
New Delhi: Indian and Mauritian tax officials have begun talks on revising the double taxation avoidance pact between the two countries and the issue is likely to come up for discussion during the upcoming visit of the Prime Minister of Mauritius to India.
“Preliminary discussion has taken place this month in Mauritius. Mauritius Prime Minister is scheduled to come India,” a top official in the Finance Ministry told reporters.
Earlier in 2006, India and Mauritius had agreed to review the operation of a Joint Working Group to strengthen the mechanism for exchange of information under the tax treaty, besides putting in place adequate safeguards to prevent misuse of the DTAA.
