TREATIES FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBLE TAXATION

The main purpose of Double Taxation Treaties is to avoid the International Double Taxation when the same profits of a legal person or of an individual are taxed in two or more countries. As a result of the Double Taxation Treaties International Businesses are traded with stability and certainty. This is also the main reason why the Treaties constitute an important tool for International Tax Planning and give important advantage to the countries which sign such Treaties.
