Prevention of Tax Treaty Abuse – Third Peer Review Report on Treaty Shopping

Antigua and Barbuda

A. Progress in the implementation of the minimum standard

Antigua and Barbuda has three tax agreements in force, as reported in its response to the Peer Review questionnaire, including the multilateral agreement among the members of the CARICOM concluded with ten treaty partners (the CARICOM Agreement).1

None of Antigua and Barbuda’s agreements comply with the minimum standard or are subject to a complying instrument.

Antigua and Barbuda has not signed the MLI.

B. Implementation issues

As Antigua and Barbuda has not signed the MLI or implemented anti-treaty-shopping measures in its agreements, the Secretariat will offer its support to design a plan for the implementation of the minimum standard to strengthen its network of agreements.

Antigua and Barbuda is encouraged to bring the CARICOM Agreement up to date by commencing talks among all the treaty partners.2
