New Zealand and Slovenia have signed an income tax treaty on 3 December 2024.
A tax treaty is a bilateral agreement between two countries designed to address issues related to the double taxation of both passive and active income of their respective citizens. These treaties typically establish the amount of tax a country can impose on a taxpayer’s income, capital, estate, or wealth. An income tax treaty is also referred to as a Double Tax Agreement (DTA).
The treaty is a first between the two countries and will come into force once ratified and the exchange of ratification instruments.
