Liechtenstein tax agreement extended

The UK Government’s tax agreement with Liechtenstein - the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility (LDF), signed in August 2009 and which has ensured the UK receives its fair share of tax revenues from UK taxpayers with investments in the principality, was consolidated on 7 February 2012, with the initialling of a Double Taxation Agreement (DTA). In addition, the LDF will now operate until 5 April 2016.
