In today's blog we will talk about the Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) in the Andorran territory.
But in order to be able to introduce the concept of Double Taxation Agreement, it is first necessary to define the term double taxation which occurs when the same income is subject to two or more similar taxes in the same fiscal period, a situation in which those taxpayers who reside in two countries for tax purposes.
Faced with this problem, there was a need to establish measures to avoid cases of double taxation. Thus, Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) emerge which allow taxpayers not to be taxed twice for the same income, however, these measures have favored the liberalization of foreign investments in Andorra and the opening of national economy
On the other hand, it should be borne in mind that all direct taxes on income (IS, IRPF, IRNR and capital gains tax) are subject to the application of the double taxation agreement (DTA).
Currently, Andorra has 9 Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) signed and in force, which are:
