Abstract

This short note gives an overview of the provisions in the EU–UK TCA as it relates to tax matters. The objective is to clarify the impact that the EU-UK TCA might have on the future of UK tax policy. Tax-related provisions in the EU–UK TCA can be divided into two main categories: first, the “traditional” tax-related provisions that are generally included in trade agreements (the provisions on customs duties, internal taxes, export duties, carve out for double tax treaties and tax exception); secondly, the “new” tax-related provisions that have not been included in other trade agreements previously concluded by the EU (the provisions on good tax governance, fiscal subsidy, sector-specific exemption, carbon pricing and administrative co-operation).
