Double Taxation: India

Asked by Andrew GriffithConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 24 February 2026UIN 113265

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Explanatory Memorandum on the Double Contributions Convention with the Republic of India, Command Paper No 1513, how much public funding will be required to meet the obligations for managing the treaty.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The project to implement the Double Contributions Convention, including work required by Article 20 to scope and implement a system of electronic information exchange between the UK and India, is still on-going. A full estimate is therefore not available. The system under development will be a step towards the modernisation of international social security processes in HMRC.
