Finance Minister Paul Martin today announced that the Agreement between Canada and the Slovak Republic for the avoidance of double taxation and the prevention of fiscal evasion signed on May 22, 2001, in Bratislava, entered into force on December 20, 2001.

It was on this latter date that the last notice required to bring the Agreement into force in accordance with Article 29 of the Agreement was made. In accordance with that same Article, the provisions of the Agreement will have effect:

a) in respect of withholding taxes, on amounts paid or credited to non-residents on or after January 1, 2002; and

b) in respect of other taxes, for taxation years beginning on or after January 1, 2002.

The Agreement replaces, as far as relations between Canada and the Slovak Republic are concerned, the tax treaty signed in 1990 between Canada and Czechoslovakia.
