The Isle of Man Government’s Agreement for the Exchange of Information Relating to Tax Matters with the Government of the Republic of Botswana entered into force on 5 March 2016.
The agreement is part of the Isle of Man Government’s programme of developing closer economic and taxation co-operation with other countries around the world.
It was signed on 14 June 2013 in London between Eddie Teare, the Isle of Man’s Treasury Minister, and His Excellency Mr Roy W. Blackbeard, High Commissioner of the Republic of Botswana in the United Kingdom.
The Isle of Man ratified the agreement at the November 2013 sitting of Tynwald, and on 26 November 2013 the Isle of Man Government informed the Government of the Republic of Botswana that ratification had taken place.
The High Commission of the Republic of Botswana in the United Kingdom has now confirmed that Botswana has completed its own ratification procedures.
