The UK has tax treaties with over 100 countries - the largest network in the world. These form the framework within which taxation of international trade, investment, finance and employment take place. They are of vital concern to lawyers and accountants involved in cross-border practice.

UK law and practice relating to tax treaties has developed over more than half a century of treaty negotiation and reflects the particular position of the UK as an open economy, with extensive inward and outward investment and as the world's leading financial centre. Tax Treaties: United Kingdom Law and Practice unravels all the treaties to assist practitioners concerned with the international aspects of taxation in the United Kingdom.
