[01] Cyprus - Bulgaria - Taxation agreement
Nicosia, Oct 30 (CNA) -- Finance Ministers of Cyprus and Bulgaria, Takis
Klerides and Mouravei Radev, today signed an Agreement for the Avoidance of
Double Taxation, which is immediately in force in Cyprus and is expected to
be approved soon by the Bulgarian parliament so that it can start being
applied in the country in January 2001.
Talking to reporters after the signing ceremony, Klerides said a similar
agreement existed with Bulgaria for some years but in June last year Sofia
asked that it is reviewed and negotiations between the two parties took
place leading to an agreement that satisfies both sides.
