Saint Lucia
A. Progress in the implementation of the minimum standard
Saint Lucia has two tax agreements, including the multilateral agreement among the members of the CARICOM concluded with ten treaty partners (the CARICOM Agreement).1
Neither of Saint Lucia’s agreements comply with the minimum standard or are subject to a complying instrument.
Saint Lucia has not signed the MLI.
Saint Lucia indicated in its response to the Peer Review questionnaire that it contacted Switzerland in late 2019 to discuss revising their agreement.
B. Implementation issues
As Saint Lucia has not signed the MLI or implemented anti-treaty-shopping measures in its agreements, the Secretariat will offer its support to design a plan for the implementation of the minimum standard to strengthen its network of agreements.
Saint Lucia is encouraged to bring the CARICOM Agreement up to date by commencing talks among all the treaty partners.2
