The Governments of Australia and the Isle of Man have signed an Agreement on the Exchange of Information with Respect to Taxes. In addition, Australia and the Isle of Man have signed an Agreement for the Allocation of Taxing Rights with Respect to Certain Income of Individuals and to Establish a Mutual Agreement Procedure in Respect of Transfer Pricing Adjustments. This Agreement will allocate taxing rights over certain income derived by retirees, government employees and students and provide a mechanism to help resolve transfer pricing disputes.. The Agreements will enter into force after Australia and the Isle of Man have advised that they have completed their domestic requirements. Legislation for this purpose will be introduced into the Australian Parliament as soon as practicable.

The Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Competition Policy and Consumer Affairs, Chris Bowen MP, today announced the signing of a Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) and an agreement for the allocation of taxing rights over certain income of individuals between Australia and the Isle of Man. This agreement will remove some of the obstacles that inhibit economic activity between Australia and the Isle of Man. In addition to these agreements, Australia will remove any governmental references to the Isle of Man as a tax haven, and, following the entry into force of the TIEA, will list the Isle of Man as an 'information exchange country' in the Taxation Administration Regulations 1976.
