Panama's Ministry of Foreign Relations has announced that officials from Panama and France met 24 February to discuss revisions to the 2011 income tax treaty between the two counties. The revisions are mainly in relation to the exchange of information and will likely be made through an amending protocol, which would be the first to amend the treaty. The announcement also notes that Panama should be removed from the French blacklist of non-cooperative states or territories in the near future since the conditions for removal have been met ({News-2017-02-08/P/3- previous coverage}).
