On 10 June 2016, officials from Turkmenistan and the UK signed an income and capital tax treaty. The treaty is the first of its kind directly between the two countries, and will enter into force after the ratification instruments are exchanged. Once in force and effective, it will replace the 1985 tax treaty between the UK and the former Soviet Union as applied by Turkmenistan. The UK does not generally apply the 1985 treaty. Additional details will be published once available.
