'A groundbreaking agreement which will give a welcome boost to the Isle of Man's finance sector' is Treasury Minister Allan Bell’s verdict on a deal struck with the Nordic Council.
Treasury representatives are in Oslo to sign the agreement, which improves information transfers and ends the prospect of double taxation for companies in Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden.
Mr Bell says the cooperation agreements are similar to those struck with the OECD some time ago and mark a new era for the Island.
