I am trying to find a link to a PDF file that gives the whole of the UK-Irish double tax agreement.
I got as far as here
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/international/in-force-i.htm
Which helpfully tells you that there is an agreement, although unlike adjacent countries in the alphabet it provides no link.
I can find the agreement in our CCH online subscription, but it is in HTML, with each page on a separate link.
Same applies here
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/dtmanual/DT9850+.htm
I suppose I could print each page to a PDF file, and then use pdf split and merge to splice them together, but sheesh! Any other ideas?
With kind regards
Clint Westwood

Creating PDFs from HTML in CCH Online
Hello Nogammonsinanun
My name is Paul Wood; I am the field sales manager for CCH Online. It is possible to create PDFs from HTML documents using your CCH Online service. To obtain PDFs of the agreement you have found, please follow this process:
Log in to CCH OnlineClick the "Folder" option in the banner menuSelect the documents that you want to add by ticking them in the table of contents on the leftClick "Add to Folder" in the banner menuThen click the "Download as PDF" option
Please be aware that there is currently a limit of 25 PDFs per download. This is to avoid users systems appearing to freeze while they process the commend. The DTT agreement you are referring to contains 36 documents, so please download them in 2 batches. We are looking to improve this as one of a number of enhancements we are planning.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Paul
To answer your question...
Hi Clint
It would depend on the extract. For some content, for example HMRC material or case documentation, we don’t own the copyright. The material is either already in the public domain or we have permission to reproduce the content from the original rights holder. In the latter’s case we would expect users to approach us on a case by case basis for permission. However, examples of this are rare and where copyright over a piece of content is in force, this is indicated where it occurs.
For the majority of the content, the facility to download PDFs is just one example of functionality we have introduced to enable customers to share content with clients and colleagues, which we are happy to facilitate if it is done on a reasonable basis.
Whilst it is useful to have our brand on the documentation, I hope you will agree that a significant level of the content's value is created by the links embedded within it, which are lost once the content is outputted from the service. In other words, to make the absolute most of the content, you need to be a subscriber.
Hope this helps – let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards
Paul
Irish Revenue
Clint,
The Irish Revenue have a "print page" facility on their website. The UK-Ireland agreement is here
http://www.revenue.ie/en/practitioner/law/double/uk.html
You should be able to print to a pdf generator from there in one go. If I remember correctly, the protocol is already a pdf file.

Got it!
Was searching for this myself and stumbled on this thread. Then found the document and felt obliged to come back and share (albeit 2 years after original question): http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/taxtreaties/in-force/1976-ireland-text.pdf
