Double tax agreement in PDF?

Double tax agreement in PDF?

Didn't find your answer?

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

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

Thanks Paul, that worked.

An ancillary question:

How religiously do you enforce copyright in cases where we wish to forward a small extract of CCH publications to a client?  We could request permission on an individual case by case basis, and I guess that is the strict terms of service.

It would be very unusual for us to want to forward more than about half a dozen pages of script, and the occasions would probably be no more than about 20 times per year.  Do you charge a fee for each such case?  Any chance of a single blanket permission covering a specified limit of text?

There may be something in the small print that I do not have to hand.  I would hope that the advertising that you get from having CCH printed all over it might count for something.

With kind regards

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
