Russia, Cyprus postpone tax treaty protocol provision on capital gains

Cyprus’ Ministry of Finance has announced a delay in the application of a 2010 protocol amendment to article 13 of the tax treaty between Russia and Cyprus concerning the tax treatment of capital gains. The application of the provision has been postponed by mutual agreement of the two countries, the Ministry said.

According the announcement, made December 29, the two countries intend to finalize an additional protocol which provides for the application of the revised article 13 provisions once similar provisions are added to Russian bilateral tax treaties with other EU countries.
