Germany and Ukraine sign new tax treaty to boost economic ties
Germany and Ukraine have finalised a new double taxation treaty to boost economic ties. The agreement will be signed during the G7 finance ministers’ meeting in Paris. Both nations aim to strengthen trade and investment while supporting Ukraine’s long-term recovery.
The two countries first established a double taxation avoidance agreement in the 1990s. This updated treaty builds on that foundation, offering clearer rules for businesses operating across borders. German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil and his Ukrainian counterpart, Sergii Marchenko, will formally sign the document.
The new agreement focuses on providing legal certainty for companies in both nations. It also aims to deepen economic cooperation, helping Ukraine rebuild after the war. Officials have described the treaty as a key step in elevating bilateral relations. The signing takes place alongside the G7 finance ministers’ gathering in Paris. This timing highlights the treaty’s importance in broader international efforts to support Ukraine’s future.
Once in effect, the treaty will simplify cross-border business activities between Germany and Ukraine. It will also play a role in Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction by encouraging investment. The agreement marks a new phase in economic collaboration between the two countries.
