PARIS (Reuters) – The principality of Andorra, long out of reach for European and international tax authorities, announced on Monday that it would vote on legislation to introduce a range of taxes on people, products and corporations as early as 2012.
A tiny landlocked nation with borders abutting France and Spain, Andorra is one of a few micro-states in Europe that remain outside the European fold by not signing treaties on a range of policy areas, notably on tax.
