First-time comprehensive Double Taxation Conventions between the United Kingdom and the Republics of Moldova and Slovenia were signed in November 2007 respectively. The Convention with Slovenia will replace the 1981 Convention between the United Kingdom and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

New Conventions have also been finalised with New Zealand and Saudi Arabia.

All four Conventions have been approved by Parliament and the Statutory Instruments were made on 9 July 2008. They will enter into force when the respective countries complete their legislative procedures and will take effect from the start of the next following tax year in each country.
