Kingdom of the Netherlands toward Jersey
+15The Netherlands concluded a bilateral tax information exchange agreement with Jersey, providing for cooperation on tax information.
Overall relationship
+15The relationship includes a concrete framework for bilateral tax information exchange, but Jersey’s Crown Dependency status places formal international relations within a broader constitutional arrangement involving the United Kingdom. The direct relationship is therefore supported by a specific area of cooperation, with little basis for characterizing broader ties.

Relationship context
Overview
Jersey is a Crown Dependency, and the United Kingdom is responsible for its defence and formal international relations. Jersey has nevertheless developed limited direct tax cooperation with the Netherlands through a bilateral tax information exchange agreement. This provides a concrete basis for assessing the relationship, while the available basis for a broader account of bilateral government cooperation is narrow.
Key developments

Major uncertainties
