Wyden Statement on Senate Passage of Tax Treaties

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today released the following statement on Senate passage of tax treaties with Spain, Switzerland, Japan and Luxembourg:

“Senate approval of tax treaties with Spain, Switzerland, Japan and Luxembourg is welcome and long overdue. These treaties will promote trade with our allies, attract foreign investment and combat tax fraud by improving information sharing. It’s unfortunate that the Senate did not also move on three additional treaties with Chile, Hungary and Poland. The Senate had an opening to get all seven treaties approved, but the administration made the process unnecessarily difficult by pushing last-minute changes.”
