The new minister for the Treasury has confirmed he has signed a two-year VAT sharing agreement with the United Kingdom.
In Tynwald today (Tuesday), Eddie Teare said the detailed document fixed the sum available to the Isle of Man from VAT and other revenue share-outs until 2013.
It was signed yesterday (Monday) by the Manx Treasury and Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.
Arrangements beyond 2013 are still being discussed, using what's being called the Tax Based Measurement Method.
Mr Teare said talks had begun to agree a formula:
'Parks in worse state then when I started' says Peel commissioner
Ferry terminal to become part of wider North Docks transformation
Renewed calls to make it easier for taxis to have CCTV on the IoM
IOMPO will go from 'strength to strength' in coming years says outgoing chair
