Germany: A protocol to the Double Taxation Convention between the UK and Germany was signed in London on 17 March 2014 to bring in the application and interpretation of the new Article 7 to the OECD Model Double Taxation Convention. This harmonises the taxation rights under the government service and diplomatic missions articles with Article 14 of the Consular Convention of 30 July 1956 between Germany and the UK.

Belgium: A second protocol to the Double Taxation Convention between the UK and Belgium was signed in London on 13 March 2014 to clarify that the amendments made to the 1987 Double Taxation Convention by the 2010 Protocol, apply not only to federal taxes, but also to those applied by the regions (Brussels-Capital, Flemish and Walloon regions) and the Communities (Flemish, French and German speaking). It also confirms that the regional and communal Finance Minsters are recognised as 'competent authorities'.

Anguilla: The government has also released details of an exchange of letters between the UK and Anguilla, which amended the 2009 Tax Information Exchange Agreement (TIEA) signed in London on 13 December 2013.
