Treaty Shopping: taking advantage of the network of double taxation agreements (DTAs) to obtain a more advantageous position than the facts warrant. For example, even after clearance Country A levies withholding tax at 15% on interest paid to Country B, per the DTA between A and B. Countries A and B have DTAs with C which have nil withholding tax clauses. By routing the loan through a company in Country C, companies in Countries A or B can avoid withholding tax. Many UK treaties contain anti-treaty shopping clauses to prevent this, and most require that the applicant for clearance should be beneficial owner of the income. C is unlikely to be the beneficial owner if it is part of an arrangement between A and B.
