  • The Ottoman Policy Towards Non-Muslim Communities and Their Status in the Ottoman Empire During the 15Th & 16Th Centuries: Interaction of Civilizations Mughul, M
    2137 THE OTTOMAN POLICY TOWARDS NON-MUSLIM COMMUNITIES AND THEIR STATUS IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE DURING THE 15TH & 16TH CENTURIES: INTERACTION OF CIVILIZATIONS MUGHUL, M. Yakub* PAKİSTAN/PAKISTAN/ПАКИСТАН ABSTRACT This paper focuses on Ottomans liberal policy and tolerance towards the non- Muslims and other religious communities during 15th, 16th century. In particular, it explores the key role of Sultan Mohammad-II in consolidating and harmonizing different cultures and religions across Europe and Asia. The paper also addresses the Islamic attitude towards inter-religious relations, which was at that time quite unknown in rest of Europe, where they were burning its heretics at the stake, whereas races and religions coexisted under the Ottoman rule. It will highlight how the advent of Ottoman Rule in Eastern Europe brought the Muslim and European Civilizations face to face, which ultimately created an interaction among them. Finally, it will describe the image of the millet system introduced during this period, which brought all non-Muslim communities within the Turkish commonwealth, and allowed them to govern itself by its own laws and live in peace in the Ottoman Empire. Key Words: Ottoman, policy, Empire, Constantinople, Turkish, history. INTRODUCTION The Ottoman Empire1 would be defined as a mosaic of different cultures and religions, which provided peace and harmony among members of society without distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim, race, and color. The story of Ottoman history involves not only the Ottoman dynasty but the many peoples who ruled the Empire and were ruled by it: Turks, Arabs, Serbs, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, Bulgarians, Hungarians, Albanians, North Africans and others.

    Hong Kong Tax Alert 4 September 2020 2020 Issue No. 12 Hong Kong concludes comprehensive double taxation arrangement with Serbia On 27 August 2020, Hong Kong signed a comprehensive avoidance of double taxation agreement (CDTA) with Serbia. This brings the number of CDTAs Hong Kong has concluded with other jurisdictions to 44. Appendix to this alert summarizes the status of Hong Kong’s current CDTA network and CDTAs currently under negotiation or pending ratification. This alert summarizes the salient points of the provisions of the CDTA with Serbia as applicable to Hong Kong residents. Promoting trade and investment The CDTA sets out clearly the allocation of taxing rights between Hong Kong and Serbia helping investors to better assess their potential tax liabilities from cross-border transactions. In addition, with the aim of facilitating trade and investment, the CDTA also contains provisions which reduce or eliminate applicable taxes in respect of certain income streams between the two jurisdictions. The below table summarizes the applicable rates for relevant income streams when received from Serbia by a Hong Kong resident as beneficial owner. Income Dividends Interest Royalties Capital gains on Fees for specified streams disposal of shares services Tax rate Domestic rates 15/20%1 15/20%1 20% 0/15%/20%1 20%6 Rates under the 5/10%2 0/10%3 5/10%4 0%5 0% CDTA Notes 1. Dividends, interest and capital gains received from Serbia by a non-resident individual are taxed at a rate of 15%; however capital gains realized on disposal of shares by a non-resident individual who has held the investment continuously for at least ten years prior to the transfer are exempt from taxation in Serbia.
