9. What is the name of the peace treaty signed by France and Spain, that resulted in Andorra's independence and which is still in force?

10. Until 2014, there was no personal income tax payable by Andorran residents.

In 2014, Andorra, at the request of other European nations, agreed to introduce income tax as a measure to lessen tax evasion in Europe.
