The UK has a number of double tax agreements (also known as double tax treaties) with many states. These are updated on a regular basis and protect individuals and corporate entities from being taxed twice when the income is taxable in more than one state.
HM Revenue & Customs maintains a repository of double tax agreements in this library.
