HISTORY

The previous Article 30 (Termination) was renumbered Article 31 (see history of Article 31) and Article 29 was renumbered Article 30 as a consequence of the addition of a new Article 27 (Assistance in the Collection of Taxes) and renumbering of the following Articles by the report entitled “The 2002 Update to the Model Tax Convention”, adopted by the OECD Council on 28 January 2003.

Paragraph 1: Corresponds to paragraph 1 of Article 29 of the 1963 Draft Convention as it read before 28 January 2003. On that date Article 30 was renumbered as Article 31 (see history of Article 31) and paragraph 1 of Article 29 was renumbered as paragraph 1 of Article 30 by the report entitled “The 2002 Update to the Model Tax Convention” adopted by the OECD Council on 28 January 2003.

Paragraph 2: Corresponds to paragraph 2 of Article 29 of the 1963 Draft Convention as it read before 28 January 2003 when it was renumbered as paragraph 2 of Article 30 by the report entitled “The 2002 Update to the Model Tax Convention” adopted by the OECD Council on 28 January 2003.
