HISTORY

Article 31 corresponds to Article 30 as it read before 28 January 2003 when it was renumbered as Article 31 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.

Article 30 was amended when the 1977 Model Convention was adopted by the OECD Council on 11 April 1977. In the 1963 Draft Convention (adopted by the OECD Council on 30 July 1963) and until the adoption of the 1977 Model Convention, Article 30 read as follows:This Convention shall remain in force until denounced by one of the Contracting States. Either Contracting State may denounce the Convention, through diplomatic channels, by giving notice of termination at least six months before the end of any calendar year after the year ..... In such event, the Convention shall cease to have effect:

  1. in (State A) : .......................

  2. in (State B) : .......................”
