Article 27 ASSISTANCE IN THE COLLECTION OF TAXES1 1. In some countries, national law, policy or administrative considerations may not allow or justify the type of assistance envisaged under this Article or may require that this type of assistance be restricted, e.g. to countries that have similar tax systems or tax administrations or as to the taxes covered.

That other State shall take measures of conrvancy in respect of that revenue claim in accordance with the provisions of its laws as if the revenue claim were a revenue claim of that other State even if, at the time when such measures are applied, the revenue claim is not enforceable in the first mentioned State or is owed by a person who has a right to prevent its collection. 5. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, a revenue claim accepted by a Contracting State for purpos of paragraph 3 or 4 shall not, in that State, be subject to the time limits or accorded any priority applicable to a revenue claim under the laws of that State by reason of its nature as such. In addition, a revenue claim accepted by a Contracting State for the purpos of paragraph 3 or 4 shall not, in that State, have any priority applicable to that revenue claim under the laws of the other Contracting State. 6.

(二)采取与公共政策(公共秩序)相违背的措施; (三)提供协助,如果缔约国另一方并未用尽按照其法律或行政惯例视具体情况可以采取的一切合理的征收或保全措施; (四)提供协助,如果在这些情况下,该缔约国一方因此所承受的行政负担明显超出缔约国另一方可获得的利益。 第二十八条 外交使团和领事馆的成员 本协定不应影响按照一般国际法规则或按照特别协定规定给予外交使团和领事馆的成员的财政特权。 第二十九条 适用区域的扩大 注1. 括号中的文字,适用于按照特别规定,缔约国一方的部分区域不适用本协定的情况。 一、本协定原文整体或经任何必要的修改后,可以扩大适用于(甲国或乙国领域内不适用本协定的任何部分,或)由甲国或乙国负责其国际关系的任何国家或地区,而该国家或地区所征收的税收又与本协定适用的税收具有实质相似性。这种扩大适用,应从缔约国双方通过外交途径的换文或按照其宪法程序以其他方式指定和同意的日期开始生效,并受到所指定和同意的修改和条件(包括终止的条件)的约束。 二、除缔约国双方另有约定外,缔约国一方按照第三十条终止本协定时,本协定(对甲国或乙国领土的任何部分,或)对任何按本条规定加以扩大适用的国家或地区也同样终止。 第七章 最后规定 第三十条 生效 一、本协定应经过批准生效,批准文件应尽快在 互换。 二、本协定应在互换批准文件后生效,其条款规定应适用于: (一)在甲国: (二)在乙国: 第三十一条 终止 本协定在被缔约国一方终止以前继续有效。缔约国任何一方可以在 年以后任何历年年底前至少六个月通过外交途径发出终止通知,终止本协定。 在这种情况下,本协定将自下列日期起停止有效: (一)在甲国: (二)在乙国: 结束语1 注1. 关于签署的结尾部分应根据缔约国双方的宪法程序加以草拟。 |
