Australian Tax Treaties
The Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (the MLI) has modified the application of this tax treaty. A synthesised text of the MLI and this tax treaty is available to facilitate the understanding of how the MLI modifies this tax treaty.
In general,
if in a convention for the avoidance of double taxation that is subsequently made between Australia and a third State Australia should agree -
(a) to reduce below 15 per cent the rate of its tax on dividends paid by a company which is a resident of Australia and to which a resident of the third State is beneficially entitled; or
(b) to include an Article dealing with non-discrimination,
the Government of Australia shall immediately inform the Government of Korea and shall enter into negotiations with the Government of Korea with a view to providing treatment in relation to Korea comparable with that provided in relation to that third State.
