Australian Tax Treaties
As amended by the United States Protocol (No 1)
(a) Where a resident of one of the Contracting States considers that the action of one or both of the Contracting States results or will result for him in taxation not in accordance with this Convention, he may, notwithstanding the remedies provided by the domestic laws of those States, present his case to the competent authority of the Contracting State of which he is a resident or citizen. The case must be presented within three years from the first notification of that action.
(b) Should the claim be considered to have merit by the competent authority of the Contracting State to which the claim is made, that competent authority shall seek to come to an agreement with the competent authority of the other Contracting State with a view to the avoidance of taxation contrary to the provisions of this Convention. Any agreement reached shall be implemented notwithstanding any time limits or other procedural limitations in the domestic law of the Contracting States.
(2)
The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall seek to resolve by agreement any difficulties or doubts arising as to the application or interpretation of this Convention. In particular the competent authorities of the Contracting States may agree:
(a) to the same attribution of income, deductions, credits, or allowances of an enterprise of one of the Contracting States to its permanent establishment situated in the other Contracting State;
(b) to the same allocation of income, deductions, credits, or allowances between persons;
(c) to the same determination of the source of particular items of income;
(d) to the same meaning of any term used in this Convention; or
(e) to which of the Contracting States an individual described in subparagraph (2)(c) of Article 4 (Residence) has closer personal and economic relations.
(3)
The competent authorities of the Contracting States may communicate with each other directly for the purpose of reaching an agreement in the sense of this Article.
