ARTICLE 27

U.S. Income Tax Treaty — belgium tax treaty documents: belgtech.pdf · 2026-10-03 edition · updated 2026-10-04 · United States

Assistance in Collection

This Article, substantially similar to the assistance in collection Article in the existing Convention, provides for mutual assistance in the collection of taxes where required to avoid an abuse of the Convention. The provision is intended merely to insure that the benefits of the Convention will only be available with respect to persons entitled to such benefits; it does not in any way alter rights under other provisions of the Convention.

The Article provides that each State will endeavor to collect for the other State such amounts as may be necessary to insure that any exemption or reduced rate of tax granted under the proposed Convention will not be availed of by persons not entitled to those benefits. However, this Article will not require a State, in order to collect taxes which are imposed by the other State, to undertake any administrative measures that differ from its internal regulations or practices nor will this Article require a State to undertake any administrative or judicial measures which are contrary to that State's sovereignty, security, or public policy.
