If, as a result of changes in the taxation law of either Contracting State or of an extension under Article 29, it appears appropriate to adapt certain Articles of the Convention without affecting its general principles, the necessary adjustments may be made by mutual agreement by exchange of diplomatic notes or in any other manner in accordance with their constitutional provisions.

Se, em virtude de modificações da legislação fiscal de um dos Estados Contratantes ou em virtude de extensão por força do disposto no artigo 29.º, parecer oportuno adaptar certos artigos da Convenção sem afectar os princípios gerais desta, poderão fazer-se de comum acordo os ajustamentos necessários por trocas de notas diplomáticas ou segundo outro procedimento conforme com as respectivas disposições constitucionais.

Applying the law

Treaty relief between Portugal and France, claimed correctly

Treaty rates are not automatic in Portugal: the recipient must give the payer a form certified by its own tax authority before the tax is due, or claim a refund afterwards. We check which article applies, the rate and the paperwork.
