OECD Model Tax Convention on Income and on Capital - an overview of available products

The OECD Model has not resolved all problems of interpretation and application and requires constant review to address new tax issues. The Working Party meets this need and its work results in regular changes to the Model. Since 1992, the Model is published in a loose-leaf format to allow the incorporation of these changes; updates have already been published in 1994, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2003 and 2005. The 2008 update is also available (see 'OECD Bookshop' below).

Beginning with the 1997 update, the Model is presented in two volumes. Volume I includes the Introduction, the text of the Articles of the Model and the Commentary thereon whereas Volume II includes a section on the positions of the non-member countries, reprints of 16 previous reports dealing with tax conventions that the Committee on Fiscal Affairs has adopted since 1977, the list of tax conventions concluded between Member countries and the text of the Council Recommendation on the Model Tax Convention. A condensed version of the Model, which includes only the Introduction, the text of the Articles of the Model, the Commentary and the position sof the non-member countries is also available.
