TAX COOPERATION

The UN Online Primer on Tax Treaties introduces the basic principles of tax treaties and explains their objectives and effects. It presents the typical content of tax treaties resulting from widespread use of the UN and OECD Model Conventions. It analyzes the UN Model’s distinctive features, which provide greater taxing rights to capital-importing countries (generally, developing countries).

The UN Primer also serves as a pre-requisite for the UN Course on Double Tax Treaties.
