Preliminary comments on proposed changes to the OECD model tax convention dealing with the operation of ships and aircraft in international traffic
In summary, the international shipping industry is broadly satisfied with the status quo with respect to the current text of the Convention, including Article 8. However, with respect to the current text of Article 15, opinions within the shipping industry appear to differ.

ICS therefore suggests that the proposed changes to the OECD Model Convention need to be subjected to a far more comprehensive review.
