It aims to eliminate double taxation, strengthen economic cooperation, and prevent tax evasion and avoidance, including safeguards against treaty-shopping arrangements. It applies to taxes on income, including those on total income, salaries, commercial activities, immovable property, and capital gains.

Any resulting treaty must be finalised, signed, and ratified before it enters into force.
