Netherlands-United States: Protocol Amending the Tax Convention

The new income tax treaty between the United States and the Netherlands entered into force on December 31, 1993. For a discussion of the treaty, see Introductory Note at 32 L.L.M. 457 (1993). Subsequent to the signing of the treaty on December 18, 1992, the two countries negotiated an amending Protocol that was signed in Washington on October 13, 1993, and which was accompanied by Notes of Understanding. The chief function of the Protocol is to deal with the so-called "triangular problem" of Dutch companies with permanent establishments in tax-haven jurisdictions and receiving interest and royalties effectively free of both U.S. and Dutch taxation. This issue had created a major obstacle to U.S. ratification of the treaty.
