ARTICLE 32
Termination
This Convention shall remain in force for an unlimited period of time, until terminated by a Contracting State. Either one of the Contracting States shall notify the other Contracting State, through diplomatic channels, by giving a notice of termination, in writing, on or before the thirtieth day of June of any calendar year from the fifth year following the year in which this Convention enters into force. In such case, this Convention shall cease to have effect:
- (a) in respect of taxes levied by way of deductions on dividends, interests and royalties on amounts that are paid on or after the first of January of the calendar year, following the year of termination;
- (b) in respect of other taxes that are levied for periods beginning from the first of January of the calendar year following the year in which this Convention is terminated.
For the purpose of calculating the time period, the date of submission of the notice of termination by a Contracting State to the other Contracting State shall be taken into consideration.
