Edition notes and known limitations

HMRC publisher synthesis; not an authentic signed instrument. Authentic treaty and MLI texts prevail. Currentness not checked.

Complete substantive publisher content and true end-of-publication are evidenced; no diplomatic closing is printed or fabricated.

No Original PDF, authentic instrument or physical-facsimile wording claim. Native extraction can flatten MLI boxes and ordered-list styling.

Publisher “in force” wording is retained as source wording, not adopted as a current-law badge.

Publisher preface, references, general MLI effect conditions and modified preamble are top-level searchable supplements. Inline MLI qualifications and box references remain in their articles.

Publication title/index protocol-year terminology is not silently reconciled with the body’s dated protocol references.

Italy remains outside this candidate; no full-reader or goal-credit change.

Source authority, text completeness and currentness still require human review.
