(1) The Contracting States undertake to
lend assistance to each other in the collec-
tion of taxes referred to in paragraph 8,
together with interest, costs, additions to
such taxes and administrative penalties,
referred to in this Article as a “revenue
claim”.The provisions of this Article are not
restricted by Article 1.
Français
(1) Les États contractants s’engagent à
se prêter mutuellement assistance pour
percevoir les impôts visés au paragraphe 8,
ainsi que les intérêts, frais, impôts supplé-
mentaires et pénalités civiles, dénommés
«créances fiscales» dans le présent article.
Les dispositions du présent article ne sont
pas restreintes par l’article 1.
(2) An application for assistance in the
collection of a revenue claim shall include a
certification by the competent authority of
the applicant State that, under the laws of
that State, the revenue claim has been
finally determined. For the purposes of this
Article, a revenue claim is finally deter-
mined when the applicant State has the
right under its internal law to collect the
revenue claim and all administrative and
judicial rights of the taxpayer to restrain
collection in the applicant State have
lapsed or been exhausted.
Français
(2) Une demande d’assistance pour la
perception d’une créance fiscale est
accompagnée d’un certificat délivré par
l’autorité compétente de l’État requérant
indiquant que, en vertu de la législation de
cet État, la créance fiscale a fait l’objet
d’une décision définitive. Au sens du pré-
sent article, la créance fiscale a fait l’objet
d’une décision définitive lorsque l’État
requérant a, en vertu de son droit interne, le
droit de percevoir la créance fiscale et que
le contribuable a épuisé tous les recours
administratifs et judiciaires qui permet-
traient de suspendre la perception de cette
créance par l’État requérant ou que ces
recours sont prescrits.
(3) A revenue claim of the applicant State
that has been finally determined may be
accepted for collection by the competent
authority of the requested State and, sub-
ject to the provisions of paragraph 7, if
accepted shall be collected by the re-
quested State as though such revenue
claim were the requested State’s own
revenue claim finally determined in accord-
ance with the laws applicable to the collec-
tion of the requested State’s own taxes.
Français
(3) L’autorité compétente de l’État requis
peut accepter de percevoir une créance
fiscale qui a fait l’objet d’une décision défi-
nitive présentée par l’État requérant et,
sous réserve des dispositions du para-
graphe 7, si cette demande est acceptée,
l’État requis perçoit la créance comme s’il
s’agissait de l’une de ses créances fiscales
qui a fait l’objet d’une décision définitive,
conformément à sa législation applicable à
la perception de ses propres impôts.
(4) Where an application for collection of
a revenue claim in respect of a taxpayer is
accepted:
a) by the Federal Republic of Germany,
the revenue claim shall be enforced by
the Federal Republic of Germany in the
same way as a revenue claim under
Federal Republic of Germany laws
against the taxpayer as of the time the
application is received; and
b) by Canada, the revenue claim shall be
treated by Canada as an amount
payable under the Income Tax Act, the
collection of which is not subject to any
restriction.
Français
(4) Lorsqu’une demande de perception
d’une créance fiscale à l’égard d’un contri-
buable est acceptée:
a) par la République fédérale d’Alle-
magne, la créance fiscale est traitée par
la République fédérale d’Allemagne
comme étant une créance fiscale en
vertu de la législation de la République
fédérale d’Allemagne à l’égard du
contribuable à partir du moment où la
demande est reçue; et
b) par le Canada, la créance fiscale est
traitée par le Canada comme un mon-
tant dû en vertu de la Loi de l’impôt sur
le revenu, dont la perception n’est
assujettie à aucune restriction.
(5) Nothing in this Article shall be con-
strued as creating or providing any rights of
administrative or judicial review of the
applicant State’s finally determined rev-
enue claim by the requested State, based
on any such rights that may be available
under the laws of either Contracting State.
Proceedings relating to measures taken
under this Article by the requested State
shall be brought only before the appropri-
ate body of that State. If, at any time pend-
ing execution of a request for assistance
under this Article, the applicant State loses
the right under its internal law to collect the
revenue claim, the competent authority of
the applicant State shall promptly withdraw
the request for assistance in collection.
Français
(5) Aucune disposition du présent article
ne peut être interprétée comme créant ou
accordant à l’État requis des recours admi-
nistratifs ou judiciaires contre la créance
fiscale de l’État requérant ayant fait l’objet
d’une décision définitive, qui se fonderaient
sur les recours de ce genre qui seraient
disponibles en vertu de la législation de l’un
ou l’autre des États contractants. Les pro-
cédures concernant les mesures prises en
vertu du présent article par l’État requis
sont portées à l’attention des personnes
appropriées de cet État. Si, à un moment
quelconque avant l’exécution d’une
demande d’assistance présentée en vertu
du présent article, l’État requérant perd le
droit de percevoir la créance fiscale en
vertu de son droit interne, l’autorité compé-
tente de l’État requérant retire immédiate-
ment la demande d’assistance en matière
de perception.
(6) Unless the competent authorities of
the Contracting States otherwise agree,
the ordinary costs incurred in providing
collection assistance shall be borne by the
requested State and any extraordinary
costs so incurred shall be borne by the
applicant State.
Français
(6) Sauf entente contraire entre les auto-
rités compétentes des États, les frais ordi-
naires engagés pour la perception de la
créance sont assumés par l’État requis et
les frais extraordinaires engagés à l’égard
de cette créance sont assumés par l’État
requérant.
(7) A revenue claim of an applicant State
accepted for collection shall not have in the
requested State any priority accorded to
the revenue claims of the requested State
even if the recovery procedure used is the
one applicable to its own revenue claims.
Français
(7) Une créance fiscale d’un État requé-
rant acceptée pour perception ne jouit pas,
dans l’État requis, de la priorité dont jouis-
sent les créances fiscales de l’État requis
même si la procédure de recouvrement uti-
lisée est celle qui s’applique à ses propres
créances fiscales.
(8) Notwithstanding the provisions of
Article 2, the provisions of this Article shall
apply to all categories of taxes collected by
or on behalf of the Government of a Con-
tracting State including, in the case of the
Federal Republic of Germany, the “Laen-
der”.
Français
(8) Nonobstant les dispositions de l’ar-
ticle 2, les dispositions du présent article
s’appliquent également à tous les genres
d’impôts perçus par le Gouvernement d’un
État contractant, ou pour son compte, y
compris, dans le cas de la République
fédérale d’Allemagne, un «Land».
(9) Nothing in this Article shall be con-
strued as imposing on either Contracting
State the obligation to carry out administra-
tive measures at variance with its laws or
administrative practice or that would be
contrary to its fundamental principles of tax
policy or its public policy (ordre public).
Français
(9) Aucun disposition du présent article
ne peut être interprétée comme imposant à
un État contractant l’obligation de prendre
des mesures administratives dérogeant à
sa législation ou à sa pratique administrati-
ve; ou qui serait contraire aux principes
fondamentaux de sa politique fiscale ou à
l’ordre public de cet État.
(10) The competent authorities of the
Contracting States shall agree upon the
mode of application of this Article, includ-
ing agreement to ensure comparable levels
of assistance to each of the Contracting
States.
Français
(10) Les autorités compétentes des États
contractants s’entendent sur les modalités
d’application du présent article, y compris
une entente visant à équilibrer le niveau
d’assistance offert par chacun des États
contractants.
