(1) The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall
exchange such information as is foreseeably relevant for
carrying out the provisions of this Agreement or to the
administration or enforcement of the domestic laws concerning
taxes of every kind and description imposed on behalf of a
Contracting State or a political subdivision or local authority
thereof, insofar as the taxation thereunder is not contrary to the
Agreement. The exchange of information is not restricted by
Articles 1 and 2.
(2) Any information received under paragraph 1 by a
Contracting State shall be treated as secret in the same manner
as information obtained under the domestic laws of that State
and shall be disclosed only to persons or authorities (including
courts and administrative bodies) concerned with the assess-
ment or collection of, the enforcement or prosecution in respect
of, the determination of appeals in relation to the taxes referred
to in paragraph 1 or the oversight of the above. Such persons or
authorities shall use the information only for such purposes.
They may disclose the information in public court proceedings
or in judicial decisions.
(3) In no case shall the provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 be
construed so as to impose on a Contracting State the obligation:
a) to carry out administrative measures at variance with the
laws and administrative practice of that or of the other
Contracting State;
b) to supply information which is not obtainable under the laws
or in the normal course of the administration of that or of the
other Contracting State;
c) to supply information which would disclose any trade,
business, industrial, commercial or professional secret or
trade process, or information the disclosure of which would
be contrary to public policy (ordre public).
(4) If information is requested by a Contracting State in
accordance with this Article, the other Contracting State shall
use its information gathering measures to obtain the requested
information, even though that other State may not need such
information for its own tax purposes. The obligation contained in
the preceding sentence is subject to the limitations of paragraph 3
but in no case shall such limitations be construed to permit a
Contracting State to decline to supply information solely
because it has no domestic interest in such information.
(5) In no case shall the provisions of paragraph 3 be
construed to permit a Contracting State to decline to supply
information solely because the information is held by a bank,
other financial institution, nominee or person acting in an agency
or a fiduciary capacity or because it relates to ownership
interests in a person.

This source supplies German and English versions. The signing clause also identifies Spanish as authentic; that third version is NOT present in this reader. Missing here does not mean globally unavailable. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-mexico-2009-base/.

Review status
Pending human wording, completeness, source-authority, currentness, alignment and rendering review. No legal review performed.
Currentness
Original source edition; not a verified current-law consolidation. Unknown as current law. Signed 2008-07-09; consent law 2009-07-08; gazette publication 2009-07-16. Edition ID year is not a signature date. Treaty entry into force: not resolved as a single source-bound field by the retained audit. Roster general application: 2010-01-01 (not a universal tax-specific rule). Cached official article entry statements (may refer to multiple instruments): 30. Dezember 1993, 15. Oktober 2009, 6. August 2023. Evidence is the retained 2026-10-01 agent audit of source PDF, 2026-01-01 roster and cached official HTML, not a fresh current-law determination. Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force.
Protocols and later instruments
Printed signature protocol retained separately and not merged into articles. Later amending protocol signed 2021-10-08, entered into force 2023-08-06, general application 2024-01-01; NOT included in this base source. Tax-specific application needs review. This signed 2008-07-09 source replaces earlier convention signed 1993-02-23; exact cessation and transition require the entry article, not an edition-year inference. MLI application and complete later amendments, replacements or suspensions are NOT verified. No developments after the retained roster snapshot are certified. This is NOT a current consolidated instrument. Source-triage warnings: Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force. Known related/later instruments NOT included in this source (agent triage, not exhaustive): amending-protocol; signature date: 2021-10-08; entry into force: 2023-08-06; general application from: 2024-01-01; limit: Exact tax-specific application remains for protocol review.
