This note revisits the guidance issued by the OECD Secretariat in April 2020 on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tax treaties. The guidance represents the Secretariat's views, supported by Working Party 1 (in its inclusive framework setting), on the interpretation of the provisions of tax treaties intending to provide more certainty to taxpayers during this exceptional period when those measures were applicable. The guidance reflects the general approach of Working Party 1 and illustrates how some jurisdictions have addressed the impact of COVID-19 on the tax situations of individuals and employers. This updated guidance outlines the application of the existing rules and the OECD Commentary on concerns related to the creation of permanent establishments; the application of "tie-breaker" rules to dual residents; and the tax treaty treatment of income from employment
