In June this year, India signed the Multilateral Convention (MLC) to implement tax treaty-related measures to prevent base erosion and profit shifting under the BEPS project. MLC seeks to modify a large number of tax treaties. The modification principally works on a reciprocal basis where countries notify (a) the treaties to which they intend to apply the MLC and (b) the provisions of the MLC, which they intend to apply to individual treaties.
