Avvikelser i svenska skatteavtal

Möjligheten att utvidga avtalets territoriella tillämpningsområde saknar praktisk betydelse för Sverige eftersom hela Sveriges territorium omfattas av våra skatteavtal. Den har däremot betydelse för vissa avtalsparter, se till exempel avtalen med Frankrike (artikel 29) och Nederländerna (artikel 31).
