Arbitration opt in: bilateral notification required before Part VI arbitration applies under covered tax agreements.

Choice to apply Part VI (Arbitration) permits a Party to elect the Part's arbitration mechanism for its Covered Tax Agreements by notifying the Depositary; arbitration under this Part applies to a Covered Tax Agreement only where both Contracting Jurisdictions have made such a notification, thereby conditioning the Part's operation on reciprocal consent.
