BRITISH EMBASSY
The Hague, December 20, 1962.
Your Excellency,
I have the honour, upon instructions from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs, to refer to the Convention between the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland and the Kingdom of the Netherlands for the Avoidance
of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income,
signed at London on the 15th of October, 1948.
I have the honour to propose on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom that,
in accordance with the provisions of Article XIX, the above-mentioned Convention should
be extended to the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland in the manner, subject to
the modifications, and with effect from the dates specified in the Annex to the present
Note.
If the foregoing proposal is acceptable to the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands,
I have the honour to suggest that the present Note with its Annex, and Your Excellency's
reply to that effect should be regarded as constituting an Exchange of Notes as provided
for in the first paragraph of Article XIX of the abovementioned Convention and as
placing on record the agreement reached between the two Governments in this matter.
I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my
highest consideration.
(sd.) A. N. NOBLE
His Excellency
Dr. J. M. A. H. Luns
