This study proposes to analyze the phenomenon of tax treaty abuse and the use of tax treaties as tools to avoid or minimize the taxation by residents doing business in a foreign jurisdiction. This study analyses a particular strategy using tax treaties known as "treaty shopping." This paper will argue that treaty shopping constitutes an abuse of the tax treaty regime. However, this study rejects the traditional arguments against treaty shopping and proposes a different basis to challenge the legitimacy of this practice and to explain why this strategy constitutes an improper use of tax treaties.
