Özet
Article 2 of double taxation agreements (DTAs) is intended to ensure covered taxes under a DTA. Article 2 is significant since the legal protection provided by DTAs is limited only to the scope of DTAs. However, the wording of Article 2 may lead to confusion and uncertainty for taxpayers in terms of taxes within the scope of DTAs. In recent years, there has been a widespread trend of excluding digital service taxes (DSTs) from DTAs due to the lack of a global consensus on a common solution. This has refocused attention on Article 2. The fact that there is a scarcity of research on Article 2 raises concerns about what will happen if different types of taxes emerge over time. In this article, some important points and Türkiye’s approach related to Article 2 and Türkiye’s DST law which sometimes causes ambiguities and uncertainties for taxpayers were highlighted. This article also aimed to enhance a common understanding of the logic of the term ‟taxes covered.” The research employed the descriptive research method, primarily utilizing the OECD Model Tax Convention (MTC) and its commentary, as well as prominent academic studies in the field and the Turkish DST law
