Главной задачей многосторонней конвенции является введение минимальных стандартов для борьбы с уклонением от налогообложения. Благодаря многосторонней конвенции подходы, выработанные в рамках плана БЭПС, будут применяться к большому числу соглашений об избежании двойного налогообложения без проведения длительных двусторонних переговоров. С 1 января 2021 года многосторонняя конвенция начала применяться в отношении ряда налоговых соглашений, заключенных Российской Федерацией. Однако некоторые аспекты применения многосторонней конвенции вызывают спорные вопросы, которые в настоящий момент остаются неразрешенными. В краткосрочной перспективе можно ожидать, что применение ряда положений многосторонней конвенции усугубит проблему правовой неопределенности в международном налоговом планировании и приведет к увеличению числа споров по налоговым соглашениям. Задачей настоящей статьи выступает исследование ключевых положений многосторонней конвенции и выявление проблем их правоприменения для последующего анализа возможных способов преодоления правовой неопределенности при применении этой конвенции. Рассмотрены цели принятия многосторонней конвенции, проанализированы содержание и порядок применения, а также ее основной стандарт — тест основной цели. Выявление спорных вопросов правоприменения многосторонней конвенции до начала ее активного использования имеет важное значение, поскольку позволит на более ранней стадии обратить внимание на возможные проблемы и скорее перейти к их разрешению, что будет способствовать повышению правовой определенности в сфере международного налогового планирования и дальнейшему развитию внешнеэкономического сотрудничества.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>On October 1, 2019, the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting entered into force with respect to the Russian Federation. The main purpose of the MLI is to establish minimum standards for combating international tax avoidance. The MLI will extend the key approaches of the BEPS plan at once to a large number of bilateral double tax treaties. The application of the MLI is expected from January 1, 2021 in relation to a number of tax treaties concluded by the Russian Federation. At the same time, certain provisions of the MLI leave some questions about their application and may cause new problems for the taxpayers and tax authorities. In the short term, the application of a number of MLI provisions may be expected to increase uncertainty in international tax planning and lead to an increase in the number of disputes over tax treaties. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the key provisions of the MLI and identify possible problems of their enforcement for the subsequent analysis of potential ways to overcome the legal uncertainty of the application of the MLI. To this end, the tasks were set to study the goal of adopting the MLI, and analyze the content and procedure for the application of the MLI, as well as the content of the key standard of the MLI—the principal purpose test. Identifying the problems of law enforcement before the start of active use of the MLI is important, since it would allow one to pay attention to possible problems at an earlier stage and quickly move to their resolution, which would contribute to the formation of a higher level of legal certainty in the field of international tax planning and further development of foreign economic cooperation. </p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>международное налоговое право</kwd><kwd>многосторонняя конвенция ОЭСР</kwd><kwd>план БЭПС</kwd><kwd>противодействие уклонению от налогообложения</kwd><kwd>тест основной цели</kwd><kwd>правовая определенность</kwd><kwd>международное сотрудничество</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>international tax law</kwd><kwd>Multilateral Instrument</kwd><kwd>MLI</kwd><kwd>anti-avoidance</kwd><kwd>principal purpose test</kwd><kwd>tax certainty</kwd><kwd>international cooperation</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Милоголов Н.
