What agency authority does the India–UK treaty's dependent-agent limb require?
The compiled answer
Article 5(4)(a) speaks of an authority "to negotiate and enter into contracts for or on behalf of the enterprise" — on its face wider than the OECD conclude-contracts formula, reaching habitual negotiation. The pair is MLI-covered but the UK reserved on MLI Article 12, so this treaty text applies unmodified.
