  earlier taxable periods or charges to tax;
  Mindful that information may only be sent by a jurisdiction under the amended Convention with respect

  force in a given year are only in a position to provide administrative assistance to receiving jurisdictions
  for taxable periods beginning or charges to tax arising on or after 1 January of the following year;
  Acknowledging that an existing Party to the amended Convention would be able to receive information

  taxable periods or charges to tax than the date foreseen in the amended Convention if both Parties
  declare to agree that another date of effect is applicable;
  
  Further acknowledging that, therefore, a new Party to the amended Convention would be able to send

  Declaration on the effective date for exchanges of information under the Multilateral Competent Authority
  Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information.
  Considering that Ecuador has committed to automatically exchange information in 2021 of information of
  2020 and that, in order to be able to automatically exchange information under Article 6 of the Convention
  on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters as amended by the Protocol amending the Convention
  on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters (hereafter the ???amended Convention???) in accordance
  with the timeline to which it has committed, Ecuador has signed a Declaration on joining the Multilateral
  Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (hereafter the

  Considering that, pursuant to its Article 28(6), the amended Convention shall have effect for administrative
  assistance related to taxable periods beginning on or after 1 January of the year following the one in which
  the amended Convention entered into force in respect of a Party, or where there is no taxable period, for
  administrative assistance related to charges to tax arising on or after 1 January of the year following the
  one in which the amended Convention entered into force in respect of a Party;
  Considering that Article 28(6) of the amended Convention provides that any two or more Parties may
  mutually agree that the amended Convention shall have effect for administrative assistance related to
  earlier taxable periods or charges to tax;
  Mindful that information may only be sent by a jurisdiction under the amended Convention with respect to
  taxable periods or charges to tax of the receiving jurisdiction for which the amended Convention is in effect

  in a given year are only in a position to provide administrative assistance to receiving jurisdictions for
  taxable periods beginning or charges to tax arising on or after 1 January of the following year;
  Acknowledging that an existing Party to the amended Convention would be able to receive information
  under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA from a new Party with respect to earlier
  taxable periods or charges to tax than the date foreseen in the amended Convention if both Parties declare
  to agree that another date of effect is applicable;
  
  Further acknowledging that, therefore, a new Party to the amended Convention would be able to send
  information under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA to an existing Party with
  respect to earlier taxable periods or charges to tax than the date foreseen in the amended Convention, if
  both Parties declare to agree that another date of effect is applicable;
  Recognising that the information received under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA
  may lead to follow-up requests by the receiving jurisdiction to the sending jurisdiction, which would relate
  to the same reporting period for which the sending jurisdiction has automatically exchanged information
  under the CRS MCAA;
  Confirming that the capacity of a jurisdiction to send CRS-related information under Article 6 of the
  amended Convention and the CRS MCAA, as well as information relating to follow-up requests pursuant

  Declaration on the effective date for exchanges of information under the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information.
  
  Considering that Nauru has committed to automatically exchange information as of 2018 and that, in order to be able to automatically exchange information under Article 6 of the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters as amended by the Protocol amending the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters (hereafter the ???amended Convention???) in accordance with the timeline to which it has committed, Nauru has signed a Declaration on joining the Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement on Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (hereafter the ???CRS MCAA???) on 28 June 2016;
  
  Considering that, pursuant to its Article 28(6), the amended Convention shall have effect for administrative assistance related to taxable periods beginning on or after 1 January of the year following
  the one in which the amended Convention entered into force in respect of a Party, or where there is no taxable period, for administrative assistance related to charges to tax arising on or after 1 January of the year following the one in which the amended Convention entered into force in respect of a Party;
  
  Considering that Article 28(6) of the amended Convention provides that any two or more Parties may mutually agree that the amended Convention shall have effect for administrative assistance related to earlier taxable periods or charges to tax;
  
  Mindful that information may only be sent by a jurisdiction under the amended Convention with respect to taxable periods or charges to tax of the receiving jurisdiction for which the amended Convention is in effect and that, as a consequence, sending jurisdictions for which the Convention has newly entered into force in a given year are only in a position to provide administrative assistance to receiving jurisdictions for taxable periods beginning or charges to tax arising on or after 1 January of the following year;
  
  Acknowledging that an existing Party to the amended Convention would be able to receive information under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA from a new Party with respect to earlier taxable periods or charges to tax than the date foreseen in the amended Convention if both Parties declare to agree that another date of effect is applicable;
  
  Further acknowledging that, therefore, a new Party to the amended Convention would be able to send information under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA to an existing Party with respect to earlier taxable periods or charges to tax than the date foreseen in the amended Convention, if both Parties declare to agree that another date of effect is applicable;
  
  Recognising that the information received under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA may lead to follow-up requests by the receiving jurisdiction to the sending jurisdiction, which would relate to the same reporting period for which the sending jurisdiction has automatically exchanged information under the CRS MCAA;
  
  Confirming that the capacity of a jurisdiction to send CRS-related information under Article 6 of the amended Convention and the CRS MCAA, as well as information relating to follow-up requests pursuant to Article 5 of the amended Convention, shall be governed by the terms of the CRS MCAA, including the relevant reporting periods of the sending jurisdiction contained therein, irrespective of the taxable periods or charges to tax of the receiving jurisdiction to which such information relates;
  
  Nauru declares that the amended Convention shall have effect in accordance with the terms of the CRS MCAA for administrative assistance under the CRS MCAA between Nauru and the other Parties to the amended Convention that have made similar declarations, irrespective of the taxable periods or charges to tax to which such information relates in the receiving jurisdiction.
  
  Nauru declares that the amended Convention shall also have effect for administrative assistance under its Article 5, between Nauru and the other Parties to the amended Convention that have made similar declarations, irrespective of the taxable periods or charges to tax to which such information relates in the receiving jurisdiction, when such assistance concerns follow-up requests related to information exchanged under the CRS MCAA with respect to reporting periods of the sending jurisdiction covered by the CRS MCAA.
