Article 17 ♦ Municipal taxation# In the ikuerican Treaty
Article 6 provides that American citizens residing
in Muscati ports shall not pay any tax etc# other
than the general duties on ixaports which the most
favoured shall pay# In the French Treaty under
Article 10, imported goods which have paid an import
duty may be sold without paying any further duty.
Under Article 2 of the same Treaty French subjects
anywhere in the State of Muscat have all the
privileges which are enjoyed by the most favoured
nation. The draft Treaty, however, allows for
municipal taxes to be levied on all residents
without distinction of nationality. In consequence
both French and the United States of America are
better favoured nations than Great Britain, and
again recourse could be had to Article 2 paragraph
2 of the draft Treaty to level conditions to the
standard of those of the w most favoured nation^.
