Abstract: This case note examines the Full Federal Court of Australia's decision in Oracle v Commissioner of Taxation, which repositioned the Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) as the presumptive primary forum for resolving cross-border tax treaty disputes ahead of domestic litigation. It analyses the Court's treatment of taxpayer sequencing rights under the MLI, the evidentiary threshold for revenue-authority public interest objections, and the decision's implications for jurisdictions, including India and other Global South economies, facing structural conflicts between domestic limitation periods and MAP timelines.
