and if, in such cases, both undertakings are bound in their commercial or financial relations by conditions which have been agreed or imposed on them and which differ from those which would have been negotiated between independent undertakings, any profits which, if not for those conditions, would have been achieved by one of the undertakings but have not been achieved, may be included in the profits of that undertaking and subsequently taxed.
Dividends
1. Dividends paid by a company resident in one Contracting State may be taxed in that other Contracting State.
2. However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which the company which pays them is resident under the legislation of that State, but where the beneficiary is the beneficial owner of dividends, the tax shall not exceed:
(a) 5% of the gross amount of dividends where the beneficiary is a company (other than a personal company) which directly owns at least 25% of the assets of the company paying dividends;
(b) 15% of the gross amount of dividends in all other cases.
This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the profits of the company on which dividends are paid.
The authorities of both States shall, by mutual agreement, adapt the method of application of this paragraph.
3. The term "dividends," used in this Article, refers to income from shares or other rights, with the exception of receivables, with a share in profits, as well as income from rights to companies which, under the tax legislation of the State in which the company which differentiates profits is resident, are equivalent to income from shares.
4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply where the beneficial owner of dividends resident in one Contracting State is engaged in an industrial or commercial activity in the second Contracting State in which the dividend company is resident through a permanent establishment situated there or is engaged in an independent occupation in that other State through a permanent base situated there, and where the participation for which dividends are paid actually relates to that permanent establishment or to that permanent establishment. In that case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14 shall apply depending on the case.
5. Where a company which is resident in one Contracting State achieves profits or income from the other Contracting State, that other State may not tax dividends paid by the company, unless such dividends are paid to the resident of that other State, or that the participation for which dividends are paid actually belongs to a permanent establishment or a permanent base located in that other State, or subject the company's undistributed profits to the tax on undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or retained earnings are wholly or partly derived from profits or income obtained in that other State.
Interest
1. Interest having a source in one Contracting State which is received by a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed only in that other State. The competent authorities of both States shall, by mutual agreement, adapt the method of application of this paragraph.
2. The term "interest" used in this Article shall refer to income from claims of any kind, secured or not secured by a lien on immovable property or having or not having the right to participate in the debtor's profits, and in particular, income from government securities and income from bonds or bonds, including premiums and rewards associated with such securities, bonds or bonds. Penalties for late payment shall not be considered interest for the purposes of this Article.
3. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply where the beneficial owner of interest resident in a Contracting State is engaged in an industrial or commercial activity in the second Contracting State in which the interest is received through a permanent establishment situated there or through an independent profession located there, and where the claim on which the interest is paid actually relates to that permanent establishment or to that permanent establishment. In that case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14 shall apply, depending on the case.
4. Where the amount of interest relating to the claim on which it is paid exceeds the amount which the payer would have agreed with the beneficial owner if it were not for such a relationship, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to that latter amount. In this case, the amount of the salary exceeding it shall be taxed under the legislation of each Contracting State, taking into account the other provisions of this Treaty.
Licence fees
1. Licensing fees, having a source in one Contracting State, paid by a resident of the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State.
2. However, such royalties may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which their source is, under the legislation of that State, but where the recipient is the beneficial owner of the royalties, the amount of tax thus determined shall not exceed 5% of the gross amount of the royalties. The competent authorities of both States shall, by mutual agreement, adapt the method of application of this paragraph.
3. The term "licence fees' used in this Article refers to payments of any kind received as compensation for the use or right to use any copyright in a literary, artistic or scientific work, including cinematographic films or films and radio and television tapes, any patent, trade mark, design or model, plan, secret formula or production process, or for the use or use of industrial, commercial or scientific equipment, or for information relating to industrial, commercial or scientific experience.
4. The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply where the beneficial owner of royalties resident in one Contracting State is engaged in a source, industrial or commercial activity through a permanent establishment situated there, or an independent profession through a permanent base situated there, and where the right or property giving rise to royalties is actually linked to that permanent establishment or permanent base. In this case, the provisions of Article 7 or Article 14 shall apply, depending on the case.
5. Licensing fees are assumed to have a source in a Contracting State if the payer is the State itself, its administrative department, local authority or resident of that State. However, where a licence fee payer, whether or not resident in a Contracting State, has a permanent establishment or permanent base in a Contracting State, in conjunction with which a licence fee has been charged to a permanent establishment or permanent base, it is assumed that such licence fees have a source in the Contracting State in which the permanent establishment or permanent base is located.
6. Where the amount of the licence fees relating to the use, right or information for which they are paid exceeds, as a result of special relations existing between the payer and the beneficial owner or which one or the other maintains with the third party, the amount which the payer would have agreed with the beneficial owner if it were not for such relationships, the provisions of this Article shall apply only to that last amount. In this case, the amount of the salary exceeding it shall be taxed under the legislation of each Contracting State, taking into account the other provisions of this Treaty.

Absence of double taxation
1. The double taxation will be avoided as follows: the Contracting State may, when imposing taxes on its residents, include in the base on which such taxes are levied revenue which may also be taxed in the second Contracting State under the provisions of the Articles of this Treaty, but shall allow the amount of tax calculated on that basis to be reduced by an amount equal to that paid in that other State. However, the amount by which the tax is to be reduced shall not exceed that part of the tax calculated by the Contracting State before its reduction, which is proportional to the revenue which may be taxed in that State under the provisions of this Treaty.
2. For the purposes of paragraph 1, the term "tax paid in a second State 'shall be considered to include any amount which would have been payable as a tax if it had not been granted a concession in the form of an allowance for deduction in the calculation of taxable income or exemption or reduction, or otherwise in accordance with the laws on taxation of income in force in the other Contracting State.
Principle of equal treatment
1. Nationals of one Contracting State shall not be subject in the other Contracting State to any taxation or obligations associated with it which are other than or more burdensome than taxation and to which nationals of that other State are or may be subject in the same situation. This provision shall also apply to persons not resident in one or both Contracting States, irrespective of the provisions of Article 1.
2. The taxation of a permanent establishment held by an undertaking of one Contracting State in the other Contracting State will not be more adverse in that other State than the taxation of undertakings of that other State which carry out the same activities. This provision shall not be interpreted as an obligation of one Contracting State to admit to the residents of the other Contracting State personal concessions, discounts and reductions due to the personal condition or obligations of the family which it grants to its own residents.
3. If the provisions of Article 9, paragraph 4 of Article 11 and paragraph 6 of Article 12 are not applied, interest, royalties and other expenses paid by an undertaking of a Contracting State to a person resident in the other Contracting State shall be deductible for the purposes of determining the taxable profits of that undertaking on the same terms as if they were paid to a person resident in the former State. Similarly, any debts owed by an undertaking of one Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State shall be deductible for the purposes of determining the taxable assets of such an undertaking under the same conditions as if they had been contracted against a resident of the former State.
4. The terms of one Contracting State whose assets are wholly or partly owned, directly or indirectly controlled, by a person or persons resident in the other Contracting State, shall not be subject in the former Contracting State to any taxation or obligations associated with it which are different or more burdensome than that of taxation and to which other similar undertakings of the former State are or may be subject.
Solving cases by agreement
1. Where a resident of a Contracting State considers that a measure by one or both Contracting States leads or leads to taxation which does not comply with the provisions of this Treaty, it may, irrespective of the remedies granted by the national law of those States, submit its case to the competent authority of the Contracting State of which it is resident or, where the case falls under paragraph 1 of Article 24 of the Office of the Contracting State of which it is a national. The case must be submitted within three years of the first notification of the measure leading to taxation which does not comply with the provisions of this Treaty.
2. If the competent authority considers the objection to be justified and is not able to find a satisfactory solution itself, it shall endeavour to have the case decided by agreement with the competent authority of the other Contracting State in such a way as to avoid taxation which is not in conformity with this Treaty.
3. The competent authorities of the Contracting States shall endeavour to resolve problems or doubts which may arise in the interpretation or application of this Treaty by agreement. They may also consult to avoid double taxation in cases not covered by the Treaty.
4. The competent authorities of the Contracting States may enter into direct contact in order to reach agreement within the meaning of the preceding paragraphs.
