- 1 Pensions and annuities arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State may be taxed in that other State, but the amount of any pension included in income for the purposes of taxation in that other State shall not exceed the amount that would be included in the first-mentioned State if the recipient were a resident thereof.
- 2 However:
- (a) Pensions may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise and according to the laws of that State; but if a resident of the other Contracting State is the beneficial owner of a periodic pension payment, the tax so charged shall not exceed 15 per cent of the gross amount of such payment; and
- (b) Annuities may also be taxed in the Contracting State in which they arise and according to the laws of that State; but if a resident of the other Contracting State is the beneficial owner of an annuity payment, the tax so charged shall not exceed 15 per cent of the portion of such payment that is liable to tax in the first-mentioned State.
- 3 For the purposes of this Convention, the term pensions includes any payment under a superannuation, pension or retirement plan, Armed Forces retirement pay, war veterans pensions and allowances and amounts paid under a sickness, accident or disability plan, but does not include payments under an income-averaging annuity contract or any benefit referred to in paragraph 5.
- 4 For the purposes of the Convention, the term annuities means a stated sum paid periodically at stated times during life or during a specified number of years, under an obligation to make the payments in return for adequate and full consideration (other than services rendered), but does not include a payment that is not a periodic payment or any annuity the cost of which was deductible for the purposes of taxation in the Contracting State in which it was acquired.
- 5 Benefits under the social security legislation in a Contracting State paid to a resident of the other Contracting State or a citizen of the United States shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned State.
- 6 Alimony and other similar amounts (including child support payments) arising in a Contracting State and paid to a resident of the other Contracting State shall be taxable only in that other State, but the amount included in income for the purposes of taxation in that other State shall not exceed the amount that would be included in income in the first-mentioned State if the recipient were a resident thereof.

Edition notes and known limitations
This Schedule I preserves the base convention article sequence I–XXXI. It does not silently apply the separately printed amending protocols in Schedules II–VI.
Complete official XML of the Act and five amending protocols is separately retained under xml/ca-us-1980-with-protocols/.
Source-page annexes and diplomatic notes are retained as supplements, not appended to Article XXXI.
Capture SHA256 identifies complete retained publisher-text extraction, not original HTML transport bytes or any PDF.
Full capture/provenance: html/ca-us-1980-schedule/proof.json
v3 clean source sections: top-level searchable supplements have exact source offsets/hashes. Government navigation/footer and implementing-order explanatory notes remain in capture but are not treaty/legal supplement units.
Source authority, text completeness and currentness still require human review.
