(3) The taxation on a permanent establishment which an en- terprise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than the tax- ation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the same activities. This provision shall not be construed as obliging a Contracting State to grant to residents of the other Contracting State any personal allowances, reliefs and reductions for taxa- tion purposes on account of civil status or family responsibilities which it grants only to its own residents.
