§ PDF page 12
(2) Where income in respect of personal activities exercised by an entertainer or a sportsman in his capacity as such accrues not to the entertainer or sportsman himself but to another person, that income may, notwithstanding the provi- sions of Articles 7, 14 and 15, be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are exer- cised.

Edition notes and known limitations

Original source edition; not a verified current-law consolidation. Unknown. No current-law consolidation, effective-period determination, MLI application, or complete amendment-chain verification has been performed. Original publication year is not a current applicability date. No later amendment identified in roster I.1 or cached/fetched BMF article. The October1 HTML section was checked and matches the cache; this is not exhaustive currentness certification. Ghana is not listed in roster I.2 as of2026-01-01. A country-page omission does not prove absence of all later MLI/legal developments.

The protocol printed with this agreement is separately preserved in source supplements; it has not been merged into treaty articles. Subsequent protocols, amendments, MLI effects, replacements and suspensions are unresolved. This is not a consolidated current-law instrument. Source-triage warnings: No later amendment identified in roster I.1 or cached/fetched BMF article. The October1 HTML section was checked and matches the cache; this is not exhaustive currentness certification. Ghana is not listed in roster I.2 as of2026-01-01. A country-page omission does not prove absence of all later MLI/legal developments.

Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-ghana-2006-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence.
