Original & source
§
1. Subject to the provisions of the laws of Norway regarding the allowance as a credit against Norwegian tax of tax payable in a terri­tory outside Norway (which shall not affect the general principle of this Article) -
§
a) Where a resident of Norway derives income which, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, may be taxed in the United Kingdom, Norway shall allow as a deduction from the tax on the income of that resident, an amount equal to the United Kingdom tax paid on that income.
§
Such deduction shall not, however, exceed that part of the income tax, as computed before the deduction is given, which is attributable to the income which may be taxed in the United Kingdom.
§
b) Where in accordance with any provision of the Convention income derived by a resident of Norway is exempt from tax in Norway, Norway may nevertheless include such income in the tax base, but shall allow as a deduction from the Norwegian tax on income that part of the income tax which is attributable to the income derived from the United Kingdom.
§
2. Subject to the provisions of the law of the United Kingdom regarding the allowance as a credit against United Kingdom tax of tax payable in a territory outside the United Kingdom or, as the case may be, regarding the exemption from United Kingdom tax of a dividend arising in a territory outside the United Kingdom or of the profits of a permanent establishment situated in a territory outside the United Kingdom (which shall not affect the general principle hereof):
§
a) Norwegian tax payable under the laws of Norway and in accordance with this Convention, whether directly or by deduction, on profits, income or chargeable gains from sources within Norway (excluding in the case of a dividend tax payable in respect of the profits out of which the dividend is paid) shall be allowed as a credit against any United Kingdom tax computed by reference to the same profits, income or chargeable gains by reference to which the Norwegian tax is computed;
§
b) a dividend which is paid by a company which is a resident of Norway to a company which is a resident of the United Kingdom shall be exempted from United Kingdom tax when the exemption is applicable and the conditions for exemption under the law of the United Kingdom are met;
§
c) the profits of a permanent establishment in Norway of a company which is a resident of the United Kingdom shall be exempted from United Kingdom tax when the exemption is applicable and the conditions for exemption under the law of the United Kingdom are met;
§
d) in the case of a dividend not exempted from tax under sub-paragraph b) which is paid by a company which is a resident of Norway to a company which is a resident of the United Kingdom and which controls directly or indirectly at least 10 per cent of the voting power in the company paying the dividend, the credit mentioned in sub-paragraph a) above shall also take into account the Norwegian tax payable by the company in respect of its profits out of which such dividend is paid.
§
3. For the purposes of paragraph 2, profits, income and gains owned by a resident of the United Kingdom which may be taxed in Norway in accordance with this Convention shall be deemed to arise from sources in Norway.
