(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 14, in-
come derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an enter-
tainer, such as a theatre, motion picture, radio or television artiste
or a musician, or as a sportsperson, from that person’s personal
activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, may
be taxed in that other State.
(2) Where income in respect of personal activities exercised
by an entertainer or a sportsperson in that person’s capacity as
such accrues not to that person but to another person, that
income may, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 14,
be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the
entertainer or sportsperson are exercised.
(3) The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to
income derived from activities performed in a Contracting State
by entertainers or sportspersons if the visit to that State is wholly
or mainly supported by public funds of the other Contracting
State or, in the case of the Federal Republic of Germany, of
its States (Länder), or political subdivisions or local authorities
thereof. In such a case, the income is taxable only in the
Contracting State in which the entertainer or sportsperson is a
resident.
