(2) The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply to income, other than income from immovable property as defined in para- graph 2 of Article 6, derived by a resident of a Contracting State who carries on business in the other Contracting State through a permanent establishment situated therein and the right or prop- erty in respect of which the income is paid is effectively connect- ed with such permanent establishment. In such case the provi- sions of Article 7 shall apply. Where, however, the income comprises dividends paid by a company which is a resident of the first-mentioned State, or interest or royalties arising in that State, the income may be taxed in that State at the rates provid- ed in paragraphs 2 of Article 10, paragraph 2 of Article 11 or paragraph 2 of Article 12 respectively.
