(1) Dividenden, die eine in einem Vertragsstaat ansässige
Gesellschaft an eine im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässige Per-
son zahlt, können im anderen Staat besteuert werden.
English
(1) Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a
Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State
may be taxed in that other State.
(2) Diese Dividenden können jedoch auch in dem Vertrags-
staat, in dem die die Dividenden zahlende Gesellschaft an-
sässig ist, nach dem Recht dieses Staates besteuert werden;
die Steuer darf aber, wenn der Nutzungsberechtigte der
Dividenden im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässig ist, nicht über-
steigen:
a) 5 vom Hundert des Bruttobetrags der Dividenden, wenn der
Nutzungsberechtigte eine Gesellschaft (jedoch keine Per-
sonengesellschaft oder deutsche Immobilien-Aktiengesell-
schaft (REIT-AG)) ist, die unmittelbar über mindestens
10 vom Hundert des Kapitals der die Dividenden zahlenden
Gesellschaft verfügt;
b) 15 vom Hundert des Bruttobetrags der Dividenden in allen
anderen Fällen.
Dieser Absatz berührt nicht die Besteuerung der Gesellschaft in
Bezug auf die Gewinne, aus denen die Dividenden gezahlt wer-
den.
English
(2) However, such dividends may also be taxed in the Con-
tracting State of which the company paying the dividends is a
resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the ben-
eficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other Contract-
ing State, the tax so charged shall not exceed:
a) 5 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends if the bene-
ficial owner is a company (other than a partnership or a Ger-
man Real Estate Investment Trust Company) which holds
directly at least 10 per cent of the capital of the company
paying the dividends;
b) 15 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends in all other
cases.
This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in
respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid.
(3) Der in diesem Artikel verwendete Ausdruck „Dividenden“
bedeutet Einkünfte aus Aktien, Genussscheinen oder anderen
Rechten – ausgenommen Forderungen – mit Gewinnbeteiligung
sowie sonstige Einkünfte, die nach dem Recht des Staates, in
dem die ausschüttende Gesellschaft ansässig ist, den Einkünf-
ten aus Aktien steuerlich gleichgestellt sind, sowie Ausschüt-
tungen auf Anteilscheine an einem Investmentvermögen.
English
(3) The term “dividends” as used in this Article means
income from shares, “jouissance” rights or other rights, not
being debt-claims, participating in profits, as well as other
income which is subjected to the same taxation treatment as
income from shares by the laws of the State of which the com-
pany making the distribution is a resident and distributions on
certificates of an investment fund or investment trust.
(4) Die Absätze 1 und 2 sind nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in
einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte im ande-
ren Vertragsstaat, in dem die die Dividenden zahlende Gesell-
schaft ansässig ist, eine gewerbliche Tätigkeit durch eine dort
gelegene Betriebsstätte ausübt und die Beteiligung, für die die
Dividenden gezahlt werden, tatsächlich zu dieser Betriebsstätte
gehört. In diesem Fall ist Artikel 7 anzuwenden.
English
(4) The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the
beneficial owner of the dividends, being a resident of a Con-
tracting State, carries on business in the other Contracting
State of which the company paying the dividends is a resident,
through a permanent establishment situated therein and the
holding in respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively
connected with such permanent establishment. In such case
the provisions of Article 7 shall apply.
(5) Erzielt eine in einem Vertragsstaat ansässige Gesellschaft
Gewinne oder Einkünfte aus dem anderen Vertragsstaat, so
darf dieser andere Staat weder die von der Gesellschaft gezahl-
ten Dividenden besteuern, es sei denn, dass diese Dividenden
an eine im anderen Staat ansässige Person gezahlt werden
oder dass die Beteiligung, für die die Dividenden gezahlt wer-
den, tatsächlich zu einer im anderen Staat gelegenen Betriebs-
stätte gehört, noch Gewinne der Gesellschaft einer Steuer für
nichtausgeschüttete Gewinne unterwerfen, selbst wenn die
gezahlten Dividenden oder die nichtausgeschütteten Gewinne
ganz oder teilweise aus im anderen Staat erzielten Gewinnen
oder Einkünften bestehen.
English
(5) Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting
State derives profits or income from the other Contracting
State, that other State may not impose any tax on the dividends
paid by the company, except insofar as such dividends are paid
to a resident of that other State or insofar as the holding in
respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected
with a permanent establishment situated in that other State, nor
subject the company’s undistributed profits to a tax on the
company’s undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or
the undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or
income arising in such other State.
