(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 14,
income 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 sportsman, from his 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 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 and 14, be taxed in the Contracting State in
which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are exer-
cised.
(3) Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to income accruing
from the exercise of activities by artistes or sportsmen in a Con-
tracting State where the visit to that State is financed to more
than 60 per cent by public funds of the other State, a Land, a
political subdivision or a local authority thereof or by an organi-
sation which in that other State is recognised as a charitable
organisation. In such a case the income shall be taxable only in
the Contracting State of which the individual is a resident.
