(4) Gains derived by a resident of a Con- tracting State from the alienation of: a) shares (other than shares listed on an approved stock exchange in the other Contracting State) forming part of a substantial interest in the capital stock of a company which is a resident of that other State the value of which shares is derived principally from immovable property situated in that other State; or b) an interest in a partnership, trust or estate the value of which is derived principally from immovable property situated in the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State. For the purposes of this paragraph, the term “immovable property” does not include property (other than rental property) in which the business of the company, part- nership, trust or estate is carried on; and a substantial interest in the capital stock of a company exists when the resident and per- sons related thereto own 10 per cent or more of the shares of any class of the capital stock of a company.

Au sens du présent paragraphe, l’expression «biens immobiliers» ne comprend pas les biens (autres que les biens locatifs) dans lesquels la société, la société de per- sonnes, la fiducie ou la succession exerce son activité; et, il existe une participation substantielle dans le capital d’une société lorsque le résident et des personnes qui lui sont associées possèdent au moins 10 p. 100 des actions d’une catégorie quel- conque du capital d’une société.

(7) In the case of an individual who has been a resident of a Contracting State and who has become a resident of the other Contracting State: a) the provisions of paragraph 6 shall not affect the right of either of the Contract- ing States to levy, according to its law, a tax on gains from the alienation of any property derived by such individual at any time during the ten years following the date on which the individual has ceased to be a resident of the first- mentioned State; b) where that individual is treated for the purposes of taxation in the first-men- tioned State as having alienated a prop- erty and is taxed in that State by reason thereof, the individual may elect to be treated for the purposes of taxation in the other State as if the individual had, immediately before becoming a resi- dent of that State, sold and repur- chased the property for an amount equal to its fair market value at that time. However, this provision shall not apply to property any gain from which, arising immediately before the individ- ual became a resident of that other State, may be taxed in that other State nor to immovable property situated in a third State.

Français

(7) Dans le cas d’une personne physique qui a été un résident d’un État contractant et qui est devenue un résident de l’autre État contractant: a) les dispositions du paragraphe 6 ne portent pas atteinte au droit de chacun des États contractants de percevoir, conformément à sa législation, un impôt sur les gains provenant de l’alié- nation d’un bien et réalisés par la personne physique à un moment quel- conque au cours des dix années sui- vant la date à laquelle cette personne physique a cessé d’être un résident du premier État; b) lorsque la personne physique est considérée aux fins d’imposition dans le premier État comme ayant aliéné un bien et est imposée dans cet État en raison de cette aliénation, elle peut choisir, aux fins d’imposition dans l’autre État, d’être considérée comme ayant vendu et racheté, immédiatement avant de devenir un résident de cet État, le bien pour un montant égal à sa juste valeur marchande à ce moment. Toutefois, la présente disposition ne s’applique ni aux biens qui donneraient lieu, immédiatement avant que la per- sonne physique ne devienne un rési- dent de cet autre État, à des gains imposables dans cet autre État, ni aux biens immobiliers situés dans un État tiers.

No English/French version of that supplement is supplied or invented. Signature 2001-04-19 differs from edition ID/publication year 2002. No qualified human wording review, legal review, current-law or publication approval. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected.
