(1) Subject to the provisions of German tax law regarding
credit for foreign tax, there shall be allowed as a credit against
German tax payable in respect of income or capital which, ac-
cording to this Agreement, may be taxed in Cyprus, the Cyprus
tax paid under the laws of Cyprus and in accordance with this
Agreement.
(2) Where in accordance with any provisions of the Agreement
income derived or capital owned by a resident of Germany is ex-
empt from tax in Germany, Germany may nevertheless in calcu-
lating the amount of tax on the remaining income or capital of
such resident, take into account the exempted income or capital.
(3) Tax shall be determined in the case of a resident of Cyprus
as follows:
Subject to the provisions of Cyprus tax law regarding credit for
foreign tax, there shall be allowed as a credit against Cyprus tax
payable in respect of any item of income derived from Germany
or capital owned in Germany the tax paid under the laws of Ger-
many and in accordance with this Agreement. The credit shall
not, however, exceed that part of the Cyprus tax, as computed
before the credit is given, which is appropriate to such items of
income or capital.

Text and language scope
The original signing clause identifies German, Greek and English as authentic. Only German and English are supplied; the authentic Greek version is NOT included. The clause gives English precedence in divergent interpretation of the German and Greek texts. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-cyprus-2011-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence. Signed 2011-02-18; consent law 2011-11-01; Gazette publication 2011-11-07; treaty entry into force UNRESOLVED in pinned audit (retained official-article audit evidence); general application from 2012-01-01 (roster, not universal tax-specific start). Encoding-recovery method: only independently evidenced source font code00 /space Unicode mappings U+0007 to U+0020 changed in a separately hashed derivative. CFF blank glyphs, 278-unit advances, unchanged decoded page content streams and 21/21 identical page renders evidence this mapping. Word regrouping is logged; every nonspace character is conserved in sequence within its physical source line. No generated treaty wording and no OCR.
