(1) The profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State shall be
taxable only in that State unless the enterprise carries on busi-
ness in the other Contracting State through a permanent estab-
lishment situated therein. If the enterprise carries on business as
aforesaid, the profits of the enterprise may be taxed in the other
State but only so much of them as is attributable to that perma-
nent establishment.
(2) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (3), where an enter-
prise of a Contracting State carries on business in the other Con-
tracting State through a permanent establishment situated there-
in, there shall in each Contracting State be attributed to that
permanent establishment the profits which it might be expected
to make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged in
the same or similar activities under the same or similar condi-
tions and dealing wholly independently with the enterprise of
which it is a permanent establishment.
(3) In determining the profits of a permanent establishment,
there shall be allowed as deductions expenses which are in-
curred for the purposes of the permanent establishment, includ-
ing executive and general administrative expenses so incurred,
whether in the State in which the permanent establishment is
situated or elsewhere.
(4) Insofar as it has been customary in a Contracting State to
determine the profits to be attributed to a permanent establish-
ment on the basis of an apportionment of the total profits of the
enterprise to its various parts, nothing in paragraph (2) shall pre-
clude that Contracting State from determining the profits to be
taxed by such an apportionment as may be customary; the
method of apportionment adopted shall, however, be such that
the result shall be in accordance with the principles contained in
this Article.
(5) No profits shall be attributed to a permanent establishment
by reason of the mere purchase by that permanent establishment
of goods or merchandise for the enterprise.
(6) For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs of this Art -
icle, the profits to be attributed to the permanent establishment
shall be determined by the same method year by year unless
there is good and sufficient reason to the contrary.
(7) Where profits include items of income which are dealt with
separately in other Articles of this Agreement, then the provisions
of those Articles shall not be affected by the provisions of this
Article.
