(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7, 14 and 15,
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, 14 and 15, 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 entirely or
mainly from public funds of the other State, a political subdivi-
sion or a local authority thereof. In such a case the income may
be taxed only in the Contracting State of which the individual is
a resident.
