(1) Royalties arising in a Contracting State and beneficially
owned by a resident of the other Contracting State shall be
taxable only in that other State.
(2) The term “royalties” as used in this Article means pay-
ments of any kind received as a consideration for the use of, or
the right to use, any copyright of literary, artistic or scientific work
including cinematograph films, any patent, trade mark, design or
model, plan, secret formula or process, or for information con-
cerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience. The term
“royalties” shall also include payments of any kind for the use or
the right to use a person’s name, picture or any other similar
personality rights and payments received as consideration for
the recording of entertainers’ or sportsmen’s performances by
radio or television.
(3) The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply if the bene-
ficial owner of the royalties, being a resident of a Contracting
State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in which
the royalties arise, through a permanent establishment situated
therein and the right or property in respect of which the royalties
are paid is effectively connected with such permanent establish-
ment. In such case the provisions of Article 7 shall apply.
(4) Royalties shall be deemed to arise in a Contracting State
when the payer is a resident of that State. Where, however, the
person paying the royalties, whether he is a resident of a
Contracting State or not, has in a Contracting State a permanent
establishment in connection with which the liability to pay the
royalties was incurred, and such royalties are borne by such
permanent establishment, then such royalties shall be deemed
to arise in the Contracting State in which the permanent
establishment is situated.
(5) Where, by reason of a special relationship between the
payer and the beneficial owner or between both of them and
some other person, the amount of the royalties, having regard to
the use, right or information for which they are paid, exceeds the
amount which would have been agreed upon by the payer and
the beneficial owner in the absence of such relationship, the
provisions of this Article shall apply only to the last-mentioned
amount. In such case, the excess part of the payments shall
remain taxable according to the laws of each Contracting State,
due regard being had to the other provisions of this Agreement.
