(1) Dividends paid by a company which is a resident of a
Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State
may be taxed in that other State.
(2) However, such dividends may also be taxed in the
Contracting State of which the company paying the dividends is
a resident and according to the laws of that State, but if the
beneficial owner of the dividends is a resident of the other
Contracting State, the tax so charged shall not exceed:
a) 5 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends if the
beneficial owner is a company (other than a partnership or a
German Real Estate Investment Trust Company) which holds
directly at least 10 per cent of the capital of the company
paying the dividends;
b) 15 per cent of the gross amount of the dividends in all other
cases.
This paragraph shall not affect the taxation of the company in
respect of the profits out of which the dividends are paid.
(3) The term “dividends” as used in this Article means income
from shares, “jouissance” shares or “jouissance” rights, mining
shares, founders’ shares or other income which is subjected to
the same taxation treatment as income from shares by the laws
of the State of which the company making the distribution is a
resident.
(4) The provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply if the
beneficial owner of the dividends, being a resident of a Contract-
ing State, carries on business in the other Contracting State of
which the company paying the dividends is a resident through a
permanent establishment situated therein and the holding in
respect of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected
with such permanent establishment. In such case the provisions
of Article 7 shall apply.
(5) Where a company which is a resident of a Contracting
State derives profits or income from the other Contracting State,
that other State may not impose any tax on the dividends paid by
the company, except insofar as such dividends are paid to a
resident of that other State or insofar as the holding in respect
of which the dividends are paid is effectively connected with
a permanent establishment situated in that other State, nor
subject the company’s undistributed profits to a tax on the
company’s undistributed profits, even if the dividends paid or the
undistributed profits consist wholly or partly of profits or income
arising in such other State.
