(1) If in one of the Contracting States the taxes on dividends,
interest, royalties or other items of income derived by a person
who is a resident of the other Contracting State are levied by
withholding at source, the right of the first-mentioned State to
apply the withholding of tax at the rate provided under its
domestic law shall not be affected by the provisions of this
Agreement. The tax withheld at source shall be refunded on
application by the taxpayer if and to the extent that it is reduced
by this Agreement or ceases to apply.
(2) Refund applications must be submitted by the end of the
fourth year following the calendar year in which the withholding
tax was applied to the dividends, interest, royalties or other items
of income.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph 1, each Contracting State shall
provide for procedures to the effect that payments of income
subject under this Agreement to no tax or only to reduced tax in
the state of source may be made without deduction of tax or with
deduction of tax only at the rate provided in the relevant Article.
(4) The Contracting State in which the items of income arise
may ask for a certificate by the competent authority on the
residence in the other Contracting State.
(5) The competent authorities may by mutual agreement im-
plement the provisions of this Article and if necessary establish
other procedures for the implementation of tax reductions or
exemptions provided for under this Agreement.
