(1) Zinsen, die aus einem Vertragsstaat stammen und deren
Nutzungsberechtigter eine im anderen Vertragsstaat ansässige
Person ist, können nur im anderen Vertragsstaat besteuert wer-
den.
English
(1) Interest arising in a Contracting State and beneficially
owned by a resident of the other Contracting State shall be tax-
able only in that other Contracting State.
(2) Der in diesem Artikel verwendete Ausdruck „Zinsen“ be-
deutet Einkünfte aus Forderungen jeder Art, auch wenn die For-
derungen durch Pfandrechte an Grundstücken gesichert oder mit
einer Beteiligung am Gewinn des Schuldners ausgestattet sind,
und insbesondere Einkünfte aus öffentlichen Anleihen und aus
Obligationen einschließlich der damit verbundenen Aufgelder
und der Gewinne aus Losanleihen sowie alle sonstigen Einkünfte,
die nach dem Steuerrecht des Vertragsstaats, aus dem sie stam-
men, den Einkünften aus Darlehen steuerlich gleichgestellt sind.
Der Ausdruck umfasst jedoch nicht die in Artikel 10 behandelten
Einkünfte. Zuschläge für verspätete Zahlung gelten nicht als Zin-
sen im Sinne dieses Artikels.
English
(2) The term “interest” as used in this Article means income
from debt-claims of every kind, whether or not secured by mort-
gage and whether or not carrying a right to participate in the
debtor’s profits, and in particular, income from government
securities and income from bonds or debentures, including pre-
miums and prizes attaching to such securities, bonds or deben-
tures, and all other income that is subjected to the same taxation
treatment as income from money lent by the tax laws of the Con-
tracting State in which the income arises. This term, however,
does not include income dealt with in Article 10. Penalty charges
for late payment shall not be regarded as interest for the purpose
of this Article.
(3) Absatz 1 ist nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in einem Ver-
tragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte der Zinsen im anderen
Vertragsstaat, aus dem die Zinsen stammen, eine Geschäfts -
tätigkeit durch eine dort gelegene Betriebsstätte ausübt und die
Forderung, für welche die Zinsen gezahlt werden, tatsächlich zu
dieser Betriebsstätte gehört. In diesem Fall ist Artikel 7 anzuwen-
den.
English
(3) The provisions of paragraph 1 shall not apply if the bene-
ficial owner of the interest, being a resident of a Contracting
State, carries on business in the other Contracting State in which
the interest arises through a permanent establishment situated
therein and the debt-claim in respect of which the interest is paid
is effectively connected with such permanent establishment. In
such case the provisions of Article 7 shall apply.
(4) Bestehen zwischen dem Schuldner und dem Nutzungs -
berechtigten oder zwischen jedem von ihnen und einem Dritten
besondere Beziehungen und übersteigen deshalb die Zinsen, ge-
messen an der zugrunde liegenden Forderung, den Betrag, den
Schuldner und Nutzungsberechtigter ohne diese Beziehungen
vereinbart hätten, so wird dieser Artikel nur auf den letzteren Be-
trag angewendet. In diesem Fall kann der übersteigende Betrag
nach dem Recht eines jeden Vertragsstaats und unter Berück-
sichtigung der anderen Bestimmungen dieses Abkommens be-
steuert werden.
English
(4) 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 interest, having regard to
the debt-claim for which it is 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.
