(1) Lizenzgebühren, die aus einem Vertragsstaat stammen und
deren Nutzungsberechtigter eine im anderen Vertragsstaat an-
sässige Person ist, können nur im anderen Vertragsstaat besteuert
werden.
English
(1) Royalties 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 „Lizenzgebüh-
ren“ bedeutet Zahlungen jeder Art, die als Gegenleistung für die
Benutzung oder für das Recht auf Benutzung von Urheberrech-
ten an literarischen, künstlerischen oder wissenschaftlichen Wer-
ken, einschließlich kinematographischer Filme, oder von Paten-
ten, Marken, Mustern oder Modellen, Plänen oder geheimen
Formeln oder Verfahren oder für die Mitteilung gewerblicher,
kaufmännischer oder wissenschaftlicher Erfahrungen bezogen
werden.
English
(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, or any patent, trade mark, design
or model, plan, or secret formula or process, or for information
concerning industrial, commercial or scientific experience.
(3) Absatz 1 ist nicht anzuwenden, wenn der in einem Ver-
tragsstaat ansässige Nutzungsberechtigte der Lizenzgebühren
im anderen Vertragsstaat, aus dem die Lizenzgebühren stam-
men, eine Geschäftstätigkeit durch eine dort gelegene Betriebs-
stätte ausübt und die Rechte oder Vermögenswerte, für welche
die Lizenzgebühren gezahlt werden, tatsächlich zu dieser Be-
triebsstätte gehören. In diesem Fall ist Artikel 7 anzuwenden.
English
(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) Bestehen zwischen dem Schuldner und dem Nutzungs -
berechtigten oder zwischen jedem von ihnen und einem Dritten
besondere Beziehungen und übersteigen deshalb die Lizenzge-
bühren, gemessen an der zugrunde liegenden Leistung, den
Betrag, den Schuldner und Nutzungsberechtigter ohne diese
Beziehungen vereinbart hätten, so wird dieser Artikel nur auf den
letzteren Betrag angewendet. In diesem Fall kann der über -
steigende Betrag nach dem Recht eines jeden Vertragsstaats
und unter Berücksichtigung der anderen Bestimmungen dieses
Abkommens besteuert 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 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 pro-
visions 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.
