(1) The profits of an enterprise of a Contracting State
shall be taxable only in that State unless the enterprise
carries on business in the other Contracting State through
a permanent establishment situated therein. If the enter-
prise carries on business as aforesaid, the profits of the
enterprise may be taxed in the other State but only so
much of them as is attributable to that permanent
establishment.
(2} Where an enterprise of a Contracting State carries
on business in the other Contracting State through a
permanent establishment situated therein, there shall in
each Contracting State be attributed to that permanent
establishment the profits which it might be expected to
make if it were a distinct and separate enterprise engaged
in the same or similar activities under the same or
similar conditions and dealing wholly independently with
the enterprise of which it is a permanent establishment.
(3) In the determination of the profits of a permanent
establishment, there shall be allowed as deductions ex-
penses which are incurred for the purposes of the per-
manent establishment including executive and general
administrative expenses so incurred, whether in the State
in which the permanent establishment is situated or
elsewhere.
(4) Nothing in paragraph (2) shall preclude a Contract-
ing State from determining the profits to be attributed
to a permanent establishment on the basis of an ap-
portionment of the total profits of the enterprise to its
various parts; the method of apportionment adopted
shall, however, be such that the result shall be in accord-
ance with the principles laid down in this Article.
(5) No profits shall be attributed to a permanent estab-
lishment by reason of the mere purchase by that per-
manent establishment of goods or merchandise for the
enterprise.
(6) For the purposes of the preceding paragraphs, the
profits to be attributed to the permanent establishment
shall be determined by the same method year by year
unless there is good and sufficient reason to the contrary.
(7} Where profits include items of income which are
dealt with separately in other Articles of this Agree-
ment, then the provisions of those Articles shall not be
affected by the provisions of this Article.
