1. Nationals of a Contracting State shall not be subjected in
the other Contracting State to any taxation or any requirement
connected therewith which is other or more burdensome than
the taxation and connected requirements to which nationals of
that other State in the same cirumstances, especially with
respect to residence, are or may be subjected. This provision
shall, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 1, also apply to
persons who are not residents of one or both of the Contracting
States.
2. Stateless persons who are residents of a Contracting State
shall not be subjected in either Contracting State to any taxation
or any requirement connected therewith, which is other or more
burdensome than the taxation and connected requirements to
which nationals of the State concerned in the same circum-
stances are or may be subjected.
3. The taxation on a permanent establishment which an enter-
prise of a Contracting State has in the other Contracting State
shall not be less favourably levied in that other State than the
taxation levied on enterprises of that other State carrying on the
same activities. This provision shall not be construed as obliging
a Contracting State to grant to residents of the other Contracting
State any personal allowances, reliefs and reductions for taxation
purposes which it grants only to its own residents.
4. Except where the provisions of paragraph 1 of Article 9,
paragraph 4 of Article 11, or paragraph 4 of Article 12 apply,
interest, royalties and other disbursements paid by an enterprise
of a Contracting State to a resident of the other Contracting State
shall, for the purpose of determining the taxable profits of such
enterprise, be deductible under the same conditions as if they
had been paid to a resident of the first-mentioned State. Similarly,
any debts of an enterprise of a Contracting State to a resident of
the other Contracting State shall, for the purpose of determining
the taxable capital of such enterprise, be deductible under the
same conditions as if they had been contracted to a resident of
the first-mentioned State.
5. Enterprises of a Contracting State, the capital of which is
wholly or partly owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by one
or more residents of the other Contracting State, shall not be
subjected in the first-mentioned State to any taxation or any
requirement connected therewith which is other or more burden-
some than the taxation and connected requirements to which
other similar enterprises of the first-mentioned State are or may
be subjected.
