1. Where
a) an enterprise of a Contracting State participates directly or
indirectly in the management, control or capital of an enter-
prise of the other Contracting State, or
b) the same persons participate directly or indirectly in the man-
agement, control or capital of an enterprise of a Contracting
State and an enterprise of the other Contracting State,
and in either case conditions are made or imposed between the
two enterprises in their commercial or financial relations which
differ from those which would be made between independent
enterprises, then any profits which would, but for those condi-
tions, have accrued to one of the enterprises, but, by reason of
those conditions, have not so accrued, may be included in the
profits of that enterprise and taxed accordingly.
2. Where a Contracting State includes in the profits of an
enterprise of that State – and taxes accordingly – profits on
which an enterprise of the other Contracting State has been
charged to tax in that other State and the profits so included are
profits which would have accrued to the enterprise of the first-
mentioned State if the conditions made between the two enter-
prises had been those which would have been made between
independent enterprises, then that other State shall make an
appropriate adjustment to the amount of the tax charged therein
on those profits. In determining such adjustment, due regard
shall be had to the other provisions of this Agreement and the
competent authorities of the Contracting States shall if neces-
sary consult each other.
