(1) If in one of the Contracting States the taxes on dividends,
interest, royalties or other items of income derived by a person
who is a resident of the other Contracting State are levied by
withholding at source, the right of the first-mentioned State to
apply the withholding of tax at the rate provided under domestic
law shall not be affected by the provisions of this Agreement. The
tax withheld at source shall be refunded on application by the
taxpayer if and to the extent that it is reduced by this Agreement
or ceases to apply.
(2) Refund applications must be submitted by the end of the
fourth year following the calendar year in which the withholding
tax was applied to the dividends, interest, royalties or other items
of income.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph 1, each Contracting State shall
provide for procedures to the effect that payments of income
subject under this Agreement to no tax or only to reduced tax in
the State of source may be made without deduction of tax or
with deduction of tax only at the rate provided in the relevant
Article.
(4) The Contracting State in which the items of income arise
may ask for a certificate in respect of the residence of the appli-
cant from the competent authority of the other Contracting State.
(5) The competent authorities may by mutual agreement imple-
ment the provisions of this Article and if necessary establish
other procedures for implementation of tax reductions or
exemptions provided for under this Agreement.

The signing clause identifies German and English as equally authentic; both are supplied as separate machine transcriptions. No additional authentic language is identified in that clause. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. Printed line breaks, hyphens and uncertain token spacing are retained, not silently corrected. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-mauritius-2012-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence. Signed 2011-10-07; consent law 2012-10-02; Gazette publication 2012-10-09; treaty entry into force 2012-12-07 (retained official-article audit evidence); general tax application from 2013-01-01 (BMF 2026 roster, not every tax-specific transition). Consent-law commencement 2012-10-10 is NOT treaty entry into force. Encoding-recovery method: only the source font code00 /space Unicode mapping U+0007 to U+0020 changed in a separately hashed derivative. CFF blank glyph, 278-unit advance, unchanged page content streams and 23/23 identical source/derivative page renders for this edition evidence this mapping. Word regrouping is logged; every nonspace character is conserved in sequence within its physical source line. No model-generated treaty wording and no OCR.
Review status
Pending human wording, completeness, source-authority, currentness, alignment and rendering review. No legal review performed.
Currentness
Original source edition; not a verified current-law consolidation. BASE EDITION WITH KNOWN LATER AMENDMENT OMITTED. The 2021-10-29 amendment is not incorporated; its exact entry date remains unresolved. No current-law clearance. Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force.
Protocols and later instruments
The integral protocol signed 7 October 2011 is retained separately. A LATER AMENDING PROTOCOL signed 29 October 2021 is NOT included or consolidated here. The 2026 roster records general application from 1 January 2023 and cites the entry notice BGBl. 2023 II No.50; the official article still displays ./. for protocol entry into force. Exact amendment entry date and tax-specific effect remain UNRESOLVED pending examination of that notice. Do not treat this base edition as current consolidated law. MLI and any other later changes are not exhaustively verified. Source-triage warnings: Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments. Matching digest proves retained source identity, not legal force. Known related/later instruments NOT included in this source (agent triage, not exhaustive): amending-protocol; signature date: 2021-10-29; general application from: 2023-01-01; limit: Exact tax-specific application remains for protocol review.
