(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 enterprise 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 attri-
butable to that permanent establishment.
(2) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 3, where an enter-
prise of a Contracting State carries on business in the other
Contracting State through a permanent establishment situ-
ated therein, there shall in each Contracting State be attribut-
ed to that permanent establishment the profits which it might
be expected to make if it were a distinct and separate enter-
prise 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 determining the profits of a permanent establishment,
there shall be allowed as deductions expenses which are in-
curred for the purposes of the permanent establishment, in-
cluding executive and general administrative expenses So in-
curred, whether in the State in which the permanent establish-
ment is situated or elsewhere.
(4) Insofar as it has been customary in a Contracting State
to determine the profits to be attributed to a permanent estab-
lishment on the basis of an apportionment of the total profits
of the enterprise to its various parts, nothing in paragraph 2
shall preclude that Contracting State from determining the
profits to be taxed by such an apportionment as may be cus-
tomary; the method of apportionment adopted shall, however,
be such that the result shall be in accordance with the prin-
ciples contained in this Article.
(5) No profits shall be attributed to a permanent establish-
_ ment by reason of the mere purchase by that permanent estab-
lishment 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 deter-
mined 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 Agreement, then the
provisions of those Articles shall not be affected by the provi-
sions of this Article.

Text and language scope
The original closing specifies German and English, equally authentic. No third authentic language is identified by these retained originals/audit; this is not a full-language accuracy certification. All text is unreviewed OCR, including retained wrong glyphs, punctuation, hyphens and spacing. Original pages20–22 retain an exchange of notes and a supplementary letter exchange. The German supplementary request on page21 is explicitly headed (Übersetzung) in print; OCR (Ubersetzung) is retained. The German editorial placeholders (Es folgt der Text der vorstehenden Note.) appear in BOTH printed columns and remain verbatim, not silently expanded or translated. Entry into force is unresolved in the retained audit; roster general application is not entry into force. Treaty preamble, closing, protocol, signatures, implementing law and any notes are retained separately at /review/de-new-zealand-1980-base/. Exact physical-page spans and unresolved OCR at /review/de-new-zealand-1980-base/evidence/. Source-page links are page references, not verified paragraph alignment.
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. Unknown as current law. Signed 1978-10-20; consent law 1980-09-04; gazette publication 1980-09-11. Edition ID year is not a signature date. Treaty entry into force: not resolved as a single source-bound field by the retained audit. Roster general application: 1978-01-01 (not a universal tax-specific rule). Evidence is the retained 2026-10-01 agent audit of source PDF, 2026-01-01 roster and cached official HTML, not a fresh current-law determination. 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
Printed signature protocol retained separately and not merged into articles. Roster future-instrument/negotiation entry (NOT proof of operative amendment): Neuseeland R-P P: 31.03.2025 KR KR. P = Paraphierung (initialled), NOT signature; U = signed, ratification pending; V = negotiation. R-P protocol/R-A replacement. MLI application and complete later amendments, replacements or suspensions are NOT verified. No developments after the retained roster snapshot are certified. This is NOT a current consolidated instrument. Source-triage warnings: Bounded agent triage, no qualified wording/alignment/legal review. No exhaustive verification of all later 2026 developments.
