(1) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 19,
pensions and similar payments or annuities paid to a resident of
the sovereign territory of a Contracting Party from the sovereign
territory of the other Contracting Party shall only be taxable in
the sovereign territory of the first-mentioned Contracting Party.
(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, payments
received by an individual being a resident of the sovereign
territory of a Contracting Party from the statutory social
insurance of the other Contracting Party shall be taxable only in
the sovereign territory of that other Contracting Party.
(3) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1, recurrent
or non-recurrent payments made by one of the Contracting
Parties or a political subdivision thereof to a person resident in
the sovereign territory of the other Contracting Party as
compensation for political persecution or for an injury or
damage sustained as a result of war (including restitution
payments) or of military or civil alternative service or of a crime,
vaccination or a similar event shall be taxable only in the
sovereign territory of the first-mentioned Contracting Party.
(4) The term “annuities” means certain amounts payable
periodically at stated times, for life or for a specified or
ascertainable period of time, under an obligation to make the
payments in return for adequate and full consideration in money
or money’s worth.
(5) Maintenance payments, including those for children,
made by a resident of the sovereign territory of one Contracting
Party to a resident of the sovereign territory of the other

sovereign territory of the first-mentioned Contracting Party in
computing the taxable income of the payer; tax allowances in
mitigation of social burdens are not deemed to be deductions
for the purposes of this paragraph.

Text and language scope
This source supplies German and English versions. The signing clause also identifies Macedonian as authentic; that third version is NOT present in this reader. Missing here does not mean globally unavailable. 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-north-macedonia-2010-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence.
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 2006-07-13; consent law 2010-10-16; gazette publication 2010-10-22. 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: 2011-01-01 (not a universal tax-specific rule). Cached official article entry statements (may refer to multiple instruments): 29.11.2010, 16.01.2018. 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. Later amending protocol signed 2016-11-14, entered into force 2018-01-16, general application 2019-01-01; NOT included in this base source. Tax-specific application needs review. Source implementing law expressly publishes the treaty in the corrected version resulting from the exchange of notes dated 2008-07-23. Those corrections are incorporated by the official publication, not by this reader. The separately headed exchange-of-notes document is not printed in this retained PDF; do not mistake the law reference for a complete separate notes reader. 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. 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: 2016-11-14; entry into force: 2018-01-16; general application from: 2019-01-01; limit: Exact tax-specific application remains for protocol review.
